: About Me

Work is my favorite activity, for it allows me to meet fascinating people. Such people, I find, broaden my perspectives in so many ways. Reading is a favorite hobby of mine also, especially important biographies. There are many pursuits I have chosen for their help in developing my outlook, and views of things deemed most important. My satisfaction with such choices is immense. Writing, clearly, is the one best way to give voice to your acquired emotions, therefore, I am a happy man.

My passion is ...

Children and grandchildren, and passion itself.

I know too much about ...

Nothing at all, unless one considers the US Constitution relevant

My parents always told me ...

Family came first in all things, and it did

My childhood ambition ...

To be a meteorologist, that is the truth

My favorite memory ...

A mothers love, given often, and freely when least expected

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

I read all biographies of important personalities, love talk radio, and watch TCM frequently late in the evening.

My first job ...

Bag catcher in a chemical fertilizer plant, first 100 pounders, then 167 pounders. Nowadays, I'll settle for a quarter pounder..

Becoming a proud father, then grandfather. That's it I quit!

My inspiration ...

My God, and my family, and my friends at Helium.
