Ouch. Hey! I really don't resemble "Ponch." Bad hair day, I guess. Time for a new scooter family portrait (looking for a pic where I don't look like Ponch... ...uhhh...)

Cool pad; love the banquette.
The Buddy looks right at home indoors. You should make that its permanent home.

The white seat and grips look great, too!

During the day, I work at a community college as an IT fix it kinda guy...all the while honing my photoshop skillz. This was done by a co-worker though.

At night I'm a father, husband, drummer, guitarist, pez collector, fantasy football nitwit, landscaper, Battlefield 1942 gamer, TV watcher, and frisbee thrower to our Cattle Dogs among other things... 8)

<------------ This is me in real life. You can't see it in this picture, but my hair was pulled back in a ponytail. (It was about mid-back in length at the time; currently it's just past my shoulders.) I'm a licensed massage therapist with my own practice, a photographic assistant to my wife (who has HER own photography business), and a bus driver for my local school district. I like Macs. I don't like lima beans. I'm a Mason; I'm not a handyman (well, not much of one anyway.)

Heh. :lol:

Actually, it means I use really big data sets and statistical software and economic theory to find what determines how much people get paid (among other things). At night I get paid to dance with a tray of lit candles on my head. (And also teach other women how to have fun dancing.)

And yeah, I balance a mean checkbook, and my DH is a big fan. 8)

Hello, Team. I am Stephen, and I've lived in Kansas City, Missouri (apart from some time in Sri Lanka, England, St. Louis, and Los Angeles) since I was about 9 years old. I was born about an hour north of here, in St. Joseph, MO.

I've got a few things going on:

This is me from a recent photoshoot

I model.
I'm a seamstress and make mostly purses and bags.
I'm a quilter, specializing in art quilts.
I make natural lip balm, flavored and unflavored, colored and uncolored.
I make keychains and all kinds of other pendants.
My household has 2 dogs, 1 cat, 1 hybrid vehicle, 1 motorcycle and 1 scooter.
I believe "going green" is our future.
