About me

About me? Well, I work a lot, as a sportswriter, and usually during the best hours for most people's activities. Thus, my activities include football, basketball, baseball/softball, volleyball and soccer games ... mostly of the high school variety. I also get to a good bit of college athletics and some pro stuff ... mostly the NFL's Panthers. When I'm not working, I'll either indulge in this world or escape from it. My indulgences include going to parties with my friends (yes, I'm usually the oldest one there) or simply grabbing a stool at one of my usual drinking spots. To escape from the world, I enjoy losing myself in fiction -- reading or movies. I like almost any kind of movie ... as long as it's well made, I'll probably watch it. When it comes to books, I'm a little more selective. I like great stories with multi-dimensional characters. Often, I like to read an author who writes several, often unrelated, books about a single character(s). An example of this is John Sandford's Kidd novels. I'll also pick up a trilogy, or something of the like, from time to time. Though, when I do, I absolutely HAVE to make sure I get them all at once. One of my biggest fears, in this situation, is finishing the first two books of a trilogy and not being able to find the third ... and having to wait for a slow delivery or special order or something of the sort. I also really enjoy eating with close friends. Eating out or cooking in, it doesn't really matter to me. I do a killer curry chicken, but most of my best creations don't even have names ... they're just personal creations. I don't think I've ever had a dissatisfied “customer” ... though, I've thrown a few dishes out myself. They just weren't fit for friends. Of course, a bottle (or three) of wine accompanies each meal. I try to keep a stocked collection, but it's hard to keep more than a few bottle in stock. Other than that, all that eating and drinking forces me to the gym several times a week. I'm a former athlete, though, and probably the main reason I work out is to still have something involving activity to worry about. That, and I enjoy looking and feeling good.
Damn, who knew all my time could be reduced to a paragraph? There's not much more to know, I guess ... just more detail.

So, for that, you'll have to ask.
