May you always have a cold beer on a hot day, a full moon on a dark night, may all your travels be down hill and may you be in Heaven three days before the Devil knows you're dead.

A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read. Mark Twain

MoviesNever saw a John Wayne movie I didn't love, and I think I have them all.

Morgan Freeman is the best Actor living, BAR NONE.

TVIf it's not sports, it's not worth watching, unless it stars John Wayne or Morgan Freeman.

MusicI like most music, Loreena McKennitt is the Best of the best. Celtic music rules, Hardrock drools.

BooksLiving vicariously through books is the best form of entertainment. Give me a good Mystery and the rainy days just dissolve away.

Places I have livedNo matter where you are in this world, there you are.

SchoolsBy three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest. Confucius

About meI am 70, my wife and I have been married for 47 years. Three great children and four great Grandkids, three Granddaughters and one Grandson.

I shot Bullseye matches for about 20 years here in Washington, but have given that up, I was not able to shoot the 2700s anymore. I quit because of elbow problems. Locking the elbow and shooting the 45 in practice and at matches for so many years, my elbow said "NO MORE". I was a NRA Indoor Master, Outdoor just an Expert. I was also a NRA Certified Pistol Instructor, until I let everthing go. After a ten years absents from the range I bought a Baikal IZH 46M and now shoot air pistol matches. Actually it has been several years since I shot my Air Pistol, so I am just trying to get back into the swing of it.

I am a Ham Operator, KA7LHE is my call. When I get on my radio I use code or PSK31. I shoot Trap in a lot of PITA (Pacific International Trapshooting Association) matches in the area and practice at Kenmore Gun Range. I'm an artist and woodcarver. I like the Sounder FC, Seahawks and the Seattle Storm.

The Avatar is my best target at my first shoulder to shoulder 10 meter match in a very long time. I scored 501/600, not bad, for an old geezer.
