Heroes -- the season is too short! What's up with that?; Charmed!; Star Trek -- are they really going to do a remake of the Menagerie Episode (boring!); Battlestar Gallactica, -- whenever Sci Fi Channel can figure out what to do with it! And lots of political stuff on C-Span -- that would bore most mortals. Al Gore rocks! Hey, this list can't be complete without 30 Minute Meals! Rachel Ray, forever! Keep cooking it up girl! Yeah, I know; she doesn't have red hair -- but what can I say, I'm single and sick of it! Nough said!

Books
BOOKS Too numerous to mention; however, here are my all-time top ten favorite books (this excludes the Bible which stands alone). To be my favorite, of course, I must have read them multiple times and still use them as guidance in my life journey in some way, or enjoy that elusive pleasure of continuing to read them from time to time: Magister Ludi, by Herman Hesse; Lincoln's Cabinet (The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln), by Joyce Kerns Goodwin; Illearth War, by Stephen R. Donaldson; It, by Stephen King; Miracles, by C.S.Lewis; Knots, by R.D. Lang; Fellowship of the Ring, by J.R.R.Tolkien; First Apology, by Justin Martyr; The Twelve Caesars, by Suetonius; The Secret Histories, by Procopius. And I just finished reading these interesting works, "Devil In The White City," "Driven by Eternity," and "A Purpose Driven Life." Look out for my recently completed suspense novel, "Tomb." It will keep you anxiously turning the pages! I've picked up a new Book called: "Black" a kind of Christian Fantasy about the end times, so far, good read.

Heroes
HEROS Lincoln, Senator Charles Sumner, John Quincy Adams, General Grant, are my political heroes; Stephen R. Donaldson for writing The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant! I mean the first six books not that later stuff! Classic. Go buy it. Read it. Do it now! How could I forget Grandma? Theresa Adonia Roberts -- May her memory be eternal!

To bless our Troops and all our future armed forces; let's support and pass the proposed 28th Amendment to the Constitution reaffirming Congress' sole power to Declare War. This is the great blessing we can bestow: Jesus said: "Blessed are the Peacemakers." I am honored to be the founder of Americans For The War Powers Amendment (AFAW). Join me and become a member of AFAW. Ask me about it!

About me: ________________________________________________
I have three college degrees (BA, MAT, and JD -- so what, it's crap!); I'm a Greek Orthodox Christian, but certainly not Greek (long story)! I speak three languages; I have two daughters from previous 22 year marriage which ended in divorce ... Hmmmmm.... I can't get enough of "Heroes." Yay! It's coming back in the fall 08! I love to play tennis -- and definitely need tennis partners. I like to stay in shape and work out. I love to write. I love dancing, music, people, cultures, travels, just plain fun! I definitely don't act my age (I mean that in a positive, mature sense)! LOL! And, I'm not jaded! I still have a driving vision for my life -- and to this very hour, I am fighting for it with all my life-scars; I'm romantic, and I live my feelings -- that can be a horror show! I'm intuitive and spontaneous. I have my glaring weaknesses; however, challenge me on an intellectual or political level and you'll have your hands full. The Art of Politics is my heart. It's my gift from the universe, and I will use it come what may. Now, I'm looking forward to the 2010 elections (yeah .. I know 2008 comes first and I'm bummed about not being on the ballot this time)and deciding which Elective Office I'll run for. I'm a cool and fun guy. Really. Trust me! Smiles. :)

I thought I'd start a graphic of the day section that reflects my feelings. Sunday, July 6, 2008: I feel so awesome today. I mean, it's like I've been renewed. Beauty has once again struck my heart. And I see the bright glows of hope in future achievement and finding true love. Now almost three years from my official divorce, and I feel like a new man each time I pass a new test of courage. I am Da-Bomb! Give me the Challenge!
