About me:



I miss my friends and family when I’m away but I need to hit the road every now and then.

I thought I wasn’t easy to get along with but it turned out that it wasn’t always me, and that’s a good feeling.

And yes, I’m a risk junkie who’d forgotten how much fun it is to take risks. It’s nice to have that back again.

And even though I still drive a ton, I’m cutting back on the traffic tickets. It’s really cramping my social life and it’s just too freakin’ expensive!

I’ve even cut back on the coffee while my other vices blossom and lead me into the kind of fun trouble I’d forgotten all about.

I still look back on so many parts of my past (including my failed marriage!) as some of the best times of my life, but I know that I have so many more ahead because every day is a blast in so many ways, with closing doors and opening windows all around me.

And I’m going to keep on telling people what I think and how I feel. Holding my tongue has never worked out, it’s only allowed the assholes to gain more ground.

I'm the lucky father of four amazing kids and I’m proud of every one of them every day. I continue to make it hard for them in a lot of ways, but I’m afraid these are our paths in this life, and can only hope that in the end Love really will endure. I think if you asked them they’d agree.

And I love to tell stories – ask anybody who knows me - especially true stories so if you read something I’ve written, even if I say it’s fiction, there’s definitely a ribbon of truth running through it. And if you think that’s you in my story, it probably is, and if you don’t like it, tough shit.

It doesn't necessarily mean I don't love you.
