Live and let live.

About Me

About as dysfunctional as anybody else. Each day is a new start. Try as best as possible to learn from my mistakes. Itchy and Scrachy (my kids) are the most important people in the world to me. Everybody deserves love and respect, except for the President, because he's an idiot.

My Interests

Reading, mostly History, Mathematics. Software development. Exercise. Bike riding. Viola. Astronomy. Raising my kids.

Make sure you have all your ducks lined up when you have a mid life crisis -- it makes the event a lot less unpleasant.
