My Doughnut Hole

Name:
Location: Huntsville, Alabama

I'm a well-traveled former Army brat from New Jersey who's seen most of this country (and Canada) except the Pacific Northwest, Rockies, and upper New England. I have a Bachelor's Degree from Middle Tennessee State University in Mass Comm and I'm a Democrat. (And in spite of all the mythology coming from the dark side, we're not all liberals)
