A couple paragraphs all about me... Alas, where is inspiration when I need it?

Well, I guess for starters I'm a boy scout. No, not the kind that put ants under magnifying glasses or use newts for base-ball practice or who do dangerous things with fire (o.k., so playing with fire is fun... but so far, I haven't burned down anything I didn't intend to...). I mean the trustworthy, loyal, helpful friendly types who walk little-old ladies across the street. I'm also one of those that loves to go hiking, camping and otherwise spend time outdoors when possible.

Oh, but I'm not the suicidal type... which means jumping out of perfectly good airplanes, or off of perfectly good bridges with a bungee cord tied around my legs or other similar foolishness isn't something you'll catch me doing.

I'm also a bit of a Star Wars fan. I guess what I mean by that is I'm not the casual fan who knows who "Darth Vader" is... rather, I can tell you who said, "He's the brains." (Han Solo,in Episode IV: A New Hope, to Princess Leia in the hall outside the prison cells in detention block AA-23). I think I should probably stop there... but, please, don't take me as being completely obsessed. I have not changed my name to "Luke Skywalker"... nor do I have any star wars costumes... nor can I speak any star wars languages. So, you see, on a scale of 1-10, I'm really only about a 7 or 8 on the obsessed with starwars meter. Everyone needs a hobby... right???

I'm also a... well, I guess I should just say it... I'm a lawyer. Yes, yes, that means that after escorting the little-old lady across the street and telling her all about the latest Star Wars Book, I should be looking for ways to convince her to hire me to sue somebody... anybody... for anything. But, I'm not that kind of lawyer. I am a free speech lawyer... so I tend to help people fight City Hall.

What else should I say? I'm a generally nice guy... I have a dog... Jack. How about this... if you have any suggestions on what more I should put in here, write me and let me know. Thanks for reading.

Oh, for what it's worth, I have survived a long time with everyone convinced of two things: 1) I can't spell; and 2) I can't cook. To the extent spelling errors appear in this, I refer you to #1 (but note, I took a spelling quiz on this here website and aced it - so maybe I can spell afterall...). As for the second, well, I'm learning (just not very quickly).

I am smart alecky, opinionated, and geeky

Trying to broaden the protections of Freedom of Speech rights under the Federal Constitution. Trying to publish a board game and novel series based on it (with the help of my associates). Trying to teach my dog to walk on a leash. Reading up on the Knights Templar. Trying to stay caught up on all the star wars books published to date.

I'm generally pretty good at problem solving... quickly getting to the heart of the issue, and then working towards a solution. The problem is that, often, there are problems that people don't necessarily want "fixed"... and so I need to work on not trying to solve every problem.

Otherwise, I'm good at building fires... ones with more flame than smoke and which work really well for roasting marshmellows. I'm also good at quoting star wars; spotting barely-visible deer trails; and... I'm sure I'm missing some things...

I don't look like 1) a lawyer; or 2) that I'm in my late twenties.

At least, that's what I think they notice about me... you'd really have to ask them, to be honest.

Well, generally, if you want to talk about anything I've mentioned here, by all means and message me. If you took either of my tests and have a question about an answer or think I screwed up.
