About
I was born in Limbo... ahem... southeast Virginia. As Eddie Izzard said about Europe, Virginia is "where the history comes from." I also managed to squeeze my way into the seventies. I've lived in New Jersey, Pennsylvania (Philly), and recently I moved to SWFL. And now I'm back in VA again...

If I do it's usually the Travel or History channels.

Interests
Number one by far is producing & directing films (or a good television series)... Oddly enough though I don't watch them or am as knowledgeable about film history as most others who make them. But the creativity has to go somewhere, and while I play around a bit with music it doesn't give me what I need.
