regfoghornMusique asked me about my interests:
You have "lapel pins" listed as an interest... Why? Please explain...
So here goes:
Well, I used to actively collect them. The one time I tried to count them, I had over 8000 pins. It's probably over 12000 by now. Why did I start? Well, it began in college, when I joined the 'Rally Committee' at UC Berkeley - at that time, committee members wore a "driving cap"-style hat, and the 'in' thing to do was to put pinback buttons and lapel pins on it to decorate it. So I did that.
After I graduated, I worked in San Francisco, near the convention center in eyars, I don't have as much chance to collect pins as I used to... I'm actually thinking I should go through them and put them up for auction on eBay (except for the best ones, which I'll keep).
