Chris @ Wheeler Peak
Me, Bull-of-the-woods meadow, en route to Wheeler Peak, Northern New Mexico, 1992.
I've always been motivated by excitement, change - the chance to learn something new. If I can learn something and throw it back out, apply it to the world in some fashion, I'm having a good day. It's frequently a Chris-loving universe.

Major Drags: 

  • Long Meetings
  • Frequent Meetings
  • The word "facilitate"
  • Power-hungry money-grubbing back-stabbing boot-licking control freaks
  • nooklir eyenyeuhlashun
  • "it's" versus "its". "It is" = "it's". "Belonging to it" = "its". Not Rocket Science.
  • "indeed", "rather", "in addition to", "due to", "basically", "lame", "rules", "rocks"
Leanings:
  • Leftist, humanist, moralist. Pick two.
  • Hiking boots (Merrell; avoid cheap 'bargain' boots at places like Target, Wal-Mart. I mean duh, but really. My arches are killing me!).
  • T-Shirts, emblazoned. Blue jeans, well-aged.
  • Thinking. Compassion. Correctness.
  • Caitlin (13ish), Kip (9ish)
It's a Geek Thing:
  • Juggling
  • Comix (I need Howard-the-Duck, selected issues of Normalman, and Camelot 3000. Email me for exact issue numbers)
  • Star Wars (my secret shame)[note - the original version of this page was written pre-Episode 1. After two boring movies, Lucas has finally killed my joy of his universe. Yay, Georgie.]
  • The Simpsons
  • FreeBSD
  • Blinking lights and soft boop-beep noises
That which I'd be doing above all else, given limitless bounds of money and energy:
  • Growing flowers on my grandparents' Eastern Ohio farm. [note - yup, this dream's dead, too - an Amish family bought the farm from my grandparents, and destroyed it through overgrazing ]
