It took some prompting from Chris (How You Would Know Me) to set up this little exercise where I have to come up with 20 things about myself as a form of introduction. It was pretty fun. But when I look at my list I feel kind of…old.

I did a lot of crazy stuff in my 20’s - a product of the times. I settled down a bit in the 1980’s and focused on the teaching career, my daughter Rebecca, and Alaskan adventures. In the 90’s Amy and I began our family, developed the homestead, and enjoyed the blur of domestic bliss with 2 kids in diapers for 6 years straight. In the first part of the present decade I went after the post grad degree and became an academic nerd. I’m still trying to get past that part.
