Hello! Thank you for reading my profile. I describe myself as a regular guy. I feel fortunate to have traveled extensively and experience many cultures. I began life quite poor, youngest of six, only boy, single parent (Mom) and grew up in a ghetto where I was the wrong color. I don't think I would wish much of my early life on anybody but I feel like it taught me things you can't learn in school. These days I enjoy life in the center of the universe, that would be Northern California to the rest of you. I like this forum because it gives everyone a place to speak their mind(s). I like that people have a different point of view on every subject. I love it when someone is confident enough to have a real discussion about something without worrying what someone else might think of them. Say what you feel, feel what you say it's ok. If I don't agree, so what! Everyone has a voice. They may not have your education or ability to opine with elegance, but they have a voice. It's important to listen.
Things I like: Good food, laughing, cooking for friends and family, golf, kids, travel, big red wines, cocktails on the beach, music,,,good music, aromas from wood fired ovens, photography and a bunch of other stuf too. To all Sodaheads, I hope to meet you someday.
