I am a divorced man with three kids, daughter Alexis 21, daughter Holly 11, and son Colton 9.

I have many interests but started with the XJ page because I am just starting the XJ project.

In the near future I will add a page for my motorcycles. I do not own one now, but I have many years worth of pictures to scan, and stories to tell, to get the page up. The last three bikes I owned were BMW's. I liked them very much and my next bike will probably be one as well. I know there are other bikes that can and do perform better than the BMW. However there is just something about the quality, workmanship, and reliability of a BMW I really appriciate. If I do defect it might be to a Triumph!
Update for 2007, I now have a bike again, time to get on that MC page (some is up now)

I am also interested in amateur astronomy. Although with the family I don't always have time to get out under the stars. I have a Celestron 114 HD, that is to say it is a 4¨ Newtonian Reflector on the sturdiest Equitorial mount Celestron Makes. If you feel the need to learn more about the stars I suggest Terrance Dickenson's Book ¨Nightwatch¨. It is available at Amazon.com. If I had read this book before I got my telescope I probably would have gotten a different one. If you read more about star gazing you will know why. If you want to E-mail me I could tell you as well.

I also play the drums. I played in the marching band in High School, but always wanted to play a kit. When I moved to Colorado my minister said he was looking to get a praise band together. I thought, ¨Hey I always wanted to do that anyway!!¨ ¨Beside, now I can afford lessons¨. I did try to play a set back in High School, but without lessons or the books with CD's Available today, I just couldn't get it. BOY! what a difference having an instuctor makes! Now at 40 I play the drums. I have a couple of picture of my kit here.
