About Me

My photo
Larry
I'm sarcastic (in case you didn't know), slightly impatient (ha ha), a compulsive workaholic, and reasonably insane. The upside is that I'm immensely passionate about life and fiercely loyal to those I care about. I'm fairly uncomplicated in that what you see is what you get, plus I lack the ability (or the tolerance) to pretend to feel differently than I do. (No poker games for me.) All in all, I'm a pretty good guy. (My grandmother always said so.)
