| Introduction | The "Interests," "Favorite Movies," "Favorite Music" and "Favorite Books" segments of my profile would provide Sherlock Holmes (my favorite sleuth of all time!) with enough clues to enable him to describe me to a "t" and, more, he'd then proceed to pinpoint precisely "what" makes my world go round! Hey, have some fun! YOU have at it! |
| Interests | Oh, boy! God's been too lavish with His blessings! My children/family are of course - HUGE! Esther (you, too, Grace!), my six string and electric bass guitars, my cameras (lots of these; love em all!), Fishing (though I rarely wet the line these days), Baseball (Man - I love the game!), Autumn, reading, writing, calligraphy, cooking, making memories. |

Corelli's Mandolin, Chocolat, Last Of The Mohicans, The Man From Snowy River, Return To Snowy River, Anne of Green Gables, Anne of Avonlea, Mr. Holland's Opus, The Illusionist, The Horse Whisperer, Message In A Bottle, Bridges Of Madison County, The War Of The Roses, The Natural, For Love Of The Game, Field Of Dreams, Sabrina, The Man In The Moon, Gladiator, Far And Away, Onegin, A Beautiful Mind, A League Of Their Own, V For Vendetta, The Rocketeer, Superman, Batman (1), Rob Roy, Band Of Brothers, John Adams, Shawhank Redemption, Legends of The Fall, Pride & Prejudice (original version), Tortilla Soup, Spanglish, The Family Man, Lord of The Rings (Trilogy), Rocky 1, I Am Sam, Bedazzled, A Walk In The Clouds, A Few Good Men, Amadeus, Immortal Beloved, Les Miserables, Mr. Holland's Opus, Wrestling Ernest Hemingway, The Adventures of Captain Marvel ... and one or two others. (What, no interest in my favorite TV shows?) |
| Favorite Music | Soft Rock (BEE GEES! Oh, yes, the Brothers Gibb most assuredly were the Troubadours of Soft Rock long before their disco label became their albatross), Classic Country (not to be confused with today's Pop Country, puh-lease!), Fifties, Sixties, CLASSICAL music, Christian/Gospel, Irish/Celtic music. |

In addition to the unbridled joy comic books brought to my life, these also served to teach me to draw! |
Why does the color blue mean raspberry-flavored?
Sorry ... NOT into riddles! (Look where it got Samson!!!)
