Lived in Port A for several years (had an office in Corpus until 06) and enjoy fishing, particularly offshore.  Other than Wild Turkey Whiskey, deep sea fishing is biggest addiction, having owned a couple of offshore sportfishing boats.  Travel quite a bit around the USA, Europe, Mexico, Canada, etc.  Like to hunt deer, hogs, dove and quail in South Texas and elk in New Mexico and Colorado.   About to abandon golf.  Can’t get under a 10 handicap, so considering surrender.  One other great passion in life (besides wife, Annette) is Texas Longhorn Football.  If the ‘Horns are doing good, all is well.  Everything being considered, have been blessed and life has been good.  God willing, intend to continue trial practice another seven years for a total of 50, before retiring back to Port A.
