| Introduction | I love kids, 60's muscle cars, old movies & big brown eyed, dark haired Jewish & Italian girls - with great Liv Tyler smiles. I’m at my best around animals, fishing, streams & lakes. A perfect day for me: the lake, my Border Collie & German Shepherd next to me, a poll in the water, a cup of coffee, some Stanley Turrentine or Donald Fagen on my iPod, & the fish are biting. Growing up, Hopalong Cassidy & Gary Cooper were my "hero’s." I don't have heros anymore. Favorite TV shows: 24 & The Dog Whisperer. Best place to live: log cabin in the mountains of TN. I could watch thoroughbreds race from dawn to dusk and never blink. There are times when only a Paul Simon song can heal my soul. The highest I’ve ever been: when the "Miricle Mets" of ‘69 took it all. Steve McQueen is my fav. actor; I've seen "Love With The Proper Stranger" 57,000 times. Best song ever: "All By Myself" especially Stanley Turrentine’s version. Best city I ever lived in: Village in NY in the 60’s. When Streisand sings "Happy Days Are Here Again" - I never fail to get goose bumps. Using 1,200 characters or less, that about covers it. :-) |
