I am romantic, well read, and a bit shy.

My Self-Summary

I grew up with five sisters, and a rule that I could never hit a girl. This didn't work out so well for me, though they all enjoyed it. We get along much better now that we are "adults." Of course, we aren't competing for the bathrooms or the use of my older sister's 1963 Chevy Biscayne Sedan any more, either. One is older, the other 4 younger, and their names all start with "S." My parents agreed that dad would name the girls, and mum would name the boys, except for the first one. Heh.

I read a lot, tending towards history and science fiction, am at least a hanger on at a number of Boston area Sherlock Holmes societies, and have a good enough memory that I'm a terror at non-sports trivia... I won a bit of money the last time I was in London at the trivia machines they have in bars there, though I had to team up with locals for all the footbal questions.

Recently moved into a house, the grass keeps growing and growing. My current nemesis is the forsythia bush that is attempting to take over my back yard.

What I’m doing with my life

I am fighting the forsythia bush, working to modernize the place I work (I'm the resident computer geek, so I work with our machines and also help everyone with their home boxes).

I am trying to get used to yardwork after moving from a condo into this house..

I am trying to put things away.
[UPDATE] I am no longer trying to put things away. I do have a room with boxes that I sometimes open to see what clothing from the 90's are in there though.

I’m really good at

Breaking things. Well, not intentionally, but these things happen. I'm also very good at listening to people, at least on my good days.

The first things people usually notice about me

My hair has been going gray since I was 25... there's only a bit of my original brown left.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

My favorite book is currently Infinity Hold by Barry Longyear which is a science fiction novel about law, justice, and what happens when you dump all the prisons on Earth into a desert. I'm also a big fan of Lois Bujold's novels, as well as quite a few other things.

I liked The Incredibles, Star Wars IV-VI (my favorite being The Empire Strikes back), and a lot of Film Noir, Double Indemnity (Fred MacMurray as a bad guy, very good, Maltese Falcon, The Big Sleep, I have an entire section of my DVD jukebox with my favorite Noir's...

I used to be new wave, now I've drifted a bit folk, favorite new artists Jackie Greene and K.T. Tunstal, older the Jayhawks and an old girlfriend turned me on to The Sons of the Never Wrong. This year I've really liked She & Him Vol.1 and saw them out in North Hampton. The two hour drive each way isn't something I'd do again on a weeknight, but the show was great.

The six things I could never do without

-Iced Tea
-A handy book (I bought a kindle 2 with a chunk of my tax refund, its even better to have a few dozen handy books)
-Pasta
-Someone around who can sing better than I (that's most people, really)
-Being able to put the top down
-Sleep (hey, I'm running out of ideas)

I spend a lot of time thinking about

What I'm going to have for dinner. I find I don't cook too much though, as I end up throwing stuff out. I make a pretty decent pasta sauce, and I was a short order cook for a few years.

At work, we start discussing lunch at 10am.

I also spend a lot of time thinking about things that I have to do, but never remember any of it unless I write it down.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I'm a big enough math geek that I think this web toon is hilarious:

You should message me if

you appreciate both the Three Stooges and Dennis Miller, can take a pun or counter-pun, or you need someone who can parallel park. Or you need someone who can spell parallel, on most days.
