Who R U?


A while back Garfish mentioned he lked the idea of getting to know some of us better.As no one has started a thread like this before I will take the plunge.I have been involved in and read many heated exchanges here in AudioGon.I hope no one attacks me for this thread saying "who cares about you,this is audio" Anyway,Im 45 and live in W.N.Y.I have never been married but have a music loving 11 year old daughter who lives with me.I have been a nurse for 20 years.Before that I was a Navy Corpsman for several years.I recently became engaged (first time) to a beautiful 30 year old music loving woman.At my age a 30 year old is a keeper and I have never been happier!! My other interests??Im into vinyl,who has time for anything else??

I'm 36, married recently, and have an understanding wife who looks at me like like I'm more than a little crazy whenever I tell her about my latest purchase/discovery in regards to this insane hobby of ours. However, in the immortal words of Ferris Bueller, "I catch her digging the ride" sometimes. My Mother was Irish and my Father was Italian, so I really had no choice about growing up and loving music. I caught the Beatle bug at the tender age of 7 and never looked back. My oldest sister married an audiophile when I was 10, so you can see how all of these ingredients in the same bowl can really leave you with little choice but to be afflicted with this hobby(illness).
To make matters better(worse?), I'm a systems designer for a home theater/ audio company in Cherry Hill,New Jersey.
I LOVE MY JOB!
Thanks for the welcome folks. I must confess that there was a little period between two channel and home theater when things weren't so charming, but things are much better now.
It's a bit like the stock market nowadays. Short term insanity vs. long term rewards.
Thanks again for the welcome!
