Geez, for a second there I thought I wound up in a virtual 12 step program for guys with RAD!

Actually, Flyman... you got the joke! I've never been through that particular ringer, but SWMBO has been known to complain that each one of my (way too many) hobbies and interests should have one. And that I should attend.

The pun is funnier in business kick off meetings... Roomful of quasi-strangers hunkering down to storm out the next six or nine months, and at introduction time, with the straightest face, I go "Hello, my name is Marcos and I'm an engineer". If nothing else a quick survey of the faces tells me who I want on my team.

Incidentally, that looks like a 52 ring you are holding in that pic (if that's you in your avatar)

Here's me, smoking an amazingly realistic imitation of a Cuban Bolivar Belicoso Fino (2000) with a friend a couple of years back. I'm the one without the mustache.
