As I write this, the surf is crashing against the beach just a hundred feet or so away. Behind me, the rhythm of a live band is beating out another dance number, and fellow ThinkGeekers are making a retreat for more drinks and a little dancing before crashing.

Michael is happily married and the proud father of three girls. He acknowledges that that means that as soon as they hit their teens, the bathroom will be lost forever and his hypertension will go through the roof as he hunts down a shotgun.

Its nice to have aspirations at least :)
