OK, I’m getting the feeling that people think I am a rather unhappy, frustrated and pissed off dude. I’m really not. I just tend to write about things that piss me off. This is probably why mopsa calls me the “rant man”. Yes, my job here is to rant. In general, I am often misunderstood in electronic communications because I come across much more blunt or emotional than I am. I’m actually not very emotional at all.

So, on to some good things then.

1. Single Malt Scotch. I am an Islay guy. I like the really smokey scotches. My favorites are Lagavulin and Ardbeg. I also like Bowmore and Laphroaig. It’s a bit of an acquired taste, but once so acquired, the shit rocks.

2. I am a bit of a gamer. Currently I’m playing World of Warcraft. I also have Far Cry and Half-Life 2 going right now. It’s kind of funny that a guy who is a father and studies astrophysics plays video games, but I do and I like it. It’s what I do when my wife zones out in front of the TV.

I’ll just mention those two for now since I should probably pepper something positive in here every now and then lest you all think I am an ever cursing ogre.

Smiles, people, smiles!
