Seems I need to have a personal page on my website in order to get a link on the
US Mensa website. So to be 100% in compliance with "the rules" - this is it. Heck, right at the
top it says "Personal Page" so this must be the "real deal".
But heck let's face it - do you really want to vist a page that just talks about me? Little old me?
But enough about me let's talk about .........ME ??
You'll will find it
much more interesting (and useful) to visit my website:
CALCULATOR CITY
And if you are wondering, it is 100% free, nothing to buy, no advertising, no annoying logins,
no salesmen will call AND it is dishwasher safe !!!
But be that as it may (and I doubt if it ever was), here's a little bit
about myself. Proceed at your own risk. Some of the following is true whereas other parts
have been totally contrived to make myself seem more interesting. Then again, as the great
American philosopher Yogi Berra put it so eloquently "90 per cent of the time, you can't believe
half those things".
Mensa Member
I've been an American Mensa Member since 1983 - and boy is my brain tired !!
Sorry there's no photo of me but my Web Cam doesn't interface very
well with my Sperry Univac™.
Already, you may have sensed that I have a whacky sense of humor - and as you continue down the
page, I promise the silliness will continue.
I live on the Island of Guam - (see photo)
No wait a minute, let me look out the window...
Whoops, I live
in the Boston area (darned - why do I keep confusing the two ?)
I hold a PhD in Astrophysics from the DeVry Institute of Hotel and Motel Management.
Here's a quick personal profile:
Gee, that looks pretty bad. Well, it's not my good side.
I bet you are kicking yourself right now and saying "Darned I sure wish I had clicked on his
website link instead of scrolling down and reading this foolishness."
As you may have noticed, I like the Internet and working on my website
and with that in mind, I have
decided to put a counter on my site:
Oooohhh I bet you are REALLY kicking
yourself now aren't you?
Hey you're lucky. I was going to mention my latest efforts in web design:
but that would have been a bit much don't you think?
Favorite Films:
Kodak Royal Gold and Fuji Reala -- LOL (a little photography humor there)
(Were you hoping the jokes would get better? Sorry !!).
Actually Forbidden Planet is probably my all-time favorite film. I believe that William
Shakespeare based his play "the Tempest" on this very movie!! It stars Leslie Nielsen who also
made another one of my all-time favorites:
AIRPLANE - the Movie "Surely you can't be serious?" "I am serious... and stop
calling me Shirley !!"
How the actors could keep a straight face delivering these lines is beyond all comprehension.
The Man With 2 Brains with Steve Martin and Kathleen Turner is filled with the zaniest
dialogue and sight gags you could possibly imagine. (Any wonder why it appeals to me?)
On the serious side some great films are:
The Professional with Jean Reno and Natalie Portman
The Black Widow with Theresa Russell and Debra Winger
The Godfather
The Net starring Sandra Bullock
Hobbies:
Computers - bet this is a hobby of yours too - after all you're using one right now
aren't you?
Electronics and
Electic Guitar - I love playing and rewiring these things.
Of all the musical instruments ever invented (that's right, tubas too!!), the electric guitar has
got to be the most expressive. From subtle nuances to outrageous
distortion, the electric guitar does it all. If you are interested in rewiring guitars (or
even just curious about it, please E-Mail me.)
Favorite Mollusk:
the abalone
Favorite Leaning Tower:
Wow - having a tough time on this one. There are so many choices !!
Thank you for your patience. We now return you to our regularly scheduled program already in
progress.
