About me:
I don't much care about MySpace because 99 percent of the people here bore me to death. I only have an account here because I like to keep tabs on my grownup sons' stuff.
That said, I've been trying to retire since October, 2000, but interesting work keeps getting in the way. I quit/took early retirement from a Gannett newspaper after I'd seen enough of their management-by-fear style and after my mother handed me a golden parachute.

Living: Pete Townshend, Chuck Yeager, G. Gordon Liddy, Bettie Page, Osama bin Laden (to transfer him to the next category), Dick Winters (Band of Brothers)

Robert Oppenheimer, Timothy Leary, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Harry S. Truman, Orson Welles, Keith Moon, Albert Einstein, Hoagy Carmichael, Teddy Roosevelt, Robert E.
