So I decided that if I was going to be tempted to reply to some postings, I should actually tip-toe out of Forrest of Lurk and introduce myself.
I’m single, indentured to two cats, and of an age that is not youthful but far from retirement. I work in computer software, designing Accounting software but I’m not an accountant, so sometimes my brain explodes. (Accountants seem to think that debits are pluses and credits are minuses. Sometimes. Argh!)
I read, a lot, but mostly cheap romances books that always give me a happy ending. (I did just finish Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore and liked it, so sometimes I do stray from the cheap stuff.) And I watch too much TV, mostly with murderers that are always captured by the end. (A large number of these murders seem to happen in the bucolic countryside of England. Must be a terrifying place, and I want to visit it someday and not get murdered.)
I grew up in the Northeast and moved West for college, now living in Denver. But someday, I dream of moving back to live on a lake … my life plan includes a lottery win, so I feel good about this dream coming about.
I tend to hang out on MM and ML, with occasional visits to Entertainment and Pets. As I know someone will ask – I’ve lurked for a long time (even back on “the site that shall not be named,”) but hesitated joining (see my user name for clues as to why).

Ack - I even spell-checked. Damn you, Word!!!
As for where I'm from ... upstate NY, outside Albany. (AKA, not NYC - an amazing number of people have to be told that NY State is more than NY City.)
Pictures to come, when I figure out how to do that. For now ... my Siamese mix looks a lot like Duke but less fluffy, while the other cat looks like he's 100% long-haired chocolate point Siamese (but is a rescue).
