enjoy a good drink, a good joke and good fight.............

We all know by now that I do not drink, I have not had a drop since 1983 and I thank God each and every day for my sobriety.

A good joke, always or at least almost always. Nothing like a good laugh especially when things around you can be a little chaotic and stressful

A good fight? Not for this guy, I am a lover not a fighter and besides that whenever there is a fight someone always gets hurt. There is enough suffering in this world without adding to it.

FAQ's

Almost anything with the exception of Rap and Hip Hop. Not overly crazy about punk rock either but on occasion there have been few exceptions to that one.

I am partial to Classic Rock, Oldies, Country, Gospel (Country and Contemporary) and of course, Irish Music!

Nothing like a nice Irish ballad from an Irish tenor, though there have been some wonderful women who can sing some lovely Irish tunes as well.

FAQ's

I work a day job as a freelance consultant for a server hosting company in their Engineering Department handling infrastructure issues and special projects.

No, I am not an engineer by any stretch of the imagination, just a self taught computer technician who somehow has managed to become very good at what he does.

FAQ's

About 4 years ago I got introduce to blogging and I saw that it could be rather interesting to say the least and around that same time I had come up with the name "Portly Irishman" and a lot of folks got a chuckle out of it. Additionally I get jokes in my email on a DAILY basis from all over the place and I would share them with many of my friends, relatives and acquaintances with many, many positive results.

FAQ's

This is asked of me often......

And the answer is.................

NO...............

I know, I know.............

"An Irishman that don't drink? What has this world come to?"

Good question folks and I am the first one to tell you that it surely sounds like a contradiction in terms to say the least. I was a drinker at one time many many moons ago and I quit drinking at a very early age, just a few months shy of my 19th birthday.

How did you come up with the name Portly Irishman?

FAQ's

Very good question!

This little nickname came about a few years ago after I had sustained some health issues and my weight had ballooned up to nearly 250 pounds and let me tell you that is not a good thing for a Mick of my height, I am barely 5' 6" tall!

Needless to say I am basically not that much taller than a leprechaun and that is definitely a bit of weight to be carrying around. Besides that I kind of liked the name and it helps to start some conversartions.
