Hi lurkers & regulars. I'm Larry.
I first delurked on TT in fall 2000 (Buffy S5, Angel S2). I had just had cataract surgery on my right eye, which changed it from very nearsighted to slightly farsighted. My brain hadn't yet figured out how to deal with the discrepancy between the 2 eyes, hence the pseud.
I've posted sporadically over the years. Met a bunch of folks when we went to the DC F2F, and more when the F2F came to my home town in 2007.
I drifted away from the board sometime after that, and took to mostly lurking on political & music sites. Ginger keeps me updated on the goings-on.
The inventory:
Serial commas: Inconsistent. No for lists consisting of one or two words. Yes for lists of long phrases.
Post-period double spacing: No. Wife does it; I don't like.
Ellipses, parentheses, and em-dashes: I try not to overuse.
Cilantro: Yes! So glad I'm not among those for whom it tastes soapy.
Olives: In moderation.
Muffulettas: No. Not so much because of the olives, but the cold cuts. I'm generally anti-sliced-cylindrical-red-fatty-meat. I'll have a turkey one with P-C.
Orange cats: 1. Had 2 a couple of years ago (Miss you, Lucky)
Non-orange cats: 1
Dogs named after Buffy/Angel characters: 1
Dogs named after obscure Star Trek characters: 1
Mathematician by education. I write code for geographic software to bring home the meat that is not cylindrical & red.
