    • About Me

      Where do I start? OK ...I am a guy that likes be outside where it's warm. So, it stands to reason....why do I live in Michigan? Hopefully not for long! I am not the religious type, though I believe one should strive to be a good person, and not a hypocrite. I like animals, taking pictures with my digital camera, the water, fun in the sun etc... I have strong opinions, but respect others. I have struggled greatly with depression for abt. 25 years, and know it's power well. Glad to be here!
