    About Me I have a tendency to forget I have one arm and accept a lot of challenges before thinking them through. Apart from making a sound when I clap I've conquered them all.
    Music I'm stuck in the seventies. Whatever drugs came out in the 80's ruined music ever since. Offspring are the exception.
    Movies Nothing too girly, unless theres popcorn. If theres popcorn I'll do a "sound of music" marathon if I have to.
    TV My kids own the TV, sometimes I'm allowed to watch it.
    Books I read to learn, so if a book is going to teach me something I'm going to read it.
    Likes Peace and quiet, fresh air, good friends, spicy food and a bunch of other stuff. But not bugs.
    Dislikes Heights unless I'm in control. Bugs (I know I'm a sissy)... BIG bugs... you know the ones. Damn giant grasshoppers.
    Hobbies Keeping fit, cycling, martial arts and trying to figure out which end of my digital camera is the dangerous end... ie; photography.
    Vices Fitness and diet. VERY anti-junk food.
    Virtues Patience.
    Heroes Oh you know... the usual; batman, the hulk and the punisher. I grew up on comics.

    Procrastination

    Well.. having more free time hasnt open the blogging flood gates here at Lessthanfour.  Not for me anyway.  Turns out that the "more free time" was just an illusion anyway.  My new job is starting to wear a bit thin, especially considering the pay cut I had to take to get there.

    Apart from that I've had an extra long weekend with the kids so I'm feeling pretty content.  The boys were given a taste of some independence and were allowed to ride their bikes to the corner shop and back.  It only took them about twenty minutes but I think I developed an ucler large enough to take out a buffalo.  Their mission?  To buy ingredients to bake cookies and chocloate.  I gave them enough money to leave town, a mobile phone, a shopping list, a "rules" list and strapped a video camera to one of their backpacks to record the whole thing.  I was nervous okay.  In the end they made it back fine and now they want to do everything by themselves, which is kinda cool.

    Don't ask how I got to be baking cookies, I know that's not exactly an extreme sport or anything.  Lets just say, everything turned out just fine in the end and that the fire brigade agrees.  Can they really ban me from cooking?

    hey there, I was really good on rollerblades before the accident and I did have to start off slow like against the wall or car but then graduated to the driveway. I can not go out in the street or downtown sidewalks yet like I used to but I hope to again, I don't mind falling, that helps!!
