I think I'm much more spontaneous than a carefully prepared personal summary could ever describe, but then again this is probably more of a tribute to myself or the world's greatest profile. Yes that's a gratuitous reference but seriously, you decide, I'm really just following my instincts here. Truth be told I enjoy marveling at the many wonders that grace my life in sometimes unexpected ways. That includes taking any opportunity I can get to enjoy the outdoors in any season, whether it's a trip to the beach on a sunny day, hiking in the woods in the fall foliage, or a fast ride down the slopes of the largest snow-covered mountain I can find. That last one I enjoy with skis and it's one of my two great passions. The other is playing music on guitar which I have enjoyed for as long as I can remember. Other than that I think I'm fairly laid back and enjoy the time that I have with the people I have to enjoy to enjoy it with. Should that group of people increase by one, even when I least expect it, well, that would be fantastic.

I'm a database administrator.

It varies, many times important past and future events, from my point of view of course. I tend to think visually usually in wide screen format.

It seems that what I do most Friday nights is atypical from one week to the next surprisingly enough. I really like weekend road trips and will go on a moments notice to Boston, Cape Cod (a Summer spot), NYC, New Hampshire Seacoast (Hampton Beach, another Summer spot), or virtually anywhere within driving distance to go skiing. If I'm not traveling I like playing music with friends, going to the occasional concert, or going out for dinner and drinks especially if it involves new restaurants and/or new beers.

I cook with whiskey. No really, it actually goes in the food.

There's absolutely no way you can't.
