Everything from Bach to Bocephus to Flaming Lips.

Just finished "A High Lonesome Call" by Robert Holthouser. Highly recommended.

Seems like all I do is read. Any book by Gene Hill, Pat McManus, Ed Zern. Any book on bird hunting, dog training, fly tying and fishing.
Some favorites: "Tails I Loose" and "Grandma and the Buck Deer" by Joel M. Vance. "Jenny Willow" by Mike Gaddis, "Grouse and Lesser Gods" by Ted Nelson Lundrigan

Magazines: Gray's Sporting Journal, Sporting Classics, Shooting Sportsman, Waterfowl, Retriever Journal, Fly Rod & Reel, Fly Tyer, Fly Fisherman, PA Angler, PA Game News

I love hunting (particularly waterfowl and upland) and fishing (particularly fly fishing and fly tying). My wife says I love the dog (a fox red lab out of Wildrose Kennels) more than her or the kids.

I love to cook and find it very relaxing. Some of my worst days at work have resulted in the best meals for my crew.

I like to garden (mostly vegetable) and camp.

Hunting and fishing shows on TOC & VS. (My all time favorites were Cast & Blast and What The Dogs Taught Me, but they're no longer on the air. Shame on you, TOC.) "Firefly" reruns on Sci-Fi. DIY and the Food Network.

Movies: old westerns with the Duke or Clint (although 3:10 To Yuma was AWESOME!), Serenity, Bourne trilogy

My father.
Aldo Leopold.
Our troops at home and abroad.






slatedrake Time to start practicing with the duck call (and driving the dog crazy).

I am the father of two. My son, 21, is a senior at DeSales University majoring in acting/directing. My daughter, 19 is a sophomore at DeSales majoring in technical theatre and design. I have been married for 26 years to one of the best and most avid fisherwomen in PA (she outfishes me on a regular basis).

I work as a pharmacist in a small communtiy hospital in NJ, just on the other side of the Delaware river from my Lehigh Valley home.

I volunteer with a great organization called Camp Compass. We work with disadvantaged inner city kids to promote social responsibilty through hunting, fishing and other outdoor sporting activities. Please check out their websites at www.campcompass.org or www.campcompassacademy.org and consider supporting the future of outdoor sports.

Because I have zero experience with social networking websites let me say thank you for all the friend adds because I probably couldn't figure out how to respond early on.
