| Not So Random Thoughts... | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Was there ever a time in your life that you had to "Think Different?" What was the situation and what did you do? | |||
| When I lost my job as a Geophysicist. I did lots of things - odd jobs, and got back in by accepting a position far "below" my previous level. Never regretted it. | |||
| How has using the Macintosh computer changed your life? | |||
| Its power allows me to do large amounts of work at home. | |||
| What is the weirdest thing in your office right now? | |||
| I am SO BORING! It's probably some red chilis from New Mexico drying under some drop lights. | |||

| Breasts, women, sex, children (not related to the first 3), spirituality, motorcycles, wilderness, family, playing pool | |||
| If you could have dinner with one person dead or alive who would that person be and what would you ask them? | |||
| Clinton - "Why do you 'dumb down' your interaction with the American people when you could be leading them into the future? If Kennedy was your idol, why aren't you taking his lead? (You know, you don't HAVE to get shot.)" | |||
| Do you play a musical instrument and/or are you in a band? | |||
| Nupe. | |||
| When I grow up I want to be: | |||
| Wise. | |||
| The question never asked: | |||
