The only thing I didn't like was that my wife kept taking things from mine but we solved that by getting her her own. Anything neither of us wants goes into a box that gets doled out to kids birthday parties or stocking stuffers or Easter Baskets, etc. You mentioned I lived in Alaska, but I recently had to make my own trek across country from Alaska to Florida. I don't know if you remember but a couple years ago we adopted a little girl from China. It turns out she has a rare form of Scoliosis that we could not treat in Juneau. We were referred to Shriners Hospital in Tampa so in the long run it meant a move was in order. Luckily we have family in Florida and the company I work for allows me to work from home. Things are working out well enough we are about to complete our second adoption (our 4th child) in June. Thanks for the shout-out and the happy birthday, be well, -Nicholas * Shows from Marc Chuck, Kreg, and whomever else is in the binary studio: Yes, my birthday is still on March 29 (I forgot that I put my birthday in the wiki). Yes! I still work for the National Park Service and I am moving on in my career to Mount Rainier National Park in Washington state very soon. Yes! I became a fan of technorama AND freestyle right after I attended the podcasting course in Oakland. Your biggest fan! I am not a techno-geek so half the time when you start talking about programming and IT issues, it's all a foreign language to me. However, I have been a fan of computers since elementary school back in the 1970s. My favorite computer, bar none, was my Atari ST. I loved that machine and used it to type my dissertation and first book. I am not sure what happened to it, but I have many fond memories of that machine. The worst electronic sound, bar none, is our #@#!!(!_ smoke detectors. Yes, I know they are supposed to be loud, but come on. Thanks for all of the years of technorama. One of these days, I will start a podcast of my own . . . . . . Marc 'the other ranger' Blackburn On This Day In History for April 1, 2015 This is the 91st day of the year in the Gregorian calendar.
