About Me:
I like history, music theater, and I also am a season ticket holder for the Minnesota Vikings, even though I've lived in NYC for a decade, and now live in DC. I have far too many DVDs and Hawaiian shirts. I love traveling, and am aching to go to Alaska and Hawaii to round out my tour of the Fifty... and increase my wardrobe of said shirts. Do they have "Alaskan" shirts? I should pick those up, too.

Testimonials and Comments for Travis
piano I would, but not so much for
musical inspiration as to dress it up in
funny hats.
That is to say, Travis is as much a
musical inspiration as he is a comic
inspiration. And he knows way more
about football than I could ever
contemplate.
If you run into Travis, treat him as you
would any constitutional monarch, but
instead of bowing, buy him breakfast.
And do not engage him in poker.
testimonials, everyone all over his talent
and his kindness and how funny he is
and what a great guy, blah, blah and all
that... What could I possibly add? Yes,
he's all those things, enough to make
mere mortal men turn to envy-paste, but
more to the point, people, he's a hottie,
and I'm not afraid to say it (and I'm not
afaid to say it in a run-on sentence).
Sexy! Let him hear it, yeah! Say it again!
Sexy.
the rivers of Vietnam, battling a nasty
morphine addiction; tortured by conflicting
views about communism and our corrupt
government. No, wait... that was my father.
But seriously, Travis is the kind of guy who
will make you laugh until puke. And it's NOT
just the morning sickness.

know about Travis. First, the last
couple of bites of my meatball sub
tasted like fish. Am I gonna die?
Now, about Travis: First, at my
Halloween costume party he barged
into my bedroom looking like Michael
MicDonald and looking for me. I
wasn't there, but lying on my bed was
some dude and two dudettes. One of
the dudettes had her hand down the
dude's pants.
So Trav barges in, they look up and
gasp in unison, "Oh shit!" Quicker
than the time it takes for
embarassment to register, my man
McDonald whips out his digicam and
blurts, "Don't mind me!--I'm just here
to take your photograph!" Trav then
snaps off a quick shot of them
covering up and spends the rest of
the party showing the image in his
cam, telling the story to all who will
listen, and basically running the trio
out of my house. Good. Nobody has
sex on my bed--including me!
The other thing about Travis
is..the..ah..yeah well, not important.
You'll find out soon
nearly as large as his heart. (which could be a
dangerous medical condition, but in this case just
means he's a warm, caring guy.......rare in these
desperate, color-coded times!)
I've never spent any amount of time with Travis
that didn't turn out to be more fun than it had a right
to be. His hot tub etiquette is as impeccable as his
musical candor is appreciated. He can harmonize
on the slide, as is fitting for any 'Doppler', and
when you're in the middle of butchering a song
that doesn't yet exist, he'll follow you enough to
make it seem like you know where the hell you're
going. Charish him dear, sweet, inquisitive reader.
Don't let him down!
difficult time in both of our lives. I'd
just come off a messy divorce and Travis
was coming to terms with his lack of
sexuality.
I helped Travis to realize that it was
okay not to be gay or straight.
He helped me understand that a diet of
hamburger helper and Domino's Pizza can
not only be affordable and delicious,
but nutritious as well.
Travis is also one of only several
hundred people who have seen me in a
diaper as an adult.
I wish I got to see the bastard more
often - it's been way too long. Still,
as long as those child support checks
keep coming in like clockwork I can't
ask him for much more.
say you're not the ho I-DA-HO!
hold'em with as much blatant disregard
for how their cards work with the board
as Travis does. Yet he's so incredibly
good-natured about it that you just
shrug and laugh. Plus, he plays a mean
piano. That probably helps.
