OK...Here goes. Geez I hate this part.

I love to be outside doing whatever whether it's work or play. I loath cold weather. I listen to almost all genres of music with the exception of "twangy" country. Country singers can't seem to hang onto their dogs, girlfriends or their tractors. I lose enough stuff on my own without any musical assistance. I love to travel, (who doesn't) and some of the best vacations are the ones where you hop in the car and go. No destination, no plan, just go. I lived in Hawaii for about 2 years. Sorry but they can keep it. It's over-rated and expensive, especially if you want to travel FROM Hawaii. I've traveled to Fiji, New Zealand, Russia, Austria and of course Mexico. I am not one to hang at the resorts when I travel. I much prefer to venture off the "beaten path" and discover. You can't judge a country by it's resorts...they're all nice. Well..OK..there is this place in Mexico. Never mind. ;-) Costa Rica and Venice are next on the list of gotta see places. The one picture was taken in Fiji. The other photo was on the ferry to the south island in New Zealand.
I love to cook although it is far more fun to cook with and for someone.
Optomist? Sometimes.
Pessimist? Sometimes.
Sorry but to me the "Glass half full or half empty?" is BS.
Rather I believe it depends on whether I'm drinkin' or pourin'. Either way the glass is at 50% capacity.
Have fun and good luck in your searches.
