Chess -  I am an original LIFE-Master. 
I am 51 years old and I have been playing chess since I was four years old.

Music - I am very much a fan of Classical Music. 
I have dozens of CD's. I used to have a lot of books on famous composers like Beethoven, Mozart, etc. 

***

Movies - I also enjoy action flicks. I am especially fond of "The Dirty Harry" series of movies, and the "Lethal Weapon" series. I also liked Clint Eastwood's, "spaghetti Westerns." ("A Fistful of Dollars," was the first.)

***

Games - I like all manner of games. 
Board games, card games, video games, arcade games, and computer games. Etc.

Web Page Building - I have really gotten into web page building and I enjoy it a lot. 

***
Computer Graphics - I very much enjoy creating graphics.

(I don't think you can build an attractive website, if you cannot build some unique and attractive graphics. MS paint, MS Image Composer, MicroGrafix Draw, and Corel Draw are just a few of the programs that I use.)

***

I enjoy just surfing the web and finding new sites. (Especially sites about chess!) 

***

I enjoy teaching. (With a good audience.) 
One of the most rewarding jobs I have ever held was a teaching job at a local, private school. I taught chess there for almost two years.

I am a family man. I am married. (Widowed in 2008.)  I have three children of my own and a a very good-looking step-son.
