moo. i'm a pig.

My passion is ...

Motocross, physics, and the pursuit of UNDERSTANDING. So, I guess, just physics. Motocross is Newtonian, and Understanding is quantum-mechanical.

I know too much about ...

Everything - but nobody believes me! Hehe!

My parents always told me ...

Mom: "You're going to be rich" - but my wife will tell you I have no concept of money! Dad: "Don't do that!"

My childhood ambition ...

I was gonna be a fireman or a cowboy. Hehehehehe!

My favorite memory ...

One night, in the darkness, my wife and I were looking into each other's eyes and saw something like "energy" leap between us. No kidding. I think it was God welding us together!

Why I write ...

Because I must.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

I read about dogs, sci-fi and fantasy; watch Battlestar, The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad, Futurama - geez, I'm an escapist!

My first job ...

Trimming pineapples in a cannery on Maui.

My best moment ...

When I thought for sure , this time, I was dying - but I lived. This happened twice!

My inspiration ...

God. Only God.
