Another List of Things About Me

I used to find these lists of things about bloggers to be incredibly self-indulgent and then I tried doing one and found out that I kind of enjoyed it. Beyond that it occurred to me that it might be interesting to do these periodically and see how I have changed over time.

To expand upon an earlier remark: I have a very broad base of knowledge. I love to read and can comment intelligently upon many things. However, I'd like to be an expert in many more things than I am now.

If you ask me to identify what I am an expert in I am not sure that I have an answer. I need to think about it.

If I had to pick something that I want/need to be an expert in it would be a desire to be an expert father.

I constantly look for things to teach to my children.

I look for books that explain how things work and then read them with my children. It is a great way to learn and teach.

I firmly believe blogging has enriched my life.

Names are important. It irritates me when people screw mine up. It is a common name but I find all often that sales people call me by another common name.

I think that I am going to be exceptionally successful because I can't believe that I won't be. Call me naive, but it just doesn't register that I could be anything else. Later on we'll talk about how to define success.

I have friends that I would die for and those who die for me.

I am extremely self conscious.


My life is different from what I thought that it would be.
