I was born in Lynchburg, Virginia, in February, 1950. I spent my childhood years at the movies, in front of the TV and listening to the radio. Sometimes all at once!
I'm a Magistrate. That's a judicial officer, "almost" a judge, though, NOT a Your Honor! I issue arrest warrants, search warrants, set bail, and things of that nature. Sometimes, when I'm fortunate, I get to 'trod the boards' of the local theaters and show off my thespian tendencies.
My oldest son, David (Jr.), is married to Shannon (my lovely daughter-in-law), and they have my TWO, LOVELY granddaughters: BRITTANY LEIGH GLASS, age 12, who has grown up before your very eyes here on the web, and AMY MICHELLE GLASS, age 8. AND, HUNTER MICHAEL GLASS, who is 6. My youngest son, Jon, is married to my other lovely daughter-in-law, Matthea, and they are the proud parents of KATHERINE MARGARET GLASS, age 1, and the newest addition, CARTER MATTHEW GLASS, born April 1, 2006. Jon graduated from
Liberty University in Lynchburg, and graduated from
Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. He's Pastor at Ca-Vel Baptist Church, Roxboro, NC. Becky, my wife of 33 years, is the best thing (next to Jesus!) that ever happened to me. The other girl in my life is my daughter, Sarah, who has provided grandchild number 5, Alberto Richard Angel Pagon, born on January 12, 2005. You cannot have too many grandchildren!
"Dave's outrageous sense of humor was obvious even at 6 years old..."
Well, that's enough about me. If you're like me, you want to get to them HOT LINQUES

These are DAVE'S LINQUES-O-PLENTY. A bunch of my Bookmarks, running the gamut from anything to everything, and in no particular order, except for being from earliest marked to the most recent additions. These aren't ALL of my Bookmarks. None of the linques are listed here to necessarily advocate any particular views. Shucks, I believe everyone ought to be able to make a fool of themselves. If you click on one and it's dead/gone/changed/not found - please let me know!
Have some consideration for the people around you, and those you meet every day. Think about the other person, and you've brightened their day along with yours.
Hate causes stress and takes up too much of your time and talents.
When you're in a movie theater, you're not in your giant living room! Please be quiet! Okay?
Never trust anyone who smiles all the time.
My mama used to say "Everything always works out for the best in the end!" She was right, 'cause it has for me for the past
55 years. The Bible even says so (so to speak [with certain conditions]).
Never give anyone a reason to wish you didn't exist.
When you drive in the rain or snow, day or night, TURN ON YOUR HEADLIGHTS!
Your parents were once just as smart as you are now.
Always drive as if the other drivers are trying to kill you.
Women drunk drivers are more foul-mouthed and nasty than men drunk drivers, but neither sex think they've done anything wrong!
Girls, if your husband or boyfriend beats you (this includes choking, slamming up against a wall, throwing you on the floor/ground, or, down the stairs), he probably watched his mother get beat like he's beating you. He'll continue it, too! GET SOME HELP! It takes a real MAN to beat up a woman.
Why don't the people working the drive-thru at fast food restaurants make a mistake in my favor? They ALWAYS leave something out, they never add something extra!
Shoplifters often have the money on them to pay for what they took.
I've never had an accused murderer in front of me who was "glad they did it".
Grandaddy's is brought to you by me, and we're the OLDEST PERSONAL HOMEPAGE out of Lynchburg, VA. That, and 75 cents will get you a cup of coffee.
Thanks to all of you folks who've linked me with your pages. I need all the publicity I can get!
A special thanks to Joe Williams, who's given GRANDADDY a 'favorable plug' in his book, Entertainment on the Net, published by QUE. A fine internet-related publication. If you have the means, I recommend acquiring one soon.
See 'ya next update!
