About Me
I am doing pretty well, thank God. Life on this earth can be pretty wacky but I am (still) learning to walk better with Him, so I am optimistic about the future. Since I plan to live to about a zillion years old, I have a lot of plans. At this point, I am close to being free from the Mr. Mom role, which has been primary in my world for the last 18-19 years. So I'm excited about the possibilities.
My Interests
Single guy for too long, proud dad of a 21-yr-old daughter I raised myself, having fun in the sun. I want to find someone to share the rest of my life with. There's so much I want to do, but not alone anymore. A dream come true would be to be able to travel to wherever the needs are, as God leads, and to have the joy of helping others a lot more. I've had little tastes of wealth, auto racing, travel, etc. and I like them very much (!), but they do pale in comparison to the most exciting activity, that of being actively In His Service.
Employment or Career
Architect working on becoming financially independent so I can be free (I have some miles to go before I get there).
Music I Like
Everything as long as it's really good... except rap and hip-hop. My favorite is old jazz and big band, like Ella, Satchmo et al. I like Madeleine Peyroux and Sympathique, and sometimes I listen to classical in the car, but I have to admit I that although I like it, I don't know much about it. And then, when the feeling hits, I'll just rock out for a while on some actual modern stuff that my daughter turns me on to.
Books I Like
The Bible, self-improvement, leadership and life-success books, and an enjoyable novel or two now and then. James Lee Burke is pretty good, especially his later stuff.
Television I like
Turner Classic Movies, auto racing, not much else, usually...
Movies I like
Old ones, foreign stuff, and now and then Hollywood actually produces something worth seeing. Frank Capra, Billy Wilder, Bogart, etc. I think my daughter has watched Wuthering Heights and Little Women each about 4,000 times.
Sports Teams I like
Ferrari Formula 1 team ,but most pro sports now seems like big business more than anything, so I tend to gravitate towards more grass-roots stuff. We went to the vintage races on Coronado Island (San Diego), and there one could hang out with everyone from blue collar guys giving it a go in their home-built old Chevys to millionaires with their one-of-a-kind Le Mans classics, and all were friendly and enjoying each other's company. I think a lot of sports are like that now, by which I mean if you look for heart you can find it.

Do me a favor and tell Davis to quit bugging me about the supposed $11.09 I still owe him for a WhataBurger. He has got me mixed up with Bill Fury which in an of itself is a scary thought.
Jane says "hello". Stay Well.

Lovely chatting with you in 9th "unequivocably the funniest" Corps chat room the other night. When I was 17 years old playing Mame in a high school play, my favorite line was when Mame admonishes her young nephew with "Life is a banquet and most poor sons-of-bitches are starving to death. Live! I used to grandiosely muse that that would be a great title for my autobiography. I love that you quoted it. And also that you enlightened me as to the Yiddish etiology of Morrow....Aloha,

I don’t know you, however your name rings a bell. (ha) I read in one of your messages info on a “Way Corps” for “our” kids….if you have information I would be interested in hearing about it.
