Dude, I think you are the first person who I have ever encountered who got into Michener. I lost track of how many of his books I have read, although I am sure he has written a few since I lost my eyesight and could not read any more.

America's national parks, travelling, blackjack, hiking, camping, dogs, my wife, Christianity, landscaping my yard, bicycling, my extended family, not being an idiot, and recently cooking. Oh yeah: college football.


EDIT: How could I forget college football?

I suck at that whole "not being an idiot" thing.

My advisor gave me some pointers on my first resume 2 months ago. The dialogue I remember:

Advisor: What is this?
Atomicus: My resume? Remeber you said you'd look it over?
Advisor: I know, I'm just surprised that this... IS IT.
Atomicus: Hmmm.... well what else should I include?
Advisor: Well, most people include INFORMATION. he chuckles
Atomicus: Whats so funny? You're my advisor, help me!
Advisor: Ok ok. See this gap? Add your interests.
Atomicus: OKAY. How? List them with commas?
Advisor: Sure. But it'll probably just read "Likes to stay unemployed, not taking things seriously"
Atomicus: Yea? You know me too well...

I also like gaming, tennis, ping-pong, biking, hiking, and shooting squirrels with my 10mm Deagle BB gun
