![[Line of Shamrocks]](cloverbar.gif)
Things
I enjoy are: my cats; my guinea
pig; bowling; swimming; fishing; science fiction; reading; writing; drawing;
watching big fluffy snowflakes drift lazily down from the sky at 2:00am; air
shows; Renaissance Festival;
watching thunderstorms (too lazy/chicken to chase a tornado, but I love to watch
storm-chaser videos!); photography; Tai Chi; music (80's rock, New Age, Celtic); scrapbooking; board
games; labyrinths; daydreaming
about my future inventions and future gardens; and collecting hedgehog
figurines, cowries, and shamrocks/Celtic/Irish/St. Patrick's Day items.
Some organizations of which I am a member: Wisconsin Aquaculture
Association, Feline Conservation Federation, Zoological Association of America.
I am also a third-generation rockhound in the process of figuring out how to
operate lapidary equipment and deciding what to do with 6 tons of rocks.
CREDITS: My original web pages (back in 1996) were created with help
from Windows Paintbrush; Paintshop Pro; Randy's Icon and Image Bazaar; good ol'
MSDOS EDIT; HTML Visual Quick Reference by Dean Scharf, Que 1995;
Using HTML by Neil Randall, Que 1996; Pixelsite (defunct website?); and
Graphics by AIM (defunct website?). From 2000-2002, I used Netscape
Composer rather than writing raw HTML, except for the occasional necessary foray
down to DOS Edit. In August 2002, I began using CoffeeCup HTML Editor v9.3. These pages
contain tables, background images, and javascript and have been tested in
Firefox 2.0 (preferred) and Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0.
