About Me

My photo
Jim Pantaleno
Staten Island, N.Y., United States
Just an average guy from Staten Island lucky enough to be blessed with good health and a wonderful family. Since my golf game is so hopeless, I now spend hours at the computer writing about my life and the things that interest or irritate me. I hope you enjoy reading this blog, and will share your comments. Thanks.
