Who am I?

I’m Tim Trice. Welcome to my blog.  It’s just another Wordpress blog.

I’m 32.  I’m a father.  I live in Houston.

I do information management as a living but dabble in internet programming, marketing and design from time to time.  I enjoy it.  But, I do tend to lose interest more than I wish.  I think I suffer from ADD.  Maybe I’m just lazy.

My son is six.  He lives with his mother in some far away land.  I get Texas-normal visitation which pretty much means I’m screwed.  But, it is what it is.

I am not a college graduate.

I’m agnostic.  I think because I have a scientific frame of mind.

I’m a smoker. I like cigars but occasionally.

I’m a drinker. I like hard liquors but will settle for beer, if necessary.

I like Californication. Occasionally I’ll watch House or Two and a Half Men. But, that’s about it.

And my girlfriend, M, and I got a new grill/smoker for Christmas. So, now I think I’m ready for the next cookoff contest even though the brisket I smoked Sunday took twice as long as was twice as tough as necessary.

I like golfing, too. Though I haven’t picked up a club in six months (at least) I’m just as good now as I was then – a solid 36 handicap. At one point I could’ve sworn I was on the path to the PGA (that’s a joke).

I love tracking hurricanes and studying them. That doesn’t mean I like seeing the destruction associated with them. People don’t seem to think it’s possible to do one without the other.

I have many friends; many of which I’ve seen lose their jobs. And I’m thankful I still have mine even though I tend to hate it as much as I tend to like it. But, it’s not as bad as it could be. I do document control for an oil pipeline company, btw.

I’ll speak my mind.  Which, I’m afraid if I do so too much here will have a negative impact later on in life.  It’d be stupid to think it wouldn’t.  So, in some cases, I’ll have to tread safely.  But, I doubt that will work well.  Sometimes I get careless with words.  So, we’ll see.

My intent with this site from this point forward is to just be me.  Let you know who I am.  Maybe I can teach you something you may not necessarily learn somewhere else.  Maybe you’ll teach me something I wouldn’t learn someplace else.

As long as we’re learning.

Welcome to my world.
