Welcome to my web site.  Take a look around and let me know what you think...
 
 
 

I must admit that I am hooked on bonsai.  My wife says that I am a bonsai hoarder.   This is my Bonsmas Tree.  It started out as a $6 Home Depot Juniper that turned into a Charlie Brown Xmas Tree. 

 

I just added a pretty extensive index of plant suitability for bonsai and appropriate care sheets.  I am also in the process of linking pictures of some of my trees.

 

Come take a look at my bonsai habit.

 
 
 I spend a lot of time outside... (It's because I like it and not because I am either being banished or seeking to escape from my responsibilities [isn't that code for family?]) 

 

Come take a look at my gardens.


 

My other hobbies...(assuming sleeping and eating do not count!)

 
I bet that it is psychologically interesting that my hobbies (other than bonsai) revolve around collecting items against a closed set.

 

 

 

 

I am a little nuttzy (at least my wife says so) about HO Cars... This comes from my youth when there were no video games and slot cars provided speed, engineering, and the occasional demolition derby.

 

This page is coming soon (isn't 'coming soon' a great product of the Internet era in that it can mean imminent or never). 

 

 

 

I was an avid US and UN stamp collector until the USPS determined that in would not only be profitable to geometrically increase the price of postage, but also to geometrically increase the number of stamps that are released each year. 

 

This page too, is coming soon (I just love that phrase.)

 

Well, this (i.e., collecting) isn't entirely true.  I used to do a fair amount of woodworking until I whacked off a significant chunk of the middle finger on my right hand..., although this is probably more of an excuse than a rationale.

 

I haven't decided if I am going to include a picture of a sample of my woodwork or of my finger.  What would you rather see?

 

 

My Family

 

 

 

Don't forget the family (isn't it tough to find a decent picture of the entire family?  This picture is probably 8 years old.)

 

Philosophies of Work and Life

 

 

 

I thought that I would include a few written thoughts to compliment all of the pictures.
