James Donald (JD) Guidi Jr.

BIRTHDAY: April 25th

BIRTHPLACE: Sacramento, CA

INTERESTS & HOBBIES: I'm a huge sports fan! Baseball, football and boxing are my favorites. My teams are the SF Giants, The 49ers and my favorite boxer is Joe Calzaghe. In the past few years I have become very interested in the ancient Egyptians. This may sound funny, but I first became fascinated by the Egyptian tombs, religion and way of life when I visited the King Tut exhibit at the Luxor in Las Vegas (I was still sober) in 2005. I've been back every year and always visit King Tut's Tomb. If you're interested as well visit the Rosicrucian museum in San Jose (thanks Lucy). My dream trip is to Cairo or to Macha Picchu in Peru. In my next life I would like to be an archaeologist.

FAVORITE MOTHERLODE HANGOUT: 1. My couch in front of my TV. 2. My fantasy choice would be Ron Olivero's Boatworks Pizza in Sutter Creek. Maybe when Ron retires and get's bored we can talk him into bringing back Boatworks.
