~A famous person in my family history is William Cullen Bryant, but he's not too famous, because I bet you've never heard of him~
~I love to write poetry and short stories and now I'm getting into scrapbooking~
~I love Coca-cola, popcorn, raspberries and Sam's Club soft pretzels~
~I've been married to Pat for nearly three years now and we've been a couple for nine+ years~
~We bought a two-bedroom house in South St. Paul in 2005 and share our living space with our two dogs and a cat~
~Yes, it's quite a zoo, but we love it~

You are introverted, reserved, and quiet with a preference for solitude and solitary activities. Your socializing tends to be restricted to a few close friends. You are generally calm and composed, reacting moderately well to situations that most people would describe as stressful. A desire for tradition does not prevent you from trying new things. Your thinking is neither simple nor complex. To others you appear to be a well-educated person but not an intellectual. You have a strong interest in others' needs and well-being. You are pleasant, sympathetic, and cooperative. You are reasonably reliable, organized, and self-controlled.
