From reading to racing, beading to luthiery, sailing to motorcycling, writing to railroading, my passions have generally been all consuming with a bit of the root hog or die approach. Like many around here my tastes and interests have varied widely over the years and is why I never doubt when another 'Catter seems to be into an awful lot of things in their life.........I know the feeling. Outside of the fun, it makes you pretty fair at Trivial Pursuit.......a dubious accomplishment.

But I have decided now to concentrate all of my energies into developing the world's largest collection of mummified Yak balls. Fortunately I have very little energy to devote to it but hopefully there is enough to set myself up in the Guinness Book of World Records. I plan on taking them on tour at some point to all the hospitals and nursing homes along with perhaps a spot on Letterman or Leno.
