Born and breed Texan - proud to serve as a US Marine - air traffic controller - married to a sweet lady from Paris, two great kids, a cat and a mortgage, life is good, God has blessed me tremendously. Just returned from a pilgrimage to Rome for my 50th birthday.

A note re this forum - Please do not apply a different meaning to my words and then attribute those words to me. I make an effort to write what I mean and do not appreciate it when others indicate what they think my words meant and attribute their revised phrase to me.
