| Top of the Rock in New York City |
Welcome to my first web site!
Although
I was born in the Bronx and Manhattan was my romping ground, I have resided in Albany for many years. Still, I miss the city
and find I need to return once in awhile for a shot of the city life. This picture, taken at the top of the Rockefellow Plaza
Building, was a first since the rooftop has been closed for many years. It just opened in 2005. It provides a unique view
of Manhattan and the only skyscrapper view available of Central Park without paying an enormous amount for a hotel room
or an apartment.
I hope you enjoy what I have to share. I love
to travel and have been to many interesting places. Just recently, not exactly willingly, I went to Iraq. Although I could
share many pictures of places I have been, such as New Zealand, Mexico, Greenland, Canada, the Carribean, and Egypt, pictures
from these locations are not rare. What I can share with you are pictures from Iraq you are not likely to find so easily anywhere
else. Not pictures of Iraqi citizens, or soldiers, or insurgents, or the impoverished, war-torn land, but seldom seen pictures
of Sadaam's Palatial Grounds. I was fortunate enough to be stationed in that area during my deployment. I will also share
some of my professional experience, educational goals, and some advanced techniques in Excel you might find useful.

Happy Browsing!!

Some of My Favorite Things

Although I do love the Sound of Music, I
prefer old classic movies, soft rock, reading, horses, science fiction in general and anything Star Trek in particular. I
love to camp, go white water canoeing, travel anywhere, ski, garden, and creative hobbies. I am interested in astronomy and
science in general. I love roller coasters, and once told my son I hope to set the world's record for being the oldest person
to ride a roller coaster - which would require I live a lot longer! I love adventure, and would jump at the chance to
be on the Amazing Race just to partake in the awsome things they do.
While I was on a wilderness canoe trip
in Canada, I heard an incredible and unforgetable sound - the call of a loon. Found only in remote areas, the loon
is not a very remarkable bird, except for its call, which can be heard for miles over the lake waters it inhabits. It is a haunting
sound, and an unmistable call of the wild. If you would like to hear it, just click on the player control above.
I hope you find it as enchanting as I did.
Finally, I am owned by 4 beautiful Italian
Greyhounds (they are the toy version of the racing ones) and 4 wonderful cats. Married for 30 years, my 22 year old son has
just finished training with the Marines and has started college to study nanotechnology. A long way from the kid with bright
green hair who went to high school a few years ago.
I hope you enjoy looking around
here, and if you would like to contact me to share your interests, you will find a link for email on the Contact Me/Guestbook
page. You will also find an envelope on that page if you would like to tell someone to visit my site. And Thanks!

I love to travel and when I do I try and find unique and adventurous
things to do. The Florida Manatee is an endangered species and fully protected. There are only 2 places in the entire world
in which you can interact with these big, slow, gentle, wonderful creatures, and that is in Florida. Their closest living
relative is, amazingly, the elephant. They are very friendly, seeking to have their backs and tummies rubbed. It helps them
get rid of the algae that grows on their skin. And when they have had enough company they glide over to their protected sanctuary
areas to rest undesturbed.

animals. The file is 37.6MB, so if you have a slow connection it will take some time to download.
