I'm in the middle of writing a third cookbook for divorced men...however, I'm still searching for a publisher for the first two! But since my kids got me hooked on GameCube, I haven't been working on the books much... I'm also an avid model railroad buff and an amateur herpetologist. My sons and I are also rock, gem and mineral collectors (rock hounds). My personal motto is from the late great comedian Red Skelton: "If perchance someday you're not feeling well, and some silly thing I've said or done brings a smile to your face and a chuckle to your heart, then my purpose is fulfilled."

Music
It's official: I'm a Music Junkie!! Everything from classical to jazz, country to rock, I love it all! (except rap...I'm an old Iowa farm boy and we just don't get it!)
Movies
Being part Scottish, my favorite movie of all time is Braveheart, followed closely by Jason and the Argonauts (or anything by Ray Harryhausen). I'm a big fan of Jim Henson's work, such as Labyrinth, the Dark Crystal and the Storyteller series. Casablanca is also a favorite...Bogey at his best! And I'll never say no to a classic John Wayne flick...
Television
Because of my schedule I don't watch a lot of television. But I love the PBS show "Tracks Ahead" about model railroading, and "The Red Green Show" out of Canada. Funny stuff!! Why can't OPB carry these shows?? I try to catch "House" whenever possible.
Books
The Devotional Bible for Dads. There's something for everyone in that book! J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis are high on my preferred reading list. I'm also re-reading the MYTH series of fantasy/humor by Robert Asprin. Hilarious!! And you can always find the latest edition of Model Railroader magazine near my reading chair...
Heroes
My dad. He came from a broken family, only child, lived on a farm with an uncle, aunt and a couple of cousins. Worked his way through school, then World War II, then became one of the most respected educators in the nation. He passed away in 1996, but hung around long enough to meet his grandson (my oldest son).

I have two sons from my first marriage and my wife (LadyHawk) has a daughter of her own. Together we make a very nice family. Been sober for nearly 16 years, by my own choice, after spending many years pickled in a bottle of whatever was available. I am also a Christian and not afraid nor ashamed to show my faith.
It's always nice to hear from KUPL listeners! And I enjoy hearing new music from independent and unsigned artists... in any format! And anyone who would like to swap recipes...bring it on!! I wish I could have met Jim Henson, the creator of the Muppets. His Swedish Chef character is a laugh riot!!
Thanks for being our friend. We'd love to hear your input on our new album, so check out the songwriting samples and let us know what you think! www. highvalley. ca
