Rik LI'M LAID BACK UNTIL GIVEN REASON TO RISE DEPENDING UPON WICH SKIN COMES UP YOU MAY SEE I WAS IN THE CORPS AND AM STILL PROUD OF THAT FACT AND ALL THE GUYS WHO ARE FILLING MY SHOES YEARS LATER AS I FILLED THE SHOES OF THOSE THAT CAME BEFORE ME . HAVE A SON WHO'S BECOME THE MAN I HAD HOPED HE WOULD. LIVE WITH MY OLD ENGLISH BULLDOG, MAXIMUS OR MAX. HE HAS TROUBLE SPELLING. HAVE A SIAMESE CAT NAMED FLEA AND NOT BECAUSE OF THE BUGS BUT BECAUSE SHE JUMPS AROUND ON HER BACK 2 LEGS AND MOVES LIKE FLEA FROM 'THE REDHOT CHILLI PEPPERS'. ALSO HAVE 2 BIRDS. BESIDES MY SON AND ANIMALS I'M AN AVID WEAPONS COLLECTOR. FIREARMS ARE HERE BUT NOT PART OF THE COLLECTION, I SEE THEM AS TOOLS AND TOYS. I'M MORE INTERESTED IN EDGED WEAPONS OF ALL KINDS. I HAD A THOUSAND OR SO A FEW YEARS BACK AND THEN QUIT KEEPING COUNT. SOMETHING VERY SENSUAL ABOUT MASTERING A SWORD OR A SHORT EDGE, THEY ARE SO MUCH MORE PERSONNAL. I'M AFTER MOSTLY THOSE OF HISTORICAL SIGNIFACANCE, BE IT SWORDS, DAGGERS,AXES OR TOMAHAWKS.
