A bit about me…

After a crappy childhood spent in New Hampshire, Texas and Vermont, I left home to attend a crappy college in Maine.

After studying History & Education, I ended up pursuing neither of these disciplines in my adult life.

After spending a few years goofing off and doing a bit of, (though not enough), traveling, I settled down, got married, landed a grown up job, and bought a house.

After my daughter came along, I left my adult job to become a night-time wage slave; the benefit being that I could be home everyday for my children. (A son was born during this period.)

In the fall, I may be going back to college to earn an Art Degree.  Yes, an Art Degree.  Don’t laugh.   I’m doing simply for the fun, and because I need something new in my life.  (update – 3 years later and this hasn’t happened.  Another turd for the shit-pile that is life.)

Ask me about my fissures, if you dare!

I can’t jump into water without holding my nose.

No, these aren’t implants, they are all real and all mine.

I’m a better cook then my wife.

I’m enjoying using WordPress to build this site, but I am still not completely happy with is. Contact me is you want to be my “webmaster”.

I cant tell you how much I absolutely hate winter, but I am sure that I will most likely end up living out the rest of my cursed days in New England.

I like dogs AND cats.

I like going to the movies alone, but prefer not to because of the looks other people give you when you go to a movie alone.
