I like -

1) I LOVE the smell of salt in the air. I especially love the way salt collects on our skin while we play at the beach all day.

2) I like running.  I literally run wherever my little mind will take me and I rarely run the same path twice. I run for time and heart rate. Its all I have left now that my Soccer days are over as a player.

3) I am a tone freak. Heavy Strings, Tube amps and vintage guitars are a combination made in heaven. I have a sound that is as unique to my guitar playing as it is to the sound of my own voice. My guitars all bear the scars of this discovery process. I am all about Music.

4) Put me in the water. I love to surf, swim, scuba, snorkel…You name it. Swimming in a pool just doesn’t cut it.

5) Love, Love, Love hot sauces!!! D’elidas from Panama is hands down my absolute favorite but I have to import it from Panama myself!!!

6) I have all but quit drinking but I still love the taste of A few libations. My favorite beer is Dogfish Head 90 minute IPA.  I was once a big Rum drinker and have a sizable collection.  Save yourself some time and trouble and get you a bottle of Santa Teresa 1796 from Venezuela. 

7) Musicians, Artists and Athletes - I get on well with folks who have this sort of intellect.

My daughter - Um, the sun rises and sets on that young lady. it is so cool spend time with the new improved version of myself. Lately she has taken to crushing me in the pool and over the road. I only wish I could sing as well as she does and I’m a good singer. She is an absolutely lovely human being.

9) My wife - She is the go to person for anything that is fun in my life.  She loves adventure.  She is beautiful and absolutely brilliant. I have not met anyone like her before or since. I am a lucky man.

10) For some reason I am great with plants. I view it as a curse actually. While I love plants, I am stretched to my limit. Everywhere I go they seem to follow me.

Certainly this isn’t everything. If you choose to fill your life with love there will be many things about you that will find their way into your very soul.

May the Spirit of Christmas be upon each of you!

Peace,

Bobby

Hmmm,

I like that word. I guess you learn something new everyday.

Edge….

I suppose every guy likes to think he has some kind of “edge” in a certain department.

There are some things in which I have NO EDGE at all. I just can’t do everything. I can’t live in a landlocked place. Forget it. I’ll die.

I am not afraid of the water. Sounds simple right? I can tell you that most folks aren’t swimming 500 yards to shore with me after bailing off their sailboat. Yes, we are swimming back. Screw the dinghy. I love anything with the water as long as it is loaded with living creatures. Swimming pools suck the life out of everything.

Music? I am a guitarist, drummer, singer and bass player so if you need a musician I can probably do it. Don’t ask me to do Barry Manilow impressions on the piano because my heroes never play the keyboards. I am aggressive in this department. I don’t know why. Liberace ain’t gonna cut it.

Sports? Depends. I love playing baseball. Soccer is something I have done since I was 10 and I gave it up for good with real competition at the age of 23. Can I still play? Um, I don’t want any part of 21 year old Bobby. 44 year old Bobby is perhaps one of the best soccer coaches that you will encounter. I suck at basketball. I just never played. Tennis? I play but get pretty pissed off at it if I’m having a bad game so I leave that alone.

Mischief? Now that is my passion. I’m even notorious for mischief everywhere even as an old man. I call it being retarded. I have learned this can now be substituted for “Edge”… Good spin I will say. My name is mentioned often in our homeowners association meetings. So what?!

I like to always have a series of projects. My strong point is creating several projects and beating my own deadlines for these projects. I will tell you that I DO NOT go from one unfinished project to the next. Ahhh that pisses me off. I finish what I start in logical order.

In 3d? My wife says that I can be a load, aggressive and arrogant if someone rubs me the wrong way. Really? I’m not argumentative but you will figure it out if I don’t give a crap about whatever the circumstances may be.

I sure as hell am not perfect.

I am drawn to people who are passionate about things.

So my “edge” is defined with one word.

Passion.

Peace be with you,

Bobby

My niece. I hate her mother but you know what? She LOVES Uncle Bobby. I put her on a delay and she went bonkers….
