An amateur racer, he hits the track on weekends with his 10-cylinder Dodge Viper--a nerve-racking hobby for his wife, the mother of his two young kids.

...practicing heterosexual, I rarely, if ever, have problems with a lady, dressed up like a nurse. This time, however, the 18-22 year old women were not there only for my benefit, but were rather celebrating Halloween as Elle Driver, a.k.a. California Mountain Snake, a member of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad of Kill Bill fame. Depending on the formulations, she was accompanied by some variation on Cottonmouth, Copperhead, Black Mamba and Cottonmouth’s bodyguard Go Go Yubari.
