About Me

Name - Dale

Age - What do you think?
Let me know (and I will respond)

Weight - 140 pounds

Height - 5 foot 8 1/2 inches
( for you metric people, use
your math and figure it out)

Eye color - Brown

I live on a lake in the woods of the Upper Peninsula,
as you can see from the photos.

Hair - Sort of black, but in the sunshine some red shows through.  Sort of brown too.

Work - I am a horologist, and work from home.  Guess you have to look that one up. There is a hint in the picture above.

Nationality - I am 1/2 Finnish, and German.  My Grandmother, on my Dad's side, always said there was French, a bit o' Irish, maybe Dutch, and then she added Gypsy too.  Maybe that is where I get the "pack rat" in me from.

Hobbies - Working on the computer, carpentry, surfing my favorite sites and web cams, chatting and reading forums.  I also enjoy reading self help books, and a few others.  I also spend time on Automating my home, which is run mostly by computer. I am very involved with the Historic Vista Theater, where I am the treasure of PAAC (Peninsula Arta Appreciation Council), and the lobby/house manager.

Favorites;

Books - I currently am reading the series by J. K. Rowlings, Harry Potter.  I have the first two done, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.  Two years ago I started Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and I finally just about done. The movie is out already, and I will have it done in a few more days.  I also like all of the Hobbit books by J. R. R. Tolkien, and the short novel with such good words of wisdom; Candide by Voltaire.

Movies - Currently I like the Lord of the Rings, and Harry Potter.

Clothing - I like loose clothing, with shirts not tucked in.  Mostly wear black or white hard Rock Cafe teeshirts, and in the summer or in the house, wearing as little as possible, and sandals all summer.

Strange Things I Do - I like to go bare foot as much as possible and have walked a few miles barefoot. I also like to wear a kilt, as you can see from the picture above. (I don't think it is strange) I bought my first kilt on April 25, 2005. It is a tan Mocker from Utilikilts.com. I hope to get a black survival in the near future. 

Every one says this is gross, but I also enjoy a piece of cake, in a bowl, so I can pour milk over it.  It gets really moist, then I eat the bottom of the cake, and save the frosting for last; which is the best part.

I like frosting on crackers and then let them get stale;

And I like those Easter Peeps (marshmallow candies) to get hard and tough before I eat them;

I also have the annoying habit, to some, of cracking my knuckles.

I also like to collect dragons, castle items, and Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings memorabilia. I like making and working on web pages and keeping them up.

Color - purple

Saying - "Holy Wha!"

Song type - Ol' time Rock and Roll (60's, 70's, 80's), Christmas music, Celtic, and many other types, but not rap, modern country, or music from the 90's and beyond.

Web Sites -Kilt Forum on Yahoo, Utilikilts.com, and others.
