Right now I work as a jack of all trades in technology - a consultant/developer/project manager/sales engineer - and get to jet around to random cities where I stay at mediocre hotels and eat at moderately priced restaurants. Huzzah!

My housemate and I just adopted a baby robin. Abandoned by parents after a dog got into the nest, we're seeing if we can keep it alive until it's well enough to fend for itself.

Engineering stuff. I grew up with parents who saw sons as a means of cheap labor. I got a lot of experience with building decks and other wooden structures, home maintenance, yard work and landscaping, keeping my 1990 Ford Aerostar running, and painting the basement as "good character building".

I also make awesome banana bread.

Facial hair. People notice that pretty quickly since it covers a portion of my face. Rule of thumb: When things are on your face, people notice them. Especially now. It's ... well, a 6 month beard will quickly split people into two camps. There isn't much of a middle ground.

Books: Mere Christianity, The Iliad, A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones), anything Bradbury or Asimov

Shows: Doctor Who, Breaking Bad (like everyone else on this site), Burn Notice, Firefly, Archer, IT Crowd. Ron Swanson is the man we can all aspire to be.

Music: The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Offspring, Mumford and Sons, The Black Keys, Bob Seger, Bruce Springsteen, Dropkick Murphys, the list goes on and I will gladly accompany you to a concert of pretty much anything.

Music
Good beer
Hockey (esp. Red Wings)
Whiskey
My car, especially on sunny days
Vernors (if you have not had this, it is the nectar of the gods)

That spot on the carpet. How did that get there?

Collapsing on the couch from a long week. I don't get to sleep in on any day, so every night is and isn't Friday - concerts, going out with friends, etc is interchangeable as far as days go. I guess that means I'm an adult now.

I go to ballets, and not under threat of bodily harm (just saw PNB's Swan Lake, which was amazing). I've also been known to go see Shakespeare, Gilbert and Sullivan, and Wynton Marsalis.

You like books, good beer or scotch/whiskey/bourbon, and conversations about anything from current news to theology/ancient history. Or if hockey players turn you on.

I am looking for other Michigan alumni to hang out with and watch hockey/basketball games - Buckleys tends to be pretty dead after football season ends. Or Red Wings. Need to get back into the swing of that.

Know what? Feel free to message me if you're interested. I won't always follow through, but it takes a lot of guts to make the first move and that's attractive.
