Well - I already did introduce myself in a previous post but that was
more related to the screws loose in my head ;) So I thought I'd take a
moment on a lighter note to introduce myself a bit as some of you seem
to have been on here a while and undoubtedly know oneanother quite
well.

My name is Matt, I guess you figured that out ... 28, Married with two
children (one of them is my childs daughter from a previous marriage)
... one girl, one boy, the millionaires family right? :) ... So where's
the money?!

I live in SE Michigan with pretty much my whole family, including my
wifes. I thought I'd mention some of my hobbies too as perhaps some of
you share the same ones and we can share stories!

I love camping ... it's what my family and I do the most of it seems,
we try for 30 nights a year ... we did the tent thing a couple times
but quickly migrated to a popup and never regreted it one bit ... I
also do a lot of photography and astronomy stuff so that seems to keep
my interests up, although weather in Michigan doesn't permit well to
astronomy! Then of course there's music ... as I recently posted in a
reply, I've been in music for a while ... when I was 5 I started
private music lessons in guitar, and then a few years later I picked up
trombone ... I was involved in competitions for several years and did
real well ... I thought about going into music as a career but didn't
see the money in that ... so I went to computers ... now, the money is
better but I hate my job! lol ... it's so stressful, although I think a
lot of that is my current position. I'm currently going to University
of Phoenix for my MBA and I have to say I love the program ... don't
have to commute, go to class, or be away from the family ... still
takes time but I can do that on my own time and not on family time.

I don't want to write a book as I can be quite wordy but I just thought
I'd introduce myself as this seems to be a pretty active group!

Thanks again for the welcomes and I look forward to getting to know you
better and helping out when I can.

~Matt

Thanks for telling us a bit about yourself, Matt. I wish I had some talent,
any talent, especially in music, like the piano. My brother, Paul, has all
the talent in our family. :-) He started out by painting regular size
paintings, but then found the money was better painting miniatures, like for
doll houses or mantels. He was also in a band and knows how to play lead
and bass guitar. LOL Here I am telling you about him instead of about me.
There's really nothing to tell. :-) I've been a secretary for most of my
life, but when the ag hit me in 1984 I had to quit my job. I haven't worked
since March 2000, been living in Canada since Nov. 2000 and love it here.
My husband, Don and I met right here on this newsgroup. We'll be married 4
years this Nov. That's all I can think of. I usually only have disorder
things to talk about. :-) Just kidding.

Hugs,

Di

Hi Matt! Welcome! It sounds like you have a busy life, which is good.
That really helps with anxiety if you can stay busy. I know what you mean
about working at a job you dislike. Keep looking until you find what you
want. It's out there somewhere.

Again, welcome and I look forward to getting to know you.

Dear Matt,

Thanks for sharing some info about yourself. I enjoyed reading it! I love
camping, although I haven`t done it in a long time. I think you are going to
make a great addition to our wonderful family here. Take care :)

Welcome, Matt. I played the trombone through high school and college.

My son got his MBA at UC Davis one year ago.
