Bumpin' Jack Flash 's Interests
General
I go to alot of rock concerts, and also like to play my own acoustic/electric guitars. I really enjoy being outdoors and working in my yard and landscaping. Photography is a favorite hobby (see my pics area). I enjoy sharing a bottle of wine and making homemade pizza with friends. I love the Fort Wayne Roller Derby Girls!
Apocolypse Now, The Godfather movies, Soylent Green, Das Boot, The Hunt For Red October, Stealing Beauty (arguably one of Liv Tyler's best films), Jersey Girl, The Eiger Sanction, Silent Running, Touching The Void, Out of Africa, Caddyshack, Woodstock, James Bond movies.
Television
PBS: Ken Burns - "The War", Mystery, and The American Experience. Fox: 24. CBS: CSI. Little Bill (cartoon)
Other favorites that would only be on one of the hundreds of cable channels I don't have: The Monkeys, The Banana Splits and Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea (w/ Richard Basehart).
Books
Ayn Rand novels - Anthem, The Fountainhead, and We The Living are my favorites. James Herriot stories (All Creatures Great And Small, etc.), Robert Parker's detective novels, Dick Frances novels, and The Bible (I have a cool study version that was presented as a gift from the Puma Place Bible Study - Fort Collins, CO).

I've often been described as being "multi-faceted". As a Gemini, I have both a good twin and a bad twin personality - but try to be good as much as possible! I've lived in many places across the US (was born and raised in Geauga County, OH), and probably should write a book about all the cool people I've met. I'm a summa cum laude graduate of Colorado State University (1986), with an educational background in both psychology and plant science. I worked briefly for the US Department of Agriculture and assisted in the development of a specialized plant breeding technology while at Colorado State. My research leader on that project is now one of the top scientists for the NASA Space Shuttle - see what I mean about cool friends! I also worked for the Boy Scouts of America for nearly 17 years - and decided to "retire" early in 2003 (BSA pension doesn't begin until 2026 however). I like to travel and hike challenging trails (state highpoints are a favorite destination) - gave up rock climbing and mountaineering some years ago (gravity and a weakness for cookies are a dangerous combination), but still enjoy reading about these outdoor sports. I try to fill my life with new experiences and look at each new day with a positive outlook. I own my own home (paid off that pesky mortgage in 2005) - now I'm saving for that remote pacific island (Fiji?) that I've had my eye on! I'm still looking for the "love of my life" - at this point, no reasonable offer will be refused! Ha! Cheers to one and all! The Ramones - Rock n' Roll High School
