Sigh...FINE! Due to some insane and continual demands, I am filling out a profile. For a person of my hermitic and anti-social life, this, in a sense, is paramount to having a testicle removed with a rusty cheese grater. None-the-less, I have acquiesced .......
What have I been up to since 1978? Good Lord, I have trouble remembering my name, much less what I have done since 1978.....
I have become older...somehow....I suppose God has a sense of humor...but so far still this side of the sod.
Since graduation, I bribed the staff at a Missouri University (Rolla) and obtained a degree in engineering, which I continue to use for evil and diabolical schemes to rule the world (such as developing an anal anti itch cream that contained turpentine..)...and to pay the bills...
Along the way I did the normal stuff of our modern world. Married, had children (til I figured out where they came from), worked like a dog, divorced, still work like a dog, and in general, have managed to stay out of jail and employed.
Career wise, my motto has basically been to stay a moving target, which has worked for the last 27 years. I work in a foundry, being the resident mad scientist. In my spare time I take photographs of naked animals. When not entertaining myself in the above endeavors, I do other oddities such as garden, work on my vineyard, old tractors, and attempt to kill off a few brain cells with Danny George and our friend, Captain Morgan......and other inane mischief.
I see a bit of the old gang...Danny George, Cathy Woods (Eddins), Walt Landis, and the voices in my head... For the most part, the voices and I are content with tormenting their children and contributing to the deliquincy of any minors that may come around.
My oldest son is back from Iraq. He is now going to the University of Nebraska (I know not why...). The middle son is moving right along in his apprenticeship for HVAC. The youngest, a girl, is 14 going on 35 and is fortunately around to tell me how to run my life, and if anything has just gotten bossier over the last year or so.... What luck....
Other than that, I mostly am involved with developing and maintaining a fear of me among my neighbors and friends. So far, I have been doing pretty well......and if you don't believe me, just ask my neighbor about Y2K and our conversations....
