k's Story
Who am I? Very different than when in High School. More outgoing, adventuresome, self confident, accomplished. I love to and can talk to anyone. You have to be careful who you choose in Manhattan!
I am lucky to be alive. In August 2006 I experienced a massive heart attack that resulted in a hole in my ventricular septum. I went into cardiogenic shock, my vital organs shutting down for lack of oxygen. I had emergency open heart surgery where the MD's cut open my heart and patched the hole. 90% die.
I am an attorney, retired from Guardian Life, living in Philadelphia near our youngest son and his 6 year old daughter. I still golf - with a 4 handicap; I played the trumpet and did so for awhile again in Manhattan, but without an outlet, sold it to a member of the Liincoln Center Jazz Orcesatra, Kenny Rampton. Got invited to a rehearsal of Stan Kenton music and met all the guys in the orchestra, including Wynton Marsalis. Great experience. I love fast cars as you can see from the picture - my top driving speed having been 152 MPH(82000 RPM) in my Honda S2000 on I - 77 in SC; I love dining out at high end restaurants ( Daniel, Jean Georges, Le Bernardin, Babbo) as well as favorite neighborhood joints (Joey G's, Burger Joint, Kennedy's, Cellini's, Park Side); I still love live concerts, and living a block from Carnegie Hall, have taken in many fantastic concerts and yes, the acoustics there are everything reported to be; I lov...Expand for more
e living in Manhattan and going to NY sports events - go Giants, Jets, Rangers, Yankees, and Mets( lost cause) I actually coached a pitcher in Little League in Virginia who pitched for the Mets! - John Maine - until he was injured; I love nice clothes - at a bargain! I was no clothes horse in high school but a thoroughbred now! Ah...the joys of Manhattan.
I love fine Bourbon - Pappy Van Winkle - 23, 20, 15 - have them all. George Stagg? 140+ proof, have 2013 and 2014; Bowman Special Reserve single Barrel; Mckenzie from the Finger Lakes; White Oak Single Barrel Project. Retire? Jamesons Special Reserve Black Barrel is another favorite whisky - distilled once a year - when its gone its gone.
Love to travel -:over the past 5 years to Milan, Florence, Rome, Paris, Normandy, Berlin, Vienna, Venice, Bologna, Siena, Tuscany, Lucca, Avignon, small towns in Provence, San Remo, Italy. Eaten at wonderful restaurants, enjoyed private wine tastings, and travel with my wife, son, grand daughter and daughter in law.
While retired from Guardian, I want to remain mentally active. When I wake up in the morning I want a sense of purpose, not wondering what I am going to do that day, or what course to play. And having had happen to me what did? Carpe diem. Having personally witnessed 9/11 - I say Never Forget - these people want to destroy us. There remains a WAR on Terror - regardless what our fearless leader Odumba tells us otherwise.
