About

Welcome to the dreaded “about” page. I have delayed creating this page as I am a fan of the old saying, “It’s better to remain silent and appear a fool, than to speak up and remove all doubt”.
But by now, you have probably figured it out anyway.
So here goes….

At the risk of sounding like an eHarmony ad, let’s just get this one out of the way. I do like long walks on the beach at sunset.

Hobbies include photography, travel and music.

All kinds of music except for smooth jazz because it is crap elevator music that just makes you stupid, Bollywood and Salsa should come with a bottle of Tylenol or an ether rag.

I like country music but am not a redneck (much). Oh and not this over produced auto tuned bro country din that is on the radio now. Anything pre Shania Twain is fine.

I prefer a fiddle over a violin. But there is room for both.

I am over classic rock but still turn the radio a little louder whenever an AC-DC song comes on.

I am a sucker for 70’s AM top 40 but pray that I never figure out what Elton John was referring to regarding “a piece of mamma daddy never got”.

I find Motown a little formulaic and repetitive.
Don’t get me wrong, it beautiful music but prefer the lesser known soul and R&B music from the 60’s and 70’s.

The blues? Can take or leave it.

I don’t like reggae. Excepting Bob Marley.

I don’t play sports or follow sports.  I can fake it for a few minutes but it becomes pretty obvious pretty quickly that I am just there for the party platter.

I like to cook but am not very good. I really just like to play with the kitchen gadgets.

I spend too much time (and money) at Home Depot.

I love to do yard work.

I like woodworking but mostly just have expensive sawdust to show for it.

I have been to all 50 US states, 63 countries (+/- depending on political turmoil) and 6 continents.

I was born and raised in Cleveland. Ohio.

I have no current or past wives. None in the hopper at this point either. (go figure).

No children and none in the hopper (that I know of).

I love pizza.

I have eaten bugs (on purpose) but I will not knowingly eat peas, mushrooms or raisins.

I am not a vegetarian but don’t think I could kill my own food.

I prefer beer and am not too proud to drink cheap beer.

I did not take advantage of legal pot when living in Washington and just forgot about it in Colorado. Never really liked it and my Marijuana Pizza experience in Cambodia pretty much put me off it

I like eating dinner outside under stringlights on a warm summer night.

I enjoy shopping. I just hate to buy stuff.

I don’t go to many movies. My point of reference for pop culture is the television. Except for Amazon prime, I don’t watch TV so my pop culture knowledge isn’t very pop.

Oh. Since we’re on the subject, Reality TV isnt. Like Smooth Jazz, it will only make you stupid. You’re time would be better spent watching Lawrence Welk reruns on PBS trying to figure out which of the backup dancers were gay.

I like long road trips.

I like camping but everyday is getting a bit tiresome.

I have no musical talent. I can’t even whistle.

I do not like to dance. I do not even like to stand and sway at concerts.

I honestly have no idea where this trip is going to end or even if I am going to turn left or right when I get to the next intersection.

That’s about it. So in a nutshell,
Per a hometown favorite Alex Bevan,
” I’m a skinny little boy from Cleveland Ohio. Come to chase your women and drink your beer”
