Some of Daniel's many hobbies and favorite activities...

  •  My children Brennan and Reilly
We travel, ride our bikes, watch movies, draw, color, read, laugh, play, go to Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks, ride to church, cook, and play fun and educational computer games.

  •  Intelligent & Stimulating Conversations
Nothing provides greater happiness than a passionate, exciting exchange of thoughts, ideas, dreams and fears..... Sharing openly and honestly about everything under the stars.

  •  Incense, New Age Music, Candles, and a Bubble bath with a Mango Lassi
Soothing sounds of  chanting monks and Middle Eastern music with the exotic scents of Amber incense combined with colored lights, scented candles, Aromatheraputic bath oils, and topped off with a tall refreshing Indian mango shake with a touch of cardamom.  Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh............ the simple pleasures that life has to offer....

  •  Healthy Gourmet Cuisine - Vegetarian & Vegan Cooking

Daniel is an excellent chef, and has been in the process of creating an interactive cook book, specializing in healthy Southwestern recipes.  We love to prepare great meals, usually in courses.... Vegetarian & Vegan cooking is a favourite indeed.... In fact Daniel is working on a new website where your vegan and vegetarian recipes are most welcome!:

Working as a restaurant consultant and aboard a cruise ship a few years ago has enabled Daniel to travel all over the United States and Caribbean.  His travel goals include sailing to the Mediterranean and the South Pacific, and plan eventually to trek to the South Pole, as well as climb in the low Himalayas.

In keeping with Daniel's Irish and English heritage, He seem to enjoy Irish folk music quite a bit, and love to sing the folk songs.

Our musical interests vary quite widely from  Pink Floyd, The Who, David Arkenstone, Dread Zeppelin, Enigma, Chicago, Obituary, Over Kill, BlackHawk, The Moody Blues, Peter Gabriel, The Sundays and Fate's Warning.  We have quite the collection of MP3 files... 14 Gigs or so, about 2500 songs and comedy files... and counting.... 


  •  San Diego Padres Baseball - 1998 Western Division Champs
A happy evening is spent with friends and family at the "Q". 1998 was a fabulous season, but 1999 and 2000 were sorry situations. Such is life, sometimes...  Keep the faith!  www.padres.com Maybe we better become  Giants' fans... (April 27, 2001)
