I have two birthdays - my mother says that I was born on one day, the state says that I was born on the next day. (I trust my mom, after all, she was there! After surviving high school (5 of them, over 4 years), I did this, and that, and quite a bit of the other... 

Now I work for the US Government Printing Office, and go to college, and wonder when I get to sleep, eat, etc. 

By the time I was 18, I had missed seeing over 100,000 acts of violence that I would have seen had I lived in a "normal" family. (What is normal, anyway?) 

Mind you, we did have TV - strictly limited and monitored. M*A*S*H, Quincy, and Merrie Melodies/Looney Tunes were my childhood favorites. 

Now? M*A*S*H, Merrie Melodies/Looney Tunes, Burns and Allen, Dragnet, and any one of Wallace and Gromit's adventures that I can find. Oh, I forgot to tell you - I like nature programs also. 

Also, certain BBC comedies are something that I won't miss - like May to December, Are You Being Served?, Keeping Up Appearances, and Waiting for God. (I do, however, loathe Mr. Bean - after all, I must draw the line somewhere!) 

Politics?  That comes from the Grrek prefix poly, meaning many, and ticks - you know what those are...  (Take note, Bill and Newt!!)

Th-th-that's all, folks (for now). 

Don't take a left turn at Albuquerque...
