"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."

- Robert A. Heinlein

 So far, I haven't had the chance to plan an invasion, conn a ship, design a building, set a bone, or die gallantly. I hope I'm not called on to do those things soon.

 I have survived things that probably should have killed me, and seem to serve as a good example of "What *Not* To DO" for certain situations.

 I have a black belt in an MMA version of my original school because my instructor decided he wanted to learn Krav Maga. I earned that Dan and I'm going to see if I can get another.

 I have done historical costuming, am refreshing my skills at handwork, and am debating whether getting surgery for carpal tunnel is worth the time for recovery, if it only really affects my crochet work and certain other repetitious crafts/skills.

 I was an active member of the SCA Inc., and enjoy a wild variety of medieval things and stuff.

I have managed to keep all the fully feathered poultry in the backyard, though I do brood them in the kitchen. I'm sure I have other questionable habits, but they seem to center around handwork, plants and critters.
