Me
editSo what is there to say about me? I am married to a beautiful wife. No kids, but we have a really tenacious cat, Eliel. I love sports, baseball and basketball in particular. Other than that, I love to read/learn/debate politics, military, and religion. I am a Christian, a Lutheran that attends a Southern Baptist church. Martin Luther is rolling in his grave. Of course, he probably already was if he knows the current state of the ELCA...
Baseball
editI love the Houston Astros. They were may grandfather's favorite team since they started in 1962 as the Colt .45's. The Astrodome was my ideal (as a kid) place to play baseball. Then I learned how bad Astroturf was on your knees. Still, one of the first things I think of when I think baseball is the Astrodome.
