I could go into the story of my life here. I could regale you with tales of a childhood in Connecticut, a long and difficult climb through 3 universities, or my current struggles with finding a rewarding career in today's recessionary job market. I could tell you that I have a guinea pig named Scrapple who answers to "Pigpig", and a turtle named Clarice who would probably be much happier in Lum's pond than a tank in my living room. But instead I'll just say that I'm just your average post-apocalyptic survivor (read:divorced guy), looking for some good conversation that doesn't include the phrase, "So when can we expect payment?"

I have one son that I hope someday to see. The ex-wife got full custody - she had a much better lawyer than I did. She won, and I played the part of Saint Dismas ...

I am so rich that I would have an intern go out on the first few dates and file an extensive report in the morning. I would then have corporate look at the report, boil it down into a paragraph and prepare 67 charts and figures, determining my long term sustainability cost-benefit analysis. No, not really. But I do like coffee. If you like I can prepare a chart to determine how much I like coffee. But I'd have to file it with corporate in the morning.

In the meantime, I'm looking for someone to join me in updating my photos. The recent snow makes for wonderful scenery, but my camera doesn't have a timer. Mutual photography anyone?
