    Winker's Interests
General
MusicLiving in Austin, TX lets me enjoy just about all kinds of live music and I try and take advantage of it every night!

While pondering the meaning of life and death, I realized how much I love this song by Danny and I remembered it was out on his myspace page, so I grabbed it for my myspace. I hope you like it, too. I also hope you'll link over to his myspace, I know you'll enjoy his music. I think he's one of the most talented singer/songwriters in Austin.

About me:
I was just looking at my profile and realized how out of date it was and seeing how I had some time on my hands that I should update it. You might ask why I have time on my hands, and I'd have to tell you that it's because I got selected for my company's resource action. That's the politically correct way of saying I was canned along with another 1200 folks. I've been out of work since the end of Feb. 2009 and am not sure what I'm gonna do now that I have to grow up. After 36+ years of working at the same place it's a little confusing as to what the next steps will be. The good news is that I'm surrounded by family and friends that are SOOOO supportive. It's nice to know there's people willing to help. More good news is that I don't really have to decide to make any more changes for a little bit, so I'm gonna take some time, unwind and continue to take pics.

Speaking of support, I've been involved in a couple fund raising events this year which I've chronicled in albums in my Photo section. It's made me proud to be part of this community. I'd like to call out a few friends that epitomize the spirit of helpfulness and that would start with Danny and Rene.. Britt, Marcia Ball, Nancy Coplin and Pam Golightly who have done so much for so many people. It's an honor to call you all friends and I love you all for what you've done!!! There were dozens and dozens of people that helped with their time, talents and financial support, thank you all!!!

Enough of the preachy stuff and in case you wanna know about me, I'm the kinda guy who always has a camera with him and there's nothing I like better than to take pictures of my friends. Fortunately, I have some great looking friends and some amazing musicians amongst them!!! I go out seven nights a week here in Austin, TX so I'm never at a loss for subjects to shoot.

I try to post at least one picture a day, so check it out and come back often. Besides you might just be in one of them. Thanks for stopping by...........

Who I'd like to meet:
I'm happy to be meet anyone who's path I cross, so I'm not really looking to try and shape destiny. These are some of the folks that I hung out with in March, 2008:

Thanks Winker, it's so cool you're inviting me for a drink. This afternoon (by now it's 10pm over here) we planned our trip. We're about to start in Houston, from there to San Antonio, Austin etc. I want to make it a Willie trail: visit Abbott, Carl's Corner and all the other places in the neighbourhood. We have to inform at the travel agency about prices and stuff. As soon as I know more, I sure let you know.

BTW: when does the storm season end? We want to plan our trip in October. Is it save enough by then? (I was almost blown away in New Orleans and Williamburg years ago so I try to avoid hurricanes  )

Love & Peace, Amalphi

Hi Winker,

Thanks for the add. I'm glad that you're my friend! This year I hope to visit the States. I'd love to visit Austin, Abbot, Carl's Corner and all the other famous cities in the neighbourhood. I've already visited a great part of the States, but I've never been in Texas. I hope to meet you some day.

Have a great weekend!

Love & Peace, Amalphi
