Burlm47 I like this

Burlm47 is a 61 year old married guy from Augusta, Maine, USA.

I like "real" people,not Pretentious ones (you know who you are). I enjoy skiing, golfing, The America's Cup and accounts of bravery (like the Alamo), the movie "300", and my all time favorite movie Patton. The Flying Tigers, good music and good Stumblers. So coming from Maine, it is the simple things that give me pleasure. As far as my avatar goes, I guess this is the real me.
