Introduction

[dailywarren]

Hello All,

My name is Spencer, I live in Kansas City, Missouri, USA and I graduated UMKC back in '93. I'm a writer (former reporter/editor) and a lifelong devotee of the Boxer breed of canine. My current interests (they're always changing, it seems) are space exploration and the scholastic side of kung fu. I'm married to a wonderful Jewish girl from New Jersey who quite literally changed my life (she claims I did the same for her, but can one perfect perfection?). I read voraciously, am I huge proponent of the inter-library loan system and currently work at Fox News as a nobody. My highest personal and professional value is the truth.

Hi Dailywarren,

 

Welcome aboard. The "scholastic side of kung fu," eh? That sounds mighty interesting. I look forward to hearing more about that, and exchanging ideas with you in the forums. Enjoy!

 

 

Cheers. :rolleyes:

Aww, man....now I want a cool name like "InfiniteNow"!

Maybe I'll try a moniker for myself like "InfinitelyDense", or "StringbeanTheorist", or maybe even "DarkAlmaMatter"!

 

I came across this forum (and hypography.com) during the course of a google search on McCutcheon's "The Final Theory", which is being sequestered through the interlibrary loan system. While quite keen on science in general and space in particular, I missed out on some elementary math early on in my education due to speech classes for a rather embarrassing impediment (I had trouble with my "S's", which is a tough break for a guy named Spencer!). However, at the ripe old age of 37 I've decided to go back to school for a 2nd degree, preferably astronomy or (if I lack number-crunching courage) planetary geology. I've done a lot of fun stuff in my life: reporter, stone mason, dog breeder, merchant mariner, ranch hand, Chippendale dancer (don't buy that last one!), but I want to be primed and ready for when the Hubble retires and the new space telescope goes up.

 

But Kung Fu! Ahh, now there's a pleasure, quite like water to a desert traveler in this complicated age. My life now is filled with books on science and the kata forms of Wing Chun Fut (pronounced "icky icky ba-rook ptang...knee!"). I'd dearly enjoy talking Fu with Yu or anyone else, so feel free to bring up the subject at leisure...although I don't quite know what forum to start such a thread in.

 

But, in general, thanks much for the warm welcome and as your guest you'll find me well-mannered, if a bit irreverant at times. My philosophy: laugh at yourself before everyone else does!

Welcome DW. Don't sweat your name. InfinteNow used to be something I yelled during sex. Then I joined Hypograghy. Now it gives me the heebeegeebees when I do that. ;)

 

Read, post, learn, enjoy. It is the way of the Hypographer. See you on the threads.

Seriously, dude, between this and your reference to tying your wife (wasn't it "Pookie-Bear?" :xx: to the bed post and feathers and whatnot... some of your posts are starting to creep me out. :D
