I have 4 children of my own and I'm very close to my ex-wife's son. Giving to them, as their father (or father figure) brings me immeasurable joy. I'm not saying that can't make me a little crazy. Of course, I might have started out a little crazy.

In NY for 1 year. NY may not have the best climates of all the places that I've lived, but it beats the heck out of Cleveland. Raising my children.

being a dad.
fixing stuff (people & inanimate objects).
making corny jokes.
ranting, a little.

That I'm an outlier, especially in NYC.

Books: Man's Search for Meaning, Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus, The Name of the Rose, anything of Palahniuk's, but I really liked Survivor.

Movies: Shawshank and World According to Garp, and I'm not too ashamed to admit that I went to the Rocky Horror Picture Show 27 times back in the day.

Music: Alternative, classic rock, some metal, some classical, and some country.

my kids (Does that count for 4 "things"?)
our country
my job
ideas
books
air
food
water
light

all the things that I can't live without. Well, I don't spend that much time thinking about air, food, water and light, though I'm thankful for them.

Hanging out with the kids or having a meal with old or new friends. Or on a date.

I use a tanning bed. It's the vitamin :-D.

I know that TEA in TEA Party stands for Taxed Enough Already! Apparently, that's a big secret 'round here.

something I wrote caught your eye, and it didn't hurt too much.

You should NOT send me a message if you think others are subject to Dunning-Kruger, but you are not.
