| Introduction | "I am evil incarnate, according to the new modern left: a conservative Protestant white male from the Lone Star State. I am 'near' 45 (with a margin of error of + or - 5 years) but aging like an overripe melon in the hot summer Texas Hill Country sun." |
| Interests | Hotrod Pontiacs, Handgunning (tactical & self defense), Politics, College & Pro Football, Law Enforcment Training & Tactical Issues, Hollywood Film (mostly classic), Army Air Force History, WWII Aircraft, '80's Music Film & TV, Big Band & Swing, Classic Rock, Scotch Whiskey, Comic Strip Art & Writing & Whatever Irrelevant and Random Thought Provokes My Interest.... |
| Favorite Movies | Oooh...tough one. "Blade Runner"(1982) has to be my all time #1, but I love most Film Noir, like "Too Late for Tears" (1949), "Double Indemnity" (1944), "The Stranger" (1946), "Detour" (1946). However, Michael Mann rocks, too. |
| Favorite Music | Hail! Hail! Rock and Roll! The Rolling Stones, of course. I gravitate mostly to the '69-'74 albums, but I don't think the criticism of the later albums is fair. I actually like some of the 1980's stuff, and the last LP "Bigger Bang" was killer! |
| Favorite Books | #1 has to be "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee. I'm fond of a great book I read when I was a kid, "A Wrinkle in Time" by Madeleine L'Engle. I still read Doyle's 'Sherlock Holmes' stories on a regular basis, too, along with some Tom Clancey mixed in. |
