HOBBIES AND INTERESTS
Actually, there are too many to list, but I will hit the main
points:
Computers, of course.
Photography (I have a color darkroom).
Writing - fiction, non-fiction (training materials, organizational
skills, goal-setting, quality process, etc.), & a poem
or two.
Book collecting - particularly 1st edition of Texas authors.
Collecting all kinds of odds and ends like rocks, fossils,
shells, Hopalong Cassidy memorabilia, penguins, trucking company
cups, Winn Ross trucks, western art and no telling what next.
Chili Cook offs. I've competed since 1977, first with the
Penguin Air Force and later with Rodent Red Chili Teams.
I also read like crazy - just about anything I can get my
hands on, but my favorite authors are Larry McMurtry, Larry
L. King, Tom Clancy, Stephen King, David L. Lindsay, Tony Hillerman,
and Ken Follet.
I also like to travel. I've been in over half of the states,
nine countries, and have lived all over the southeastern & southwestern
United States. Places I have lived include: Dallas, Ft. Worth,
Odessa, Houston, Brownwood, Paris (Texas), Tucson, Phoenix,
Atlanta, Miami, Tampa, and various others. |
