Why do today what you can put off till Friday???

Chris Arnold
Age 31
Male (but a long hair none the less)
Born and lived around College Station, TX.
Moved to Huntsville,AL, Auburn,AL now home in Birmingham,AL
Married 7 years to Beth Baker (she kept her last name, I kept mine)
2 Children (besides myself) ages 4 and 3 (Daughter yells "Beetle" when she
sees one, son shouts "Old or new?".
3 Macintosh computers and 1 TV, which lives in a closet except for Auburn
games, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, The Olympic Games, and game 7 of
the Stanley Cup Finals.

My "work": Officially an over educated and under paid Industrial Designing,
Community Planning, 3d architectural visualizing, freelancing, walking sleep
depravation experiment.
Wife's Work: Did I mention we have 2 young "spirited" children?

The VW history: First brought home in a Bug. Raised in Bay window busses.
Rear ended by a Super Beetle in the Volvo 164E I was driving at the time.
Drove Mom's diesel Westy for a while (Beth, then girlfriend, couldn't quite
understand why family discussions about van travel centered around tailwinds
and drafting). Got our 87GL two years ago. Wife and kids *love* the van so
she drives it and I get the mailing list, go figure. I'm in a 97 Jetta GL
since purging the last of the Hondas from our drive way.  Only two parking
spaces or we'd have more VW's (can't yet figure out how to get any into the
backyard - townhome you see.)

Interests: Attachment parenting, unschooling, camping - backyard, beach and
mountain, festivals, storytelling and bumper stickers (about 16 now, on the
glass of course)

Hobbies: Did I mention we have 2 young "spirited" children and one income?

 In conclusion I can honestly say we don't have head leaks... next week
after the reseal is finished. :]   Thank you list for the knowledge to do
what needs to be done and thank you for the time...
