I thought it might be time to remind everyone Who I Am.
A Self Portrait.
I took the above Selfie just now. I’ve been told that I need to establish a personal connection with people. So where better to start than right here. Sure… I had other shots… but Most of them were either taken be various Law Enforcement Agencies or show me in a less dignified light. (For those of you who have seen me passed out naked in the front lawn, I’m Sorry. As you folks can understand, I didn’t think it appropriate to subject anyone else to images that can never be genuinely scrubbed from one’s psyche.)
Some of my Favorite things are Long Slow walks on the Beach… and the Crystal Blue Water close to the Equator. Hammering on my Keyboard. Eating with Friends. Elk Boxing. Audrey Hepburn… not so much Katherine. Watching the Sun Rise just before bed. None of which I enjoy sober.
I rarely wear clothes, but when I do it’s always something unusual. I lean towards Small Fez-like hats and the occasional Red Vest.
I’ve always wanted to be able to Fly.
I value a Strong, Disciplined sense of Situational Morality and Ethics. It all depends on the Situation…
My Favorite colors are whatever you’re Eating. And I want it.
My Drinking makes everybody else better.
I have two brain cells left… and they fight.
My favorite person is my lovely wife… her least favorite person is me. It keeps the Universe in balance.
I know what a call list is… bourbon, scotch, vodka, gin, rum, tequila. And all should be had in that order daily.
I am the Me in Team. I also like to Eat Meat and Mate.
I generally hate people. It’s kind of where I start when establishing a relationship.
I hope you all now feel closer to me.
I know I feel closer to you.
OK, may be not.
– Mike
(I’m also flashing you in my picture! Too late, you already looked. Ha! I know it’s not very big… but as our family crest says in Latin; If you don’t like cute you wont like us. But it works just fine for me.)

Ha! You always make me smile, Mike. I’ve never tried elk boxing. Is that a real thing in the world? I ran from a elk once, but I never thought to box with him. I have a feeling that wouldn’t have gone well.

A touching piece. Reaching out to connect with us, the little people. Raw, honest, courageous… Everything we have come to expect from a taxpayer-subsidized drunken monkey. 🙂
Best,

As a neighbor of yours and under the guise of the first amendment, I feel the need to let your readers know that you forgot to mention that you currently hold the record for the most empty beer bottles/cans on your front yard!

Oh.. you’re making me blush. I know someday someone will come forward and break that record. I’m just glad God gave me the ability to compete.

Ok – pretty hilarious – I was getting ready to call it a night and noticed you said you had posted a selfie – that was the hook – oh such trickery! Oh and at least we have Elk boxing in common – you do mean the animal right?

Of course. It’s a bit more of a challenge but I try to even the odds by making sure I’m drunk.
