I Love the Open RoadHeading out on the road in the morning for a two-week driving trip. Destination is somewhere in the Southwest, but there's no particular itinerary.
I Like Road TripsI'm taking one this week and next, driving to the Southwest. I know it will be sunny, I just hope it will be warm.
I Am Glad People Can't Read My ThoughtsMore like glad that the idiots masquerading as authorities can't read them. At least not yet, since I'm pretty sure that somewhere they've got scientists working on the problem. While I may not do anything illegal, boy do I have these thoughts!
I Want To Live To An Old Age [Old Age]I kind of expect to. In this new economy, we probably shouldn't even think about retiring until we're at least ninety.
I Need a VacationAt least one every week! And to think my work has me traveling to places almost every month where people pay big money to go.
I Remember Life Before the InternetYeah, we didn't waste nearly as much time on all this nonsense. Hell, back in the days when dinosaurs roamed the earth we used to get a lot more things done.
I Want to Go On a Road TripHeading out on another one in a couple weeks. Anybody want to go see the Southwest?
I Don't Like WinterAnd, I live only a few hours from Frostbite Falls! It's not going to get out the freak... freeze... frigid sub-zero temps for the next week.
I Drank Alcohol Before I Was 21When I was a child, my parents would occasionally give me a shot glass of beer with a meal. I didn't think it was a big deal. But, for the longest time, I always wondered why I could never order one at restaurants.
I Am On the Computer Too OftenI need it for my work, so there's several hours there. And, then there's catching up with the news, family and friends. Did I mention fun?
I Love Fireworks On New Years EveBest ones I've ever seen were in Sydney harbor. Those Aussies really know how to put on a good show as well as make it feel like an up close and personal event, despite over a million people there.
I Never Said I Was NormalAs I tell people, Normal is just a city in Illinois. I may drive through from time to time, but I sure wouldn't want to live there.
I Want to See the Aurora BorealisI've actually seen it a few times. Once just outside my bedroom window. Was that a great night!
I Like Hiking In the RainAs long as it's a warm one. It's not so much fun if I'm not prepared for it. But, when I am, it can be truly sensuous.
I Take PicturesI often do for my work, illustrating articles I write. But, sometime, I take them just because I want to. Over the years I guess I've gotten pretty good. I've been in and on many magazines and won contests.
I Actually Mean What I SayAs a writer who loves to play with words, I often use in conversation those which have multiple meanings. But, in my work, I need to be very precise with what I say. Almost all the time you can take me very literally.
I Am a JournalistI write for a living. While I'm not widely and my articles mostly appear in boring science publications, it's nice to see my byline online and in print. And, though I may never be the equal of Woodward and Bernstein, there's a deep satisfaction in a...See More »
I Need To Be Silly SometimesI'm trained as a scientist and tend to be serious both in and outside of my work. All too often I take things too literally. Sometimes I need a friendly nudge.
I Am Not Where I Wanted to Be At This AgeBut, I doubt if I will ever be. There's still many more things to do, places to see and, to my last breath, I'm sure I'll always be running behind.
