Interesting People

I have many interesting friends. Most are just normal folks, but a few are far from normal.

One of my most unique friends is Brandi Harline, she just joined a Roller Derby team....in 2011! Not only that but she also has a goose that is an online celebrity. Very cool person!

My best friend Rob Johnson is the right hand man for a billionaire. He got a police escort to go fix that guys generator during the height of hurricane Ike.(when several engineers couldn't figure it out) He's the hardest working "suit" I know. Too many amazing things about him to mention them all but he's an absolutely great person.

Abby Gatton is probably the most unusual of all. It's 2011 and she hasn't ever lived "on the grid." No electricity and farms almost everything she eats. She has ten kids and one of them is the best programmer I ever saw. 70 yrs old and still hauls her water from the creek!

Drew Brugal is another character that deserves mention. A former fighter pilot that has exceeded in everything he does. He's become one of my heroes over the years. A true gentleman that deserves respect from his peers.

Tom Tinner, yes my father is one of my favorite people of all time. In his heyday he's been the most interesting of all. At 77 he still is probably the best game player I've ever seen. He can kill you at dominoes, checkers, chess, craps, card games, cribbage and more. He is truly legendary! He actually was a one armed wall paper hanger. Nobody gets busier than that!

Joanne Tinner is probably the biggest influence on my life. I inherited her temper and passion for life. When I was a kid, she was the meanest son of a gun I knew. She never took crap off anybody. Mom has mellowed over the years but she's still fiery about her convictions. We are similar in so many respects that we have a hard time getting along. I'm sure she has no idea how much love and respect she's earned from me over the years...We're both too stubborn to admit anything. I love her dearly and she doesn't even realize it.

One of the other people that influenced me over the years is here! I miss them and would very much like to talk to them!
