Anything else you want to know about me...feel free to ask...just save the really personal stuff until you really get to know me.

Interests:

   I am a musician at heart.  I love classical, jazz, swing, dance, disco, broadway, barbershop, classic rock, pop, even go for good concert band music...how's that for eclectic taste.  The only things I really hate is rap, alternative rock, and really twangy country (yee-hah).  I sing, play piano, and even have been known to do some choral conducting in my time.

    I like sports...just don't ask me to watch professional play...damn guys get paid way too much and it just puts a bad taste in my mouth.  I enjoy watching ameteur stuff...it's more realistic anyway.  Pros make it look way too easy.  I like the realism of mistakes being made every once in a while.  What do I enjoy watching?  Well, football, soccer, and hockey are great to watch...I can tolerate baseball but absolutely loathe basketball.  As far as playing anything...golf and tennis.  And if you every want to play take one thing into consideration....I suck at both of them so have some tolerance for the enthusiastic loser of the sports.  If you want something I'm decent at...I have been known to throw a mean bowling ball in my time.

Well, that's about it on me... you might as well go back to the home page now.
