i am a proud american and lifelong republican who was born and raised in houston, texas. so needless to say, i was very happy to discover republican passion and i am very excited to become part of this group. i haven't been lucky enough to find like-minded individuals to make the acquaintance of. in terms of a political common ground, family is included. i'm very open-minded and appreciative of everyone's point of view, even though many folks don't extend me the same courtesy. well, life's too short to stress over most things. i like to concentrate my energies on being a positive and happy person.

i have worked for a major cancer center in houston's medical center for the past 22 years in the supply chain division (senior buyer)

some of my interests are reading (*classic* fantasy/fiction, fictio dventure, pulps, classic horror, and so on) drawing, writing, cooking, dining out, pubs, mixology, tropical climates (love the beach!), classic rock, surf music, 70's and 80's music and classic country. also going to the theater, watching classic movies circa 1925 thru early 2000's (noir, universal monsters, comedy, action adventure and serials), collecting silver and bronze age marvel comic books, working-out (running, lifting, boxing mma and swimming). what i especially enjoy is meeting new people and being introduced to new interests and ideas. i'm a great listener. summer is my favorite time of the year and friday is my favorite day.

in closing, and as mentioned, i am interested in making new friends to correspond with on occasions.
