Dinner with in-laws tonight… I wasn’t feeling so animated, but it was nice to be with family.

It’s been 17 years since unification day? Dang.

Something I haven’t done in a while – 125 things about me – Last time I did it was in May 2000.

Written on the bus to the train on the way home – too bouncy to read.

001. You can call me Scott, Scooter, Big Guy, or whatever you like. I answer to just about any non-derogatory nickname you want to throw at me. Mr. von Berg might catch me for a loop, however. Most folks call me Scott, Scotto, or Scotty.
002. Walks with a limp (drop foot on left) after a botched epidural. Foot is numb.
003. Is overweight
004. is overheight
005. has allergies to numerous airborne particles.
006. Lives and works very close to Washington DC – some of the worst air in the nation.
007. Misses the man his brother used to be.
008. misses the man his father only rarely was.
009. Has a Pyewacket whisker in his wallet, next to a newt whisker and a stretched penny from his honeymoon.
010. can be extremely sentimental
011. can be extremely sullen
012. can be extremely goofy
013. is usually very laid back
014. likes to game socially with friends – Carcassone or Champions works, either way.
015. likes to spend as much time as possible with BHK and the Kitties.
016. When I was little, I thought The Beatles were “The Battles”, and they were named for combat, not bug/music beats.
017. I feel that Acupuncture has more to thank from the Placebo effect than to Chi flow. If it works for you, more power to you.
018. It is with only purest power of will that there are no ducks, bunnies or alpacas living in our back yard.
019. I don’t like to wear shoes or socks.
020. never did learn to juggle pins
021. has been sick more in the last 2 years than in the 10 prior. Allergies are a pain.
022. owns a condo in Florida, but is happy to live in Maryland with his wife and 2 kitties
023. wants to develop some form of “anti-tailgating” device. non-lethal, preferred.
024. doesn’t mind wearing ties at work much these days
025. is learning (very sporadically) to play bass guitar and ukulele
026. likes fairy lights
027. wishes he could visit friends that are very distant more often (or at all)
028. likes finding sculpture in the woods
029. doesn’t sleep well without newton and BHK in bed with him
030. still uses a cpap
031. can always use a back rub
032. has chronic pain – minimal, it’s stinging-itching nerve damage or allergy stuff, or worst case, it’s when my back or leg is less than cooperative.
033. loves traveling through fog and mist
034. likes the little scratches and dings on his wedding ring
035. has had a website / journal online since the late 90s, but really only committed to regular posts in 2000.

more to follow tomorrow, if I remember.
