Does sitting on your ass twisting the throttle constitute "activity" ???
I hit the gym a couple of times a week...it's NOT my life though.

Me and the better half are trying to get into photography as sort of a hobby.

Favorite Books:
Right now I'm switching between J.D. Rodd ( Nora Roberts ), Tess Gerritsen and James Patterson. I liked Stephen Kings "early" books, I thought the "Gunslinger" series was awesome...but the last 2 or 3 of his I've tried has really SUCKED OUT LOUD.
Also like...Dean Koontz, Sue Grafton and some Tom Clancy.

About Me:
I was born in eastern Kentucky a half century ago, when I was 12 we would relocate to central North Carolina and this is where I would spend the next 35 years.
I have three children and nine grandchildren, all of which is still in NC...I travel back as often as I can.
I was married for 22 years, before losing my wife to complications following a liver transplant...she would take a big part of me with her.
My second marriage is soon to be in its sixth year. My second wife is what would bring me to the "great southwest".
I believe in helping anyone out that is down on their luck, however for those that choose being "down on their luck" as a career option I don't mind expressing my opinion to those individuals either.
