Interests

When is the World Wide Web’s birthday?  August 6, 1991

Any questions or phrases that make you stop and ponder are exactly what interests me.  While it’s fun to know the answer, it’s even more fun to wonder why.  I love to read MentalFloss when the newest issues is out as well as any trivia or fact book.

Back in grade school and all the way through High School, I hated history.  It had to be one of my least favorite subjects.  At some point in time, that has changed.  Now I enjoy learning about the past.  Specifically, I love learning about Norfolk and northeast Nebraska.  How did this street get its name?  What is this town known for?  All of those facts are interesting to me.

A good joke will make you laugh but a good comedian can make you cry.  I love watching comedians hone their craft both in movies and tv shows as well as live on stage.  While the number of live performances I’ve seen is relatively small (Bill Engvall, Larry the Cable Guy, Ron White, J. Medicine Hat) I won’t turn down an invitation to go see anyone, even if they aren’t well known or are just getting a start in the business.
