Hi there!
Well, I finally removed the Osama rant since he is now essentially irrelevant. Instead, I thought maybe I would tell you a bit about myself, since I have really enjoyed reading profiles of other people when they give a few personal details.
Here are the vitals . . .
- First name: Mike
- Age: 51
- Family: Married to Pleasant Skies, pictured above; Two adult children, both beautiful young ladies, and one great son-in-law; A proud granddaddy of two drop-dead gorgeous little girls; One brother, one sister; Dad and Mom are alive and well and living nearby
- Education: Bachelors and Masters degrees from a minor major Midwest university (1978, 1980); in spite of my education, I became a productive member of society with core conservative values (this I owe to my family and my upbringing)
- Occupation: V.P. of our family-owned steel fabricating business
- Birth place: Tampa, FL
- Residence: Michigan, since 1957
- Political affiliation: Despite the fact that I vote nearly straight Republican, I would still like to think of myself as an independent (whether it is true or not)
- Values: Ronald Reagan conservative, and as optimistic as the day is long; George W. Bush hawk for freedom, and without reservations or apology
- Hope for the future: That my kids and theirs will live in the same kind of America that I have known, if not a better America
