who the hell am i?

 
 

There are many loves in my life: my son, wife,truck, music, my dogs, family (even my brother), technology, sunshine, Apple stuff, the Linux Penguin...

 

There are many dislikes, too: violence, people who don't mind their own business, bad drivers, drunks, druggies, sunshine, MS windows...


Being a dad.

It’s not an easy job, there was no instruction manual on how to raise your kid. I know I made a lot of mistakes along the way, I just hope the good stuff outweighed the bad. I know I wasn’t perfect, not even close, but I always loved my son more than anything & I still do. I hope that was enough. Now that he is almost a man I think maybe it was. I hope he forgives me for all of the stupid things I did along the way. I also hope he learned something from me & uses that knowledge to better his life. I think I’ll I make a good grandpa, it’s supposed to be easier...


I am now an ordained minister, but I won’t get preachy on you.
