About

Most of you knew me as "Andy" back in school days - there were so many Michael's around! Even within my family there were too many, so my nickname (from my middle name) was what I went by. Once out of high school, though, I started going by my "real" first name, although I can't really say why.

Favorite saying

• ""Going to the candidates debate...laugh about it, shout about it, when you've got to choose...anyway you look at it you lose!" Simon & Garfunkel, from "Mrs. Robinson" (My personal feeling about politics) "Weight has nothing to do with it!" Professor Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd) "Can't we all just get along?" Rodney King Murphy was an optimist! When all else fails, administer chocolate by mouth Don't breed or buy while shelter pets die. ."
