Hey all! Im Doc. Not as in Medical Doctor... Philosophical Doc. It's a nickname because I'm the guy that likes to always look at the philosophical side of things with a slant toward wisdom (or so I feel). I like to ride, play music (acoustic guitar- country & rock) and be in the country or at the beach. I live in San Diego, but spent the majority of my life in NC, right in the heart of the Bible Belt. I have a liberal heart and a conservative soul. What that means, is I believe in my southern Christian raising but wholeheartedly respect everyone's right to their own ways and freedoms, no matter what anyone else thinks of them. So, if you're gay, interracial, extreme left or even just a pot smoker, good for you! I am not and will not be, but I respect your right to be and do those things if you wish. This is, after all America. I do not own a bike anymore but have a purchase in the works. Cannot wait to get the knees back in the breeze even more than before. I'm ill and on the decline so I will seize every opportunity that I can to get in the wind. Well... That's me y'all. Here I am...
