Hey All,

Hmmm, what're me interestin' pastimes? Well, there's the tortoises I adopt or find homes for; the green iguanas I raise; the orchids I try to keep alive(so far so good, lotsa blooms!); picking up pieces of rocks that are left over from my golden retrievers' daily tooth-cleaning sessions(not to mention coconut shells & other assorted hard things they find & chew up); keeping tabs on which fish are having babies in which fish tank in which room in da house; trying to outswim various sharks & other assorted marine life whilst taking a peek at their underwater world...oh yeah, can't forget playing guitar & singing base/tenor in a church choir, wildlife photography, hiking, moutain biking, reading sci-fi/fantasy, model building(also have the Enterprise 1701-D suspended from the ceiling), cooking, and landscaping/maintenance(hey, YOU try keeping a half acre of tropical fruit trees from turning into a jungle...)...

Paz everyone!
