First of all, I enjoy maintaining this site. I wrote all the code (ASP/SQL) myself, just for the hell of it.
I'm not god's gift to coding or anything, but I'm kind of proud of this site.
I write, a lot. Actually writing isn't just a hobby; I'm hoping that when I retire from IT, I
can make it my profession. A good deal of writing is in my various blogs (see "Where Else Can Lothie
Be Found?").
I love to sing. I was a soprano in my
church's choir and in the South Coast Chorale
back in Los Angeles.
I also play a number of instruments, but my voice is my main instrument; I'm just mediocre on everything else.
For a while, I was drawing fantasy characters, but I haven't done that lately. Note to self: start up
with that again!
I knit. I'm not all that great so far, but I've made some pretty pieces; I'd say I'm an
intermediate level knitter now. I crochet, but not all that much. I also make jewelry.
I love to cook, although Chris makes most of our meals because he also loves to cook and because he has
more time. However,
I make bread now and then, and I bought a book called Pie because I love to make pies.
When we lived in LA, I went to a local indoor
range a couple of times a week, to shoot at pieces of paper. I'm not all that accurate but I really enjoy myself; I bought a
gun and I've already scoped out
the one I want next, a Beretta Tomcat.
I enjoy playing chess and can be found on Queen Alice
online. I'm not all that good yet but I love to play.
I love to hang out on the Net. In fact, I probably spend far too much time online, but you certainly can't say
I don't have a life!
