**Random thoughts. I saw the sonic scrubber on TV this morning and wonder if it would remove the grout stain I have in the living room. Still not sure how that stain even got there. Saw the movie Avater. Excellent effects. Merry Christmas. **

I've traveled the world and truly feel that I'm lucky to have experienced the various countries and their cultures. During my time in the Air Force I've traveled to numerous countries to include Korea, Japan, Azores, UK, Germany, Austria, Italy, Canada, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia. I've also been to just about every state in the US to include Alaska and Hawaii. During my military time I had two jobs; arctic survival instructor and network engineer. Being an Arctic survival instructor in Alaska was a great experience. I've seen it as cold as 77 below zero in still air and 110 below zero with wind chill. Burrrrrrrr. Alaska is the most majestic place I've ever been but my most favorite place is Germany.

I entered the Air Force at 17 and retired at 37. I still work for the Department of Defense as a Civilian employee responsible for a telecommunications site in Qatar and network services for an organization at MacDill. I'm a very motivated person and continually strive to improve myself. I view obstacles as a challenge and find ways to over come them. I believe education is extremely important and continue to improve myself through school, self teachings, exercise and spirituality.

I enjoy hiking, jet skiing, exercising, traveling and getting out with friends and family. I do work hard so I find time to express my self through more creative means such as adding a new patio and screened enclosure on to my home. Wish me luck.

In talking with people from this site I have to ask, what happened to chivalry? What happened to a man opening the door for a lady, pulling out her chair and treating a lady like a lady?

The picture above is me with my Aunt who passed away from lung cancer. She did so much for me when I was growing up; her memory will always be with me.
