What do you do when you aren't posting here?

Got a wife, two kids and two labs. Kids are 1 and 3. Fun age. Stinky and sticky and more vomit and feces than I really care for, but a hell of a lot of fun.

Also help my wife with her software business, www.CookbookPeople.com (blatant plug). Ever need to make a family cookbook, we're the place to go. I built the television ad on the home page, and the demo on the home page is my voice. And I built and wrote the site. And I've learned more about Search Engine Optimization in the past year than I ever thought I would--we're now the first company that comes up when you google "cookbook software." I don't write our blog anymore, but I manage a lady from LA who does it for us now. Man, it amazes me how much our little business has accomplished in a year and a half.

 

Im a college student who's in England studying abroad till Christmas, then its back to the good ol' Rogue Valley and Southern Oregon for school. Being from Portland living in the south of Oregon sucks. I became a semi-pro poker player last year playing on Pokerstars and hope to intern for the Blazers this summer.

 

Where do you go to school? I grew up in Grants Pass lol

 

Wow, yoru voice... its just... dreamy.

 

It's significantly different from pretty much everything else King wrote. Though another non-horror fantasy he wrote was "The Eyes Of The Dragon," which, while not as brilliant as The Dark Tower series, is pretty worthwhile.

 

Mostly school, occasionally I'm watching TV or playing video games, or running.

 

Yeah, I'm actually a David Duchovny-type, but without all the emotional depth.

 

Ashland, good ol' Southern Oregon University. I like all the nature around there and stuff but its a drama school and I'm a business major. That and the police in the town hate college students and go out of their way to make living there a bitch.

 

Work (Vice President of import display company), Married to an amazing wife, 3 kids (2 daughters and step son) that keep me busy. Spend a lot of time coaching my step son who is a very good athlete. Post during the week but rarely on the weekends. In my rare spare time I watch sports.

 

What part of England are you living in? My wife is from Kent--in a little town called Edenbridge. It was once a roman pig farm.

Went up to Wensleydale a few years ago. Cracking toast.



I'd like to have another vacation back there, but the idea of taking two kids under 4 that far on a plane terrifies me.

 

I'm in Winchester, its by Southhampton and Portsmouth, about an hour away from London. Winchester is also the home of King Arthur and the knights of the round table. Mook are you The Wanker, i think he had a british wife if im not mistaken. And as a person who recently flew with a young child on a plane next to me who was loud the whole time i think you should take your time and wait till your littlest one (1 year old) is just a tad older that way they can remember England and you won't want to give yourself a swirley in the airplane toilet.

 

Yeah, I was once theWanker. I've gone upscale.

I've heard the Winchester Cathedral is pretty impressive. It's actually not too far from Kent, although I've never been there. Been to Beachy Head and Brighton. I love that name, Beachy Head. English names kick ass.

My wife's favorite "mountain" in England is Wolstonbury Hill, near Beachy Head. I remember the first time she took me there, before she'd been to Idaho. She told me we had to leave early because it was pretty far. And it was a tough hike, so bring rugged boots.

So we woke up at 5:30 am, and about 90 minutes later we were there. (The English have a bizarre idea of what "pretty far" is.)

There's this little hill about the size of Mt Tabor, with a gentle path meandering up it. As we got near the "summit", I kept thinking, "Ok, once we're over this I guess we'll see The Big Hill." We get to the top and we are done. She looks at me proudly as if to say, "Isn't this amazing?", and I'm thinking to myself, "Huh. I can be back at the bottom in 12 minutes."

The weird thing to me about traveling through England is just the weird sense of scale everything has. It's all so Lilliputian.

 

I sell retail display fixtures to distributors and medium-sized retail chains.

 

I watch basketball!

 

Yeah the terrain out here is pretty easy to walk on and I haven't seen a single mountain or anything hahaha. I'm just hoping none of those dawn of the dead scenarios happen while I'm over here. That said im going to edinburg scotland next month so hopefully it will be a little different up in the north than it is down here in the south.

Yeah HCP we all know you have the sickest job out of all of us thanks for rubbing it in.

 

I went to Scotland and England for a month in July with my family. Unbelievable! Beautiful! We were in Edinburgh for 5 days, it was very cool!

 

Chillin in Scotland!

 

What broad are you studying? Is she a willing subject, or are you studying her surrepticiously?

 

One more shot-

 

And you have to love the food in England
