Did you know??
(or, more importantly, did you care?)    

My hometown is La Porte City, Iowa (population 2,251).  

I now live in Frostburg, Maryland (population 7,823).      

The Iowa Corn Song is not the official state song of Iowa!  

If your travel plans include the Czech Republic, try visiting Spillville, Iowa  

I collect insulators (the things you see on the top of telephone poles).    

If you need something to cheer you up, try Dancing Reindeer!    

My favorite team is the Iowa Hawkeyes (except for when they play Drake).  Go Hawks!

My alma mater is Drake University. Go Bulldogs!  

If you can't find me in July, I am probably riding RAGBRAI across Iowa.

My favorite Rails to Trails are The Great Allegheny Passage, The Western Maryland Rail Trail, The Cedar Valley Nature Trail, The Root River Trail and The Elroy-Sparta Trail.

When I die, be sure to come and join in the Jazz Funeral.
