mmmmph! You really are making me guess. It seems as though a politian's homestate is the one in which he/she is running (right, Hillary?). I think it most appropriate to pick the one in which they grew up, in which case I would pick Massachusetts. Do I win?

  Bzzzzt!
Of course I am making you guess. I meant the state from which the politician is running. (You get a 50/50 chance on this one.)

  Unreal. "Bzzzzt!" is entering my life in areas other than Worm Nerd! OK, OK, lemme guess again. I suppose I would say Johnson and Bush were Texans; Nixon and Reagan were Californians... I'll guess the later, since you and Tater hang and he is in SF. Be quick and merciful as I cringe, awaiting the potential buzzzzer.

  Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
Good use of logic, excellent outcome. In thinking it over later, I realized that Tater and I both attended schools in Massachusetts, but not at the same time. I have never done anything worth mentioning in Texas, and I doubt that Tater, with his well documented dislike of air travel, has ever been there.
Now tell us a bit more about yourself, sir. We can infer that you are not in the 1-hour film-processing industry, but little else....

  About myself? This reminds me of the pre-class-reunion questionaire I sent back in June. I was given 2 lines to tell what I had been doing since graduation. "I am gainfully employed and never went to prison." ...was my response. The reunion was this past Saturday. It seems as though I had done better than some. Everyone was inflating egos and salaries. We left early. Anyway... I am a Medical Technologist (medical labs) and for the past 12 years I have been doing hospital computers. See www.cpsinet.com. Home is Daphne, AL, on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay. I like riding by cycle, video games, movies, music and water ballon battles. My greatest lifetime accomplishment is locally dubbed "the great UFO hoax of 1978". See 1/79 Omni. I hope that you are willing to share a little more too, please....

  OK, well, um, I haven't been to prison either, but I also did not go to my class reunion. I work for the world's largest educational publisher producing books and media products about computers and engineering. My most glamorous yet underpaid job was Public Information Officer for a NASA satellite project based at UC Berkeley. I communicate effectively with geeks (as you might have noticed). I have not owned a private automobile for over five years, and I'm darned proud of it. I am also passionately opinionated about my Macintosh, Italian food, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

  aaaaahh! Italian food! I love kitchen recreation and usually use, oh, 20 times the amount of garlic called for in a recipe. Speaking of NASA, you mentioned taking a 10 ear old to space camp... would that be in Huntsville? And, would your employer be Harcourt?
