I know for a fact that I couldn't (in any reasonably short period) rattle off that much about myself. It's really quite impressive, and the best part about it to me is that you made it into an axiom ad.

If you ever start up a company and try to market something to twenty-somethings in the US today, you should shoot off a whole string of tv ads in that form. With a nice diverse group of spokespeople and a bunch of 30 second timeslots, you could probably even sell bacon to a vegan!

Oh my God, the "off" button safety protocol is not working. Run!! Run!!

Switching back to serious once again, that is the beginnings of a neat opportunity Craig. I have done something similar over the years with an old, dog-eared journal. My thoughts were that if I ever chose to write a book it would be good to have some history of the details surrounding bits and pieces of my life experience. There might be a way to turn that into a humourous narrative of one's journey. I also thought it would be nice to have something my children or grandchildren could look at when they where really bored and learn something about where they came from. I likethe way you have organized the "detail spew"; it makes for quicker capturing.

Hmmmm, in reading this, you are probably wondering who I am and what I did with Ray? No matter. Craig - you have stimulated my thought muscle with your offering and I am appreciative.

I already have my DVD's catalogued here. I'd really like to do my CD's, but I literally have around 1,000 of them and the task of getting them all entered (easy as it may be) seems monumental.

AH! An addition to one (or two) of my all time favorite posts. I find myself agreeing with an awful lot of your points. Does this mean I'm gay?
