I fold a lot of paper. I have years of practice.

I like to play games that don't have much luck and that make me think.

I like to work with computers. I am a programmer by day.

I know how to juggle. Yes, I can juggle three balls. Yes, I can juggle three clubs. Yes, I can juggle four balls. No, I can't juggle more than that.

I write things that people don't read.

I'm married and we have two dogs, one border collie and one border collie mix. They are too smart for their own good. We recently had our first child, a girl named Ouida Mae.

I'm cranky and opinionated.

I don't eat meat. I don't like vegetables. I don't like to eat. I don't eat much.

I don't like cars. I don't like to drive.

I don't like people.

I don't know why you're reading this when there are better things to do.

Since you're still reading this, I think I'll add some words about how I rate games. Basically I'm a curmudgeon. I don't like most board games and I rate things accordingly. I don't tolerate games with lots of randomness or lack of decision making well. For this reason, I generally rate filler games with a 4.

When rating games or expansions with multiple parts, such as Age of Steam maps with more than one distinct map, I will give the game an overall rating equal to the highest rating of any component part because I think that provides the most accurate view of the value of the game. The individual ratings for the components will be reflected in the comments.
