MEMBER SINCE: February 2004

occupation: High Tech

makes me happy: my daughter, surfing, going out to dinner, hitting corners at high speed.

into: Girls, soccer, surfing, geek gadgets, motorcycles, fast cars.

sign: Capricorn

body mods: Holes, ink (not much of either), various broken bones and scars.

i lost my virginity: A long long time ago, in a galaxy far far away!

makes me sad: The negative effects of most organized religions, the state of politics and politicians here in America, localism.

fantasy: Retiring and being able to surf my way around the world (that's several decades away!), '67 AC Cobra with a 427.

most humbling moment: 2 of them. One was when I learned how to mountain climb in the Swiss Alps, the other was when I looked through a real telescope at an observatory. We are pretty small in the grand scheme of things!

gets me hot: Girls, girls, girls! Good Scotch (not too much, now!), a relaxing evening at the beach in the summer, the fireplace when it's raining.
