| Introduction | A happily married dad. Two kids, one of each, both perfect. I have the best mom, had the best dad, and have a great family. I have friends from all through my life: Varied, its a wide array of friends that have one commonality: a good heart. I'm happy, I think. Healthy, I hope. Born and raised in the Boston MA area, I'm pretty sure I'll die here too. Hopefully though, not for a LONG time. Likes politics, history, and current events. Opinions and editorials about big and small events. Not just 'what' is happening, but 'why'. Lively debate and the discussions revolving around 'solving' world issues exercise the brain, ya know? |

Jeez ... I could go on and on. Suffice to say, a full 20G iPod and a newer 60G almost full already. Plus 1500 CDs, 600 cassettes, 700 albums... and very few duplicates among them. I like music. |

Please come up with a more appropriate name for the ringtoe:
The 'HEY! Answer-me-NOW-I'm-so-cool-and-an-individual-that-I-have-an-annoying-tinny-song'? Nah, that's too long, right? I'll stick with TinnyTone. I hate phones. Damn electronic leashes. :-)
