Favorite Quote

Famous or interesting people you've met?

There is always me; I'm not Famous or Infamous, but very interesting stuff goes on in my mind.

Ever been on TV? Tell us all about it.

Yeah, not the most flattering shot, being it was from the knees down.

What do you like to do in your spare time?

Reading, from this side of 60 has to take first place. Being retired, I thought I would be happy just hanging out and reading. that was, after all, all I wanted to do all through my working life. I was very suprised at how quickly I caught up on my reading. I'm not in great health, but I began castion around for something productive to do. I tried to teach myself to knit. I quickly learned, I was either a bad student, or a poor teacher. wit the advent of DTV my local PBS station added he Create Channel as their .2 channel. A program called Knit & Crochet Today caught my attention. This time I chumped off and paid for a lesson. To me crochet consisted of those starched white doilies on every scratchy wool sofa I had to sit and behave on as a kid. Yeah there was a time in America when children were required to hae manners
I learned crochet can do just about anything knitting can do, but faster.It may be a bit incongruous, to see a 60 year old man who looks like a member of ZZTOP, as I do, sitting there with a crochet hook and yarn in hand. I am a totally “out of the closet” crocheter, and no, before you ask, I’ll tell you, no one has so much as raised an eyebrow. Crocheting does some very positive things for me; it lowers my blood pressure, puts me into a Zen-like state, and it enables me to create gifts for people in my life, who, for reasons of economy, would go gift-less.
I suppose a possible reason for the lack a disparaging word about my crocheting in public could be, I have also had my visage described as an angry Zeus.

Name something you dearly love. and why?
