Interests

  • General

    Spirituality (particularly Anglican/Episcopalian matters), politics, news/current events, games of all sorts, especially card games, kakuro/cross-sums, and sudoku, video games, music, technology, patents, exercise Family sightings:
  • Music

    CCM, disco, pop, Celtic. Favorites include Marie Digby, Nichole Nordeman, Chris Tomlin, Superchic[k], MercyMe, Salvador, Bad Religion, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, the Corrs.
  • Movies

    Dramas, thrillers. Actually I like all kinds of movies, so it's hard for me to narrow it down to a few favorites. Not that these are necessarily my favorites, but the following seem to stick out in my mind: The Negotiator, the Matrix movies, the X-Men movies, the American Pie movies, and the Austin Powers movies (though I have not seen Goldmember yet). Ok, so it seems I like sequels. I might be the only person I know who owns, but has never watched, Jurassic Park.
  • Television

    Veronica Mars, 24, Alias, Smallville, Buffy, Angel, Food Network (30 Minute Meals, Good Eats, Iron Chef America), American Idol. I'm also into those forensic science shows they have on TruTV.
  • Books

    The DaVinci Code, various books by John Shelby Spong. I have also liked the Dragonlance series. Though, nowadays my reading tends more toward magazines, as I find it easier to read in small chunks at a time. I probably get about 10-15 magazines a month.
  • Heroes

    My wife, my parents. St. Thomas (aka Doubting Thomas), for teaching me that you can have faith and still have questions.

About me:

My wife and I have two beautiful daughters...Madison is 6 years old, and Kylie is 2. I grew up in Michigan; we now live in Minnesota (but I still have lots of family in Michigan). I own a law firm and work as a patent attorney, but for a better idea of who I am, check out the various surveys in my MySpace blog (can you tell I like to fill them out?).

From astrology-numerology.com (so true about me!):

"11-12 Aquarius [Sun]/Pisces [Moon] The combination of your Sun sign and your Moon sign produces a mind that is very original and able to grasp the most vague, ethereal and extreme concepts. The blend mixes friendliness, originality and independence of Aquarius with the emotional sensitivity and imagination of Pisces. You are a person who is naturally persevering and conscientious, being interested in detail, method and order. Your way of reacting to the world is very interesting. You can spend days just dreaming and speculating. You are fascinated by the unusual and the abstract, finding it interesting to take up studies in any number of bizarre topics. Loving to read and study, you may become very well informed on a wide variety of subjects. You lean heavily on your hunches and way out ideas, and you're easily distracted from routine work. You dream a lot and you have an utter faith in the dreams you dream. Your mind can get so far afield on some vaguely related tangent that you may even forget what the task at hand originally was. Your perceptions are so vividly acute that it is often not practical to pay attention to all of them. You live a private life of your own, into which few others ever penetrate. A keen imagination or a sort of mental vision allows you to be good money-maker in a variety of fields; you seem to be able to intuitively realize possibilities and take advantage of them. You success relies on talent and intelligence since you don't project a particularly strong leadership personality. There is a tendency for you to let things drift. At times you should display a more forceful will, but by and large you develop a very pronounced prudence and sense of caution. You can benefit in overcoming or controlling a tendency to accept things in a passive way, or in being too friendly and obliging if others incline to take advantage of your good nature."

You scored as Classical Liberal. You are a classical liberal. You are sceptical about much of the historicity of the Bible, and the most important thing Jesus has done is to set us a good moral example that we are to follow. Doctrines like the trinity and the incarnation are speculative and not really important, and in the face of science and philosophy the surest way we can be certain about God is by our inner awareness of him. Discipleship is expressed by good moral behaviour, but inward religious feeling is most important.

Who I'd like to meet:

I don't know, all kinds of folks. I guess I'd particularly like to meet other Episcopalians, since we're relatively rare in this part of the country. And other parents. Basically, people with something (if not necessarily a lot) in common with me. Here are some kinds of people whom I would NOT like to meet: 1) Webcammers 2) Those promoting work-at-home opportunities 3) Anyone whose profile is limited to something about winning a free Xbox, iPod, Wii, or anything similar. Other than that, I welcome anyone.
