    Me: Rob

    Oddest thing about me: My two front teeth have been knocked out more times than I can remember.

    Best thing about me: I'm just a dang good guy.

    My biggest flaw: I rely on the affirmation of others for happiness.

    I hate: Lying - with a passion. This includes omission and passivity.

    I love: Quality time talking with friends.

    I want: A high paying job to offset 17 years of working in private non-profits, but don't really know what industry or avenue to take without going back to school right away.

    I regret: Mistakes that led to divorce. All of the debt I've accumulated from ^^^ and going to a private college - bad way to start.

    Arrogance: Is almost as bad as lying.

    Selflessness: Is a beautiful virtue constantly demonstrated by one of my best friends.

    Annoying: Littering and graffiti. People who have no respect for the community.

    Awesome: My new friend.

    Creative: I love to write, and I even though I'm terrible now, I'd really like to learn to draw, paint, and sculpt. Also, I've just realized in the last few years that I MUST create, even if just practical or work related things. I had never recognized the value I have for that.

    Music: Pink Floyd; SRV; Classical; Bluegrass; some Flamenco. Genre is less important to me than the quality of the piece.

    Cooking: I only really enjoy it when doing it for others.

    Baking: I've made gingerbread houses before.

    Fast Food: JIMMY JOHN'S

    Fancy Restaurants: I do not frequent them, though I'd love to (need someone to go with).

    BBQ: Yum! Short ribs.

    Holidays: I can have fun at all of them, but I suppose family ones are my favs.

    Working out: I dig it. Right now swimming, riding, and running in prep for a tri. Next week I start lifting again.

    Cardio: Lost most of my weight walking on the incline treadmill.

    Gyms: Mine is no nonsense, and I like it. However, I have to also go to a rec center to use the pool. That blows.

    Caffeine: Not after 3:00 p.m. or I will stare at the ceiling till 4:00 a.m.
