Your title is: “The Chronotrons”

In a post-apocalyptic terraformed Mars, a young student of metaphysics stumbles across a dream-inducing drug which spurs him into conflict with computer viruses made real, with the help of a tomboyish female mechanic and her reference book, culminating in the invocation of a spell at the last possible moment.

Phil Gerbyshak at Slacker Manager has tagged me with this meme, and since I am sick and unable to concentrate too much, I’ll play along. First, the Rules:

• Link to the original tagger(s), and list these rules on my blog.
• Share 7 facts about myself in the post - some random, some weird.
• Tag 7 people at the end of my post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs.
• Let them know they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their blogs and/or Twitter.

7 Facts About Me

1. I’m 39 years old, as of December 1st, 2008. I have just under one year to complete my goal of making a million $$$ before I am 40. (I set that goal when I graduated from High School and everything looked peachy)
2. I went to college for Mechanical Engineering, loved college and my friends - hated engineering. If I could go back and do it again I would major in History.
3. I got married for the very first time in March of 2005. Since then the lovely bride and I have lived in three states (CT, NC, ME) and visited 11 more in the last 5 weeks.
4. I have had a wide variety of jobs and a “career” in Hospitality Management, but I have never loved any job as much as I love working for myself, helping other people learn the skills that have helped me.
5. I do not really like dessert.
6. I have ADD and I manage it thru diet, suuplements and lifestyle management.
7. My hobby is collecting and painting miniature soldiers.

NOw, I get to tag 7 other folks to share information about themselves, and then let them know they have to play.

I have been Tweeting about “John Galt” quite a bit recently, as the lovely bride and I have been preparing to simplify our lives and try something new. As of 31 October, and for the foreseeable future, we no longer have a permanent physical address.

I have re-negotiated my day. Work and Research will have to wait until this evening when it is dark and cold. Instead I decided to go Kayaking!

The link will take you to the Adventure Journal blog, where I will be posting weekly on my outdoorsy activities in Maine.
