Why am I cool?

I play with computers all day. I do it to help doctors and other people who work at a hospital to treat patients.

On the weekends, I take my kids out all day long, going to the science museum, or to Lego Land (we have had season passes to both). In the car, I play classical music, and later on I hear them humming the parts.

I do everything my own way, regardless of how long it takes or how much I'm overthinking it. I'm honest whether you want me to be or not.

I listen to people and try to empathize with them as deeply as I can. I treat everyone with the same respect, regardless of whether they are the housekeeper or the CEO. (This works better for me in real life than on the internet.)

I had my picture on the front page of the hometown newspaper where my hospital is located, dressed as the Joker (full face paint, green hair, tailored purple suit) with a caption stating that I "brought the house down with my authentic Joker laugh."

And, I have a vintage 1970s Ludwig clear acrylic bass drum with blue rope lights mounted inside the shell--!

I've raised both dogs and cats from birth, including bottle feeding, making them go potty, and everything in between.
