I've been tagged several times (most recently by the lovely Bek) and never got around to doing it...so, better late than never, here are my 10 random pointless facts:
1 - I don't really like the internet all that much. I am one of the only people I know who doesn't have a facebook, myspace, twitter, or any of that. If not for flickr, I probably wouldn't spend any time at all online outside of work.
2 - If I could only choose one food to eat for the rest of my life, it would be fresh watermelon, cut into chunks.
3 - I shattered my left ankle when I was 15. I had surgery, and it was reassembled with steel pins. They don't set off metal detectors, but I get weird pains when the weather changes sometimes.
4 - My old house is haunted. No joke. I have witnesses.
5 - I learned to read when I was 3.
6 - Nine Inch Nails is one of my favorite bands. I've seen them perform live 23 times in 8 states.
7 - I fail at all sports. I haven't been good at a sport since kickball in grade school.
8 - I have never in my life been afraid of the dark.
9 - I've never taken a photography class, but I would love to learn how to develop my own film.
10 - I am not a fan of extreme temperatures, either hot or cold. My ideal weather would be low 80's during the day and low 60's at night. I love thunderstorms and fog more than anything.
Um…Buffalo Bob, Bob Armstrong Custer, Bob Leaf Eric, Bob Baroo go figure. My sister is saying I look like my dad did. True there is this, Wolfe thing we live with and carry. Having two more Roberts right behind me I can assure you we are each unique (M, A, D, V), not at all the same except for those things we carry genetically and through transactional Analysis. This photo was a point and shoot in an old mirror.

I learned, last year, that my facial expressions often don't convey what I mean for them to-- in particular, that I am seen as angry or distressed when I am not. This isn't a good thing. So I worked on paying more attention to my expressions, and bought mirrors so that I could see what I look like. This one ended up in my hallway. I often blow myself a kiss when I am leaving the apartment. I think this helps me wear a happy face.
My reflection in a crystal-clear tidepool at Montana del Oro at Los Osos outside of Morro Bay, CA. almost has the effect of a double exposure.
