    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    Very interesting character. Certainly had some diversified interests. Although I am sure he was never bored, he may have had times when he wished he was three people - so many hobbies, so little time. Cheers, RickO
