40 things about me
- 1) I was born and raised in Logansport IN
- 2) I have been married to the same woman for over thirty years (how does she do it???)
- 3) I have two wonderful daughters
- 4) I am an electrical engineer
- 5) I attended Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology for my freshman year but transferred to and graduated from Purdue University
- 6) I have been issued six U.S. Patents
- 7) I am a licensed hot air balloon pilot
- 8) I love gliding along five feet (or maybe less) above the trees
- 9) And the challenge of navigating to an acceptable landing site using nothing but the wind.
- 10) I have been in all 50 states
- 11) and stayed overnight in all but Rhode Island, Delaware and Washington.
- 12) I have been in 21 countries
- 13) I have lived in 3 states and one foreign country (France).
- 14) Living in France while interesting was also very annoying.
- 15) I love to travel and see new places
- 16) I find some museums interesting (military history, technology or engineering) but others (modern art, “popular” culture) utterly boring.
- 17) I like dogs but not cats
- 18) I played the clarinet in the band and sang in the choir in high school
- 19) I like to sing
- 20) But hate it when other people sing out of tune (I ignore it when I am out of tune
- 21) I HATE hypocrisy
- 22) Especially people that whine about the things that give them the economic wherewithal to complain (they hate big trucks on the highway but demand fresh fruit at their market – they hate that factories are closing and taking away all of the high paying jobs but they want to go to Wal-Mart and buy a $49 DVD player.)
- 23) I hate having people condescend to me even more.
- 24) I like watching sports on television
- 25) I hate watching shows and/or movies that are supposed to be real where the writers are too lazy to check their facts or violate basic physical laws.
- 26) I admire creative people
- 28) I am disappointed by people who don’t take responsibility for their own actions.
- 27) I am puzzled by smart people who don’t use their intelligence
- 29) I have the ability to visualize three dimensional objects but not always the skill to build them
- 30) I don’t like to be around people who always try to “top” everything mentioned in the conversation (they’ve seen a larger one, they know somebody who has a faster one, they attended the event that was better). These people annoy me.
- 31) I like to read (the newspaper, science fiction, Tom Clancy military/technical thrillers)
- 32) Sometimes I read too much.
- 33) I like to drive
- 34) I hate to ride in a car with someone else driving
- 35) I procrastinate too much
- 36) I have a phobia about visiting the dentist.
- 37) I learned to ski when I was 36.
- 38) I haven’t skied in 10 years (Indiana is way too flat)
- 39) I don’t mind heights, nor tight spaces, but ABSOLUTELY abhor speaking in public.
- 40) I once took an F on an oral book report rather than stand in front of the class and present it.
