100 things, eventually
I don’t own a computer.- I am a software developer.
- I also don’t own a cell phone, an iPod, a Blackberry or any other piece of battery-powered pocket cruft.
- I am a Gemini. I have no idea what that means.
- I’ve been to all of the former Soviet bloc countries except the three Baltic states.
- I’ve hitch-hiked across the US (up and down and side to side).
- I have hiked down one side of the Grand Canyon and up the other.
- I am moving toward veganism, although I don’t get the not-eating-honey bit.
- I am a good cook and have been known to prepare elaborate meals although I’m just as happy eating a peanut butter sandwich while reading about food. Less washing up too.
- I can’t dance.
- I play the piano and have played the oboe and percussion.
- I like both cats and dogs, but currently have only cats.
- I tend to procrastinate. (I’ll never get up to 100 things.)
- I like crossword puzzles and Sudoku.
- I find it very difficult to throw away anything that might be “useful in the future”.
- I drive a Prius, which recently replaced a VW Golf that I drove for 19 years.
- I’ve had two long-term relationships (besides the one with the Golf).
- And no short ones.
- I have no gaydar. Ellen Degeneres? Who knew? Who’s next? Lance Bass?
- On November 22, 1963, I was sitting in Mr. Hutter’s seventh-grade science class at James Madison Junior High in Appleton, Wisconsin.
- I have a degree in Slavic Linguistics but don’t ask me to tell you what past pluperfect means.
- I could, at one time, speak Russian. It’s been much easier to forget than it was to learn.
- I’m trying (sporadically) to learn Dutch.
- I know how to knit.
- I spent some time on a sort of a commune on an island in British Columbia.
- I have never broken a bone.
- I dislike high places.
- I’ve never been bowling.
- I like county fairs, especially the livestock and agricultural exhibits.
