Hi, everyone. I'm here partly out of curiousity, partly out of the
desire to meet new people. I'm the father of three young ones, and
the owner of three cats, two fish, one puppy, and a snake.
I'm average in height, and build, and weight. I have curly brown
hair and blue/green/grey eyes. Right now I have a boring
bureaucratic job, but before that I was a schoolteacher, and a
restauranteur before that.
I grew up as the son, grandson, and nephew of scientists, and it
kind of stuck. I'm very curious, and sometimes a bit impatient. I
love sci-fi, though I'm starting to get into historical fiction,
thanks to Bernard Cornwell.
I grew up and have lived my whole live in Pennsylvania, save for a
few months after college when I was in Ohio. Vacations are spent in
Maine, though I'd love to see Europe. I've never been there.
I live near Philadelphia, but work in Alexandria, VA. Yes, I know
it's crazy. I only mention it because I'm looking for friends in
either area.
I'm sure I'll find more to add later.....

My Notes edit
My self-summary
What I'm doing with my life
What am I doing with my life? Fighting to keep it. In March, I was
diagnosed with ALS, which stands for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
It's better known as "Lou Gehrig's Disease". It's pretty much
consumed and overshadowed everything else right now.
I'm sure I'll add more here later, when my mind is in a better mood for it.

I'm really good at
Juggling.
Writing.
Decorating cakes.
Cooking.
Getting absorbed in a book.
Editing other peoples' writings.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me
My hair. Somehow I've always been defined by it. It's really curly,
and even though I might know I need it cut, it is usually several
weeks before I get around to it. And my hair doesn't grow down. It
grows out. Think Michael Jackson, age 5.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Oh, gosh, where to start? I really enjoyed Stephen King's
"Gunslinger" series, so much so that I found myself slowing down in
the end of the last book, trying to drag it out, not wanting it to
end. I'm also a big fan of Asimov. Terry Pratchett, of course. I
went through a Dean Koontz phase, followed by a Clive Cussler
phase, but I think I'm over both. I've read a couple of Robert
Ludlam works, and I liked what I read. Mark Twain, Lewis Carroll,
Robert Heinlein, Dan Simmons, Douglas Adams, Ray Bradbury, George
R. R. Martin...basically, if it's fiction, I'll read it. As far as
movies are concerned, it's easier to list what I don't like. I
don't like horror, I don't like chick flicks (usually. Sleepless in
Seattle was good.), I don't like anime (except for
Mira...Mika...what's his name, the guy who did Spirited Away), and
I generally don't like period pieces (again, there are exceptions,
like Braveheart). Monty Python, Mel Brooks. Star Wars goes without
saying (episodes 4-6, again without saying). Indiana Jones,
anything by Pixar. Firefly & Serenity.I love going to the
movies, and I'm not above sneaking in to see a double feature.
The six things I could never do without
Books, friends, beef, fresh-squeezed orange juice, springtime, milk
chocolate, writing implements, my kids. Not necessarily in that
order.
Oh, did it say "six"? Tough.

I spend a lot of time thinking about
ALS, friends I haven't seen in a long time, friends I haven't seen
in a short time, my grandparents.
On a typical Friday night I am
Home. Every other week or so, several of us gather for game night.
It's often poker (hold 'em), but it may also be Settlers of Catan,
this pirate game that Wizards of the Coast created, Monopoly, or
whatever else we happen to pull off the shelf that night.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit here
Even though I can't sing out loud, I sing in my head.
My most common daydream involves the ability to fly.
