I'm back in the USA! It's great to be back! Thank you to all that were so friendly while I was over there. I got back around the end of August. I spent most of the month of Sept in Texas with my sexy lady, Elise. :) Now, I'm back at my full time job with the Wisconsin Nat'l Guard. I don't spend much of my time on the internet so don't be upset if I don't say Hi everday :)

I am easy to get along with, great sense of humor, love the outdoors as long as it doesn't involve snow or being cold. I work hard and play hard. Love to ride my dyna wide glide on a hot summer day or night, like to shoot pool, love my 2 cats, a warm rain, thunder storms, camping, relaxing, reading, canoeing, hiking, all things outdoors.
Love playing board games, card games, love to have fun!

I am very open minded and treat everyone with respect until/unless they show me they don't deserve it. Anway....if you want to know more, just ask...I'm always willing to talk to anyone. Take care, ALL.

"THE BOX"

Once upon a time, in the land of Hush-A-Bye,
Around about the wondrous days of yore,
They came across a kind of box
Bound up with chains and locked with locks
And labeled "Kindly do not touch; it's war."
A decree was issued round about, and all with a flourish and a shout
And a gaily colored mascot tripping lightly on before.
Don't fiddle with this deadly box,Or break the chains, or pick the locks.
And please don't ever play about with war.

The children understood. Children happen to be good
And they were just as good around the time of yore.
They didn't try to pick the locks or break into that deadly box.
They never tried to play about with war.
Mommies didn't either; sisters, aunts, grannies neither
'Cause they were quiet, and sweet, and pretty
In those wondrous days of yore.
Well, very much the same as now,
And not the ones to blame somehow
For opening up that deadly box of war.

But someone did. Someone battered in the lid
And spilled the insides out across the floor.
A kind of bouncy, bumpy ball made up of guns and flags
And all the tears, and horror, and death that comes with war.
It bounced right out and went bashing all about,
Bumping into everything in store.And what was sad and most unfair
Was that it didn't really seem to care
Much who it bumped, or why, or what, or for.

It bumped the children mainly. And I'll tell you this quite plainly,
It bumps them every day and more, and more,
And leaves them dead, and burned, and dying
Thousands of them sick and crying.
'Cause when it bumps, it's really very sore.

Now there's a way to stop the ball. It isn't difficult at all.
All it takes is wisdom, and I'm absolutely sure
That we can get it back into the box,And bind the chains, and lock the locks.
But no one seems to want to save the children anymore.
Well, that's the way it all appears, 'cause it's been bouncing round for years and years
In spite of all the wisdom wizzed since those wondrous days of yore
And the time they came across the box,
Bound up with chains and locked with locks,
And labeled "Kindly do not touch; it's war."
