Family

OK, my dear, sweet mother has been hammering me to actually put up something that SHE considers interesting. So, here is some personal info.

I am ½ Roman, ¼ Viking and ¼ Hun. If you have trouble translating that, that would be Italian (50%), Swedish (25%) and German (25%), respectively. Now, Roman and Viking aren't necessarily a good combination; the Roman in me is hot-blooded, and the Viking in me just wants to scream "ODIIIIIIN" [1] every once in a while and go pillaging.

Alas, I have, thus far, refrained from doing so, and we just kind of muddle along.

XYL

Behind every good man stands a woman. Behind a crazy man stands an equally crazy woman, and here she is.

Oh, and she's smart (IQ of 136), and beautiful, and playful.

Oh, and she's also a ham! KCØEFM. She has helped me on several occasions, for both public service and emergency service.

She and I have helped out with the Fairplay Burro Races for a few years now, and she helped out on the Hi Meadow Fire. In fact, if it weren't for her, we who were in the ICP wouldn't have had any food at all.

My beautiful bride. Picture was taken in the summer of 1998, in the Weimenuche wilderness area; we were camping at Vallecito Reservoir with her family, and took a hike into the wilderness area.

Where we live

Here are some pics of my house.

My house in the summer time

My house in the spring time -- no, really! March and April are our snowiest months.

My Family

Here's some pictures of my family.

My biological mother. From this one comes my Viking and Hun heritage.

My biological uncle, my mom's brother. From this one comes my complete insanity.


[1] It's actually "Odin", the name of the Norse god of war. According to the movie, the Vikings were a bloodthirsty bunch, ransacking everything good and proper, and when they did it, they would scream the name of their god of war as they went into battle.

You have to rent this movie sometime; it's hilarious.
