About me...

- Ex-producer of THE REALLY FUNNY HORNY GOAT INTERNATIONAL SHORT FILM FESTIVAL, playwright, actor, singer, outdoorsman, blogger, amateur photog, observer & bitcher, Beach Boys groupie, Brett Favre fanatic, lover of everything Celtic and forever a member in the Tribe of HAIR. Spent most of my life in the Village of Waterford, a small town just outside of the Milwaukee suburbs.

Life is good.

Classic. Posted this last year as well but it's genius. Thought I'd end this year's Halloween post with it. Don't be too creeped out.

My photo's in Tom Wait's Magical Trunk!
Not really. Tom Wait's Magical Trunk is an application on Facebook. The smaller picture below is the one from Wait's "magical trunk" that looks like mine.
The picture below is the one I took in Santa Barbara last year at a piano recital/concert.
