| Introduction | I'm an engineer, husband of a teacher, father of four, and now grandparent of two. I was raised in Massachusetts so I'm a big Boston sports fan (esp. 70's and 80's era - - Yaz, Lynn, O'Rielly, Park, Cowens, Bird, Grogan - - and of course Russ Francis since we share the same last name). But of course, I love the GOAT (Brady) and the whole 2004 Sox team. The other Goat I love came from Pontiac, but I don't own one. I enjoy working on my '66 Mustang project car and driving my '19 Mustang GT as fast as the law will allow (or not notice). I've lived in Virginia since 2010 and am starting to suffer from North/South schizophrenia! I love crosswords but worry that interest in them is starting to EBB with the younger generations. Perhaps a discussion point for the blog! |
| Interests | Sports, poetry, science fiction, history, music, fast cars, (not so fast) old cars, philosophy. |
| Favorite movies | Star Wars saga, Dead Poets Society, The Perfect Storm, Braveheart, Good Will Hunting, National Treasure, Sherlock Holmes (new one with Downey), The Commitments, Point Break, not much before 1970 which makes crosswords extra challenging, never even seen Casablanca or Gone With The Wind! |
| Favorite music | EVERYTHING except rap, metal, and EMO (another CW fav), but particularly classic rock, prog rock, new wave, and Christian Rock like Third Day, and the Moody Blues obviously if you catch my avatar. |
| Favorite books | Pillars of the Earth (Follett), Century Trilogy (Follett), Cat's Cradle (Vonnegut), Siddhartha (Hesse), Ireland (Delaney), all things Tolkein, Asimov, and George RR Martin. |
