About Me:
I design and build furniture (among other things) as well as teach interior and furniture design. I've spent most of my life in Minnesota, but have traveled a fair amount, including living in Japan and Australia while I was in the Marines. I'm an outspoken atheist, love science and music, am happily married, and have two cats named Tycho and Sophie Brahe.
I read a lot, enjoy live theatre, really like Brit-coms, but don't see enough movies and almost never watch TV (outside of the Brit-coms, my Minnesota Vikings, and a PBS Mystery occasionally that is).
The ride's my old school '82 KZ440. Tight, but never quite right.
My Chess Style / Favorite Openings:
I learned to play when I was 7. Played for a couple years, then didn't play again until I was in my mid-twenties. Again, a year or so, then nothing until this last December.
You can see my rating here. Nothing impressive, but I'm not embarrassed by it. It's an enjoyable game (and a bit addictive) which I want to get better at, but I'm not deluded enough to think I'll ever be incredible at it. My goal is to play around 1500 or better here by the end of the year. I love to chat during a game, but if that's not your bag, that's fine too.
