4.I am a life member of the National Model Railroad Association, having worked for them for eight years as their first library director.

5.I’m a big fan of classical music (and I mean Bach, not the Beatles).

6.I once designed a typeface where all the characters were composed of rifles and revolvers. I called it “Serif John”.

7.I used to produce industrial training films. I was a good editor (if I say so myself), but I was a terrible cameraman.

I'm assuming from #3 that you've been to them, but not to the top of them? 'Coz that's a lot of stairs to climb.

I'm with you on this one, Z. Well, not about the liking snakes part, but I've never yet met a water moccasin I wanted to be friends with. I got a big jolt at my last house when I opened a backyard gate on a sunny day and nearly stepped on a four-foot moccasin. And he was not happy with me for taking away his shade! I was very glad I worked for the city where I lived and had friends in Animal Control who could come out and be brave for me.
