I’ve always liked math and algebra, mysteries, and problem solving.

In my jobs, I was guided by rules and statutes, best practices, and the like.

I’ve never been a fan of sarcasm…literal is easy - it’s straight forward.

I know it hasn’t been six weeks since Punxsutawnay Phil’s shadow.

I know there is snow on the ground, and the forecast calls for more tonight.
