My wife above all, daughters, son, my Mom and late Dad (RIP, Pop), my sister, Kurt Kolstad, the late Adrian Garcia, everyone in the Santa Fe band...
關於我: Primus inter paresSanta Fe and The Fat City Horns fan (these cats are unreal, click the band name or blog link above), writer, songwriter, bookworm, statistician, SAS programmer, teacher, perpetual student, musician (tryin' to un-retire), photographer, skier, loyal husband, father, grandfather, friend.
MORE ABOUT ME: 63 years old goin' on 18. Still tryin' to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. Hyper-aggressive-on-"D" 2 guard with a season pass to the Bone & Joint Institute and the MRI machine at Steinberg Diagnostic for my endless orthopedic hoops injuries (Mr. No-Hops, a.k.a. "old school" -- 'just don't bring that weak shit into my house' LOL!). My regular bball bud is the esteemed jazz pianist and great friend Ronnie Foster (see him in my MySpace friends list). I tell these young Iverson wannabees at 24 Hour Fitness, 'dude, I may be 63, but I warn ya, I got the moves and reflexes of a 50 yr old...' (right before they blow right past my Wax Museum defense).
UPDATE: I've started podcasting for Santa Fe. Check it out.
