Favorite Beverage and Consumption Freq: | Beer, ice cold, not too often, but probably not often enough. | |||||||
Political Philosophy: | Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas. Avoid extremist wingnuts. Rerum Novarum. Nothing will significantly change without serious campaign finance reform. SCOTUS ruling on Citizens United is repugnant. Laudato Si'. |
|||||||
Religious Philosophy: | Catholic, but I welcome any person of good will. Even Methodists and the Amish. "Who am I to judge?" |
|||||||
Musical Favorites: | All over the map. From Sinatra to some of the stuff that my daughter listens to. Top of the list is Gordon Lightfoot, with no doubt. I sing and play most of his stuff on my guitar (a Martin I bought in the mid 70's). I was raised on the Kingston Trio. | |||||||

Miscellaneous Data: | Retired Pittsburgh Fire Department Captain - 27 years, 7 months. Fire Support Base Buttons, Phuoc Vinh, Xuan Loc, Bien Hoa 1969-70. USAF Forward Air Control Crew Chief on O-1E Bird Dog. Obviously, Ara was my hero. At one time I could name the starting lineups for all eight of the 1960 National League teams, including starting pitchers. After the Nebraska game in 2000, I prayed over Knute's grave to send us a good coach. We got Ty. Nice to see that the Rock still has a sense of humor. |
