Okay, so the good Doctor Bill has tagged me with the "Five Random Things About You That Most People Don't Know" meme.
Bastard...
See the dificulty is, the entire mission of this web site, and several others I have talked about before, is to share my life and opinions with the ether. In the course of said mission, I've talked a hell of a lot about myself, so I don't know how much interesting stuff there is that I havent mentioned...
Ok I know there's lots, but I'm having trouble condensing and refining out discrete elements here...
1. I'm a huge dog AND cat lover, but especially dogs. I happen to like dogs of the "big and scary" variety more than others (Rottweilers, German Shepherds, and Staffordshire Terriers among my favorite); but almost all dogs will do. Unfortunately my condo doesnt allow dogs (Even to visit). We ARE getting a cat for the kids though.
2. I'm a straight man who loves show tunes and musical theater. My fav? The Music Man as performed by Robert Preston.
3. I do wood, leather, and metal crafts. My most recent (and uncompleted) project is some hand finished and woodburned wooden boxes as gifts. I ran out of time before christmas to finish them. The next big project? SCA legal partial plate armor.
4. I played the trumpet and saxaphone as a child, but I got impetigo flareups from the reeds and mouthpieces (the constant moisture against the lips) and had to stop. I replaced them with piano and drums, but stopped those too when I picked up the guitar.
5. I love stuffed animals. I have a three foot high Tigger, various stuffed bears, a couple of penguins (linux geek), and others.
Now I am going to break the rules a bit here, because I don't meme tag people; but if anyone wants to tag themselves comment on it here.
Oh an Doc, more stories about your dad would be appreciated when you feel like posting them.
