Introduction	Hello! Glad you could join me on this journey. I originally hail from the small West Texas town of Lamesa. I graduated from Howard Payne University in 1973 with a degree in Music Education. Upon graduation, I really did not feel the urge to be a band director, so I succumbed to my childhood dream of flying and joined the USAF. Some 28 years later I retired at the rank of Lt Col. I retired from the Air Force in 2001 and worked for two years as contract instructor teaching military strategy, then worked as a real estate broker in the Fort Walton Beach Florida area. My wife’s name is Nelda. I have four children (two daughters and two step sons), and two grandchildren (ages two and seven).
Interests	My family, Philosophy, Golf, Motorcycles (in no particular order)
Favorite Movies	Tossup between the Matrix series and the Trilogy series. The former because it is analogous to the ego/id, and the latter because the director was so true to the books in his re-creation on film, plus, I enjoyed the "good triumps over evil" theme.
Favorite Music	Anything except rap, and I'm not too crazy about R&B.
Favorite Books	About anything which stimulates thought. Joseph Campbell comes to mind; others include ones by Deepock Chopra, whom I admire, though I've only read a couple of his books. I'll put others in as I recall them.
