CURRENT MISSION

To be the person my dog thinks I am........

ABOUT ME

I left Ireland when I was 18 and travelled and worked in Australia for over 2 years, then spent about 9 months travelling in Asia. Returned home, got married and lived in San Francisco for a year. Had a daughter and a son, shortly followed by a seperation and divorce! I bought up both the kids myself, but am now free again as they are independent working, fully functual beings, and my 2 best friends. I am single and have a dog called Mouse and a cat called muddles. I work hard, but take as many breaks as possible. I love life, havw a good sense of humour and seem to be much liked - that's what they tell me anyway.

Music, Movies, and Books

Most music, mainly American though. Both new bands and older geezers. Jazz and some world music. Cohen, Waits, Little Feat etc. etc.
Read loads of books of all types. Discuss when I see you.
Tend to like independently made movies and b/w classics. Thought provoking stuff too. More discussion!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went up to 'see' the Vietnam war as a backpacker, before the word backpacker was ever invented. To find out more about this adventure, read the book, after i've written it.
