Favorite Thing To Do On A Sunday: Well, if we’re not at an SCA event, I very much enjoy sleeping in and watching movies all day with Sarah.

Favorite Childhood Memory: Back in my parents house where I grew up a typical Sunday involved Mom in the living room reading, Dad mowing the (huge) front lawn, my sister Cassie watching bad afternoon TV, and me playing on my old TI-99/4a computer or Legos. Everything in life seemed so well put together then. :)

Most Embarrassing Moment: I won’t admit this anywhere else: I was probably 15.. maybe 16. I don’t remember. I was futzing around alone at the end of my parent’s house driveway and like out of a Saturday-morning cartoon, I tripped over legs and scraped the heck outta myself on the gravel. I *Thought* I was totally injured so I started bawling like a soar-toothed two-year-old and our next door neighbor Jamie Wills came running down to see if I was okay. At the _exact_ moment he got to me, I realized I was just fine and had to apologize to Jamie. Gawd, I felt like SUCH a big dork.

Happiest Moment: When Sarah answered “Yes.”

Plans For The Future: Continue with my experience-building work in computer & Internet programming, find a great house with Sarah, and even raise children. And as long as Sarah is with me, I’m sure I’ll be quite happy. :)

I linked to UserFriendly. WTF? Turns out programming sucked as a career. Really shows that I wrote this originally 10 years ago. Now: Make Sarah happy, raise a good child, gain XBox Achievement points.

Shampoo Or Conditioner: Conditioner. Its more important to LOOK good than to SMELL good. ::grin::

One Pillow Or Two: One. Sometimes none, depending on how tired I am.

Favorite Type Of Family Game To Play: Well, there’s this game called “Settlers of Catan” that is GREAT, but a typical family game? Hrm. The domino game “Mexican Train” is pretty lively.

10 years ago talking again there. Now, “XBox360”. Has Settlers of Catan built-in, too.
