| Personal background |
Age: 64, married 2 grown daughters.
Occupation: RETIRED as of April 31 2007, previously, I was a Senior Programmer doing Oracle Database / Web Development, started in the programming profession in 1970.
HOBBIES: Golf, Competition rifle and pistol shooting, repairing / restoring old things, gardening, fast cars (but not fast women), physical training and walking, and feeding the wild animals (non human) that hang out at my house.
FUTURE and NOW: I'm at the age where I'm enjoying retirement and trying to making it thru life in one piece with at least something left over (physically and mentally) for an active and fun retirement. I've moved to Eastern Tennessee to get away from the expensive Maryland area and a more "normal" life style. I figured out that the stock markets were going to be down in 2008 and got out of most of my mutual funds and stock investments so I didn't get killed. But I will never understand why the so called financail wizards didn't know this. Or did they know and only inform their high dollar clients????
HOW TIMES CHANGE: When I had just graduated from high school, One of My favorite pastimes was drag racing in front of the just being built Goddard Space Flight Center, the guards would cheer us on and the police would try to catch us. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
I believe Contact has already been made... I played Koolau Golf course in Hawaii (9/10/01) and they were running around everywhere. Making my ball go in the wrong direction, throwing it into the Jungle, dropping it into water hazards, and generally causing me to shoot my worst score of the year. In fact, I believe they followed back to Maryland and managed to make me shoot several other less that stellar scores since then. I know it couldn't have been me ;-)
I think we will eventually "discover" intelligent life in another solar system. But it is highly unlikely that I will be alive to see it :-( |
