About Me
Husband and father. One of the good guys. I will listen to any story. Lie to me, and you are history. My age is sometimes a problem. Yours, not mine. If you are a groomer, take your chances. I am not a stupid man. Five adult children, 4 Grandchildren. Twice married. Long distance cyclist. Gun owner, Former Marine, viet vet. oooooRUH! One son in Afghanistan. For a time, I left off the fact that I am heavily involved with Ur Not Alone teen support group. For those who question a man my age having such involvement, May I direct you to the Group Founder, TwilightAngel. Or, if you are so inclined, put something up in the main board. Do not expect me to reply, as I have work to do, and answering allegations is not part of it. Thank you for your kind cionsideration.
Interests
Truth, Justice, and The American Way, circa 1955. This Ain't America any more, but might be again. I help teens in Ur Not Alone support group. Take problems with that to my boss, TwilightAngel. Be careful, though. I am a pussycat compared to her.
