The revolution will not be televised.

About Me

I write (not type) in all caps quite a bit and I assure you I'm not yelling.
I've knowingly worn socks that didn't match 3 or 4 times in my life.
I don't wear bow ties, but I know how to tie them.
I strongly dislike the inserts in magazines asking for subscription renewal.
I prefer fortune cookie wisdom over Laffy Taffy jokes.
I swim against the tide often, but I'm no anarchist.
I cheat at Monopoly, but never at Scrabble.

My Interests

Involuntary respiration, spending time with family and friends, going to concerts, travel, music, reading, rafting, fishing, visiting national parks, camping, gourmet cooking, home theater systems, consumer electronics, luxury sedans, viewing/attending sporting events, Chicago sports teams, fantasy football, drinking coffee, finely crafted ales, compiling iPod play lists, holidays
