Given the general political view of the political parties in the United States and particularly Long Island, I'm a more-or-less liberal "Yellow-dog Democrat" -- I'd vote for a Democrat even if a yeller dog.  Click for more about term.Royal_D4_7_insetlarge.jpg (64798 bytes)

My Fibber McGee's closet -- although I'm occasionally flabbergasted with email from someone who found something of interest here.

One of my hobbies is family history and genealogy. A large-ish volume, with lots of information on my ancestors.

Another of my Hobbies (passion?) is Motorcycling.  In this volume you'll find more about my bikes, including some travel logs (such as Harley-Davidson's 95th Anniversary, Northern England & Scotland, Key West, Canada's Maritime Provinces, and west to Arizona).  Unfortunately, I'm getting arthritic and moving into late middle age, so don't do as much biking as I used to.  I miss it a lot.

I'm involved in a couple of organizations and permanently unemployed (retired).  This volume has links to these organizations and my former employer.

My immediate household & family.

My daughter runs a wonderful restaurant in Morrisville, Vermont—The Bees Knees.  If you're up that way, stop in for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Recipes -- Some of my favorites.  I like to cook, and my cardiologist wished I didn't.

Our hometown -- Brookhaven/South Haven Hamlets.  A mushrooming volume which now has its own URL.  It originally started with just a few scenes and comment.  It's now growing to include history, genealogies, censuses, cemetery surveys and more!  It's now, by far, the largest volume.

Musings. Once-in-a-while comments on life and the end of the world as we know it.

We are all profoundly affected by the tragedy of September 11, 2001.
