More Introductions

The profile section of Blogspot here doesn’t offer much space for an introduction, 1200 characters plus some favorites and interests. Because of that I wanted to share more about this endeavor. I posted a few others times on fierce, and why -  and this will give a little more background on me.
I’ve had 3 ½ careers from technical to operations to inspirational/athletics. The half, well I had the training, but never engaged it as a career.

I’ve lived in suburbs, rural areas, small towns, and mountain areas.

I’ve been an athlete since I was a kid and done quite a few sports.

I like cars, dogs, dark chocolate, and good food.

I’ve been married and divorced.

I’ve known true love – and left not knowing what it was – too young to really know. And I agree, it’s better to have loved and lost than never loved.

I’ve been on 5 continents and to 49 states. I’ve been across the country 4 times, twice on a bike.

I’ve put in thousands or hours of work for non-profits and donated tens of thousands of dollars.

A few favorite authors include Robert Fulghum, Edward Abbey, David Deida, Charlotte Kasl, Ken Wilbur, Orson Scott Card, Clive Cussler, and David Whyte.

A few favorite movies are Out of Africa, The Shawshank Redemption, and Meet Joe Black.

A few favorite musicians are Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Sarah Townes, Sarah McLachlan, Lyle Lovett, and Seal.

Deep-dish Chicago pizza rocks and so does fresh caught Pacific Salmon.

I listen to NPR and enjoy Prairie Home Companion, Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me, and CarTalk, but hardly ever read the news.

I believe in a higher power/higher intelligence, what term you want to use. I believed we’re all connected.

I’m awed by the world we live in – the power of nature, the fact that a car actually works, by a fabulous sunset or sunrise, the beauty and depth of the human spirit.

I have a penchant for truth.

I am fairly perceptive, seeing patterns and patterns of patterns. Sort of like Neo see the patterns of the numbers in The Matrix.

I don’t own a cell phone.

I’ve led a truly blessed life! I have certainly made mistakes along the way, but have absolutely no regrets.
