About oldBPLstackdenizenBorn in the last half of the last century in The City By The Golden Gate ( although I never actually lived there ) - I am now around about 51 & 1/2 years young ( although my body has been trying to tell me that it's actually the other way around )^^^ From a young age, I have always possessed a keen appreciation for all manner of printed material - including books, comic books, magazines, newspapers, even the backs of cereal boxes, as the years wore on, however, I did tend to become less of an avid reader, becoming more of an avid "watcher" ( and "listener" )...Partly on account of TV addiction ( and now, DVD and Internet Dependence ) ^^^ I like to have music on almost all the time - mostly Classical Music, although I also had a love affair with Jazz going on for many years - and, when I get the opportunity, I like to listen to Celtic Music ( as heard, for instance, on NPR's "Thistle And Shamrock" program ) ^^^ I'm very much a homebody ( at least, much of the time ) ^^^
