Random Facts about Me for March 2011

Ten more. Count ’em off!

  1. I have disproportionately large calves. I got them from my dad. So did my sister. We’re cool like that.
  2. My job could become obsolete someday. Even today, software exists that can automate most of my duties. That’s a weird feeling.
  3. I think smart women are extremely sexy. My wife is a science nerd, and I love her for it. She currently has a 101 average in her chemistry class.
  4. Ditto for women who work out. Sports bras are hot.
  5. I generally dislike being in leadership positions. I would much rather follow and serve than lead. However, it seems that most other people feel the same way, so sometimes I end up leading simply because a leader is needed and no one else wants the job.
  6. Someday, once I have more time and disposable income, I might try flipping houses, possibly in the lower end of the market. I like the idea of transforming old, broken houses into appealing ones and helping to revitalize neighborhoods.
  7. I want a solar-powered hot tub for our backyard. They actually exist, but it’s not as simple as it might sound.
  8. As a teenager, I published a couple of stories/articles in a Christian teen magazine called Straight. They earned me $30-40 apiece. Although the magazine’s name probably referred to “the straight and narrow” rather than sexual orientation, its publisher eventually changed the name to Encounter.
  9. I want my next commuter car to be all-electric. If my Fit can last at least 10 years, it’ll be about 2017 when I go shopping. By then, electrics should be cheaper, better, and more common. Perhaps by then, they’ll finally have a hybrid minivan on the market, too.
  10. Parenthood is great, but it has also given me a new appreciation for the simple pleasure of a quiet meal in the company of adults.
