Thread Name: BS: What are you, really? (really)
Subject: RE: BS: What are you, really? (really)
In declining order of importance to me:

An essentially supportive (I hope), although often obnoxious, husband (and father, but that's no longer as important since my kids are grown and out, and most of the time the best thing I can do for them is to stay out from underfoot).

A citizen of my town, my state and my Country. (I put them in that order because as the political subdivisions grow larger, my ability to have any meaningful effect grows less.)

A folkie musician.

A voracious reader, mostly of Sci-fi and fantasy, although the average quality of that stuff seems to decline as I get older, with some important exceptions.

A cross-country skiier when there's snow, and hiker when there isn't.

An internet addict.

A lover of fine beer and ale.

A barely controlled glutton.

To support all of the above, I practice law (mostly real estate law) solo, in a small Vermont town; earning less than most people would believe any lawyer in active, nominally full-time, practice earns. But I'm healthy as far as I know. Watch this space.

Peter.
