My interest vary. I do enjoy animals. And they, so it seems, really like me. All the critters couldn't get enough of me during my short career as an alligator wrestler. I readily fell for sky-diving, hang gliding, and bunjie-jumping. I can get into American history, folklore, stamp collecting (both U.S. and world-wide), ales and lagers, minor league baseball, all aspects of the Swedish Bikini Team, and drinking hot coffee and reading the funny papers in the mornings. Whenever I get a chance, I do like to go geocaching.
