Don Langston
I am a married father of 4 living in Bigelow, Arkansas about 25 miles NW of Little Rock. I have a passion for photography, writing, travel, and learning about everything. I have an extensive background in construction and maintenance. I am an avid do-it-yourselfer, and am currently a facilities/operations manager for 3 restaurants in Little Rock. I view my greatest responsibility as being a responsible parent who thinks my greatest duty is to prepare my children to support themselves while being responsible citizens in the adult world. I love to investigate and find the answers to the questions that anyone might ask when discovering something new or different. My wife refers to me as 'having a brain full of useless information, in a Cliff Clavin kind of way', but she has discovered that I come in handy in more ways than one around the house and at work. I travel Arkansas weekly, meeting all kinds of people, while riding with my wife who contracts as an independent registered nurse covering a 200 mile radius of Little Rock. Getting to spend most of my time with my best friend makes me the most blessed and happiest person you'll ever meet. Please subscribe to my blog at blogthoughts.donlangston.com to follow my adventures and explore my thoughts. Happy reading, Don
