    About Me I am an average ordinary guy .........ha ha had you going nothing ordinary about me. I am a recovering alcoholic (sobriety date of 4-17-2006). I like to go to aa meetings. And for fun I can be caught working with leather and chainmail. I also spend an inordinately amount of time dressed up as one of those guys from the capital one commercial. Wenching is fun until one of them catches you......
    Music everything
    Movies I like movies
    TV Don't watch other than as something to occupy my brain while I am working on chain mail.
    Books Alot recently read all of Tom Clancy. Got into it in jail(the only book in the place had to shiv three guys to get it) and really enjoyed them. Umberto Eco is an awesome writer( if you likeed da vinci code then try his Foucault's pendulum much more complex) For historical fiction I love Edward Rutherford ( he has some really good books about england, ireland and russia that follow families through time and how they lived in different eras) or Diana Gabaldon ( some call them romances but i Think James Fraser is a good example of a real man)
    Likes i like apples
    Dislikes furboy don't hate nothing
    Hobbies Dressing up in wierd outfits and traipsing about after others in less wierd outfits.
    Vices all of them
    Virtues one or two depending on my day.
    Heroes God , the incredible hulk, people with patience I really admire that quality

    Hi there I don't know if anybodt remembers me but I have not been at a faire in 2 years. I have been in recovery. I am now a member of alcoholics anonymous. (some of you will be happy to hear that). But this year I am hoping to make a return to the circuit. Hope to see you all there.

    Hey Furboy, Missed you on the circuit but its changed dramatically!! Amana is gone in the fall, council bluffs is now owned by Harry of the Missouri faires, Des Moines has a hard faire and Nebraska would like to have one started... and I've become a grandmama and will move this spring somewhere.

    good luck with your quest for your holy grail of sobriety. Its worth the journey, and its grand that you are trying to get yourself help. bon chance!!
