Introduction Oh, I am an interesting fellow. On lazy Sunday afternoons after I complete the New York Times crossword I like to solve foreign intelligence encryption schemes for the NSA. While in elementary I did an internship at the Vatican.

I have been a political adviser to 4 U.S. Presidents and 1 Cuban Dictator (though I will not disclose his name, as to protect his anonymity). I have been nominated for 5 Oscars, but have not yet won. On weekends, I volunteer my time by teaching the homeless different bomb defusing techniques.

I was a first round draft pick for the top bocce ball team in the country, but turned down a multimillion dollar contract because the cavalier lifestyle of a professional bocce ball player did not mesh with my family life.

In my spare time I build life size replicas of Stonehenge out of paper mâché and macaroni. I have successfully navigated a small crabbing vessel through the Bermuda Triangle.

I go jogging with Bill Gates, play racquetball with the Pope, crochet with Margret Thatcher, and compete in fencing competitions with Stephen Hawking. Oh yes, I am an interesting fellow.
