[Lee Haslup <biglee AT haslups.com>]

OK, I'll try to be serious...

> What is your name?

Allen L (BigLee) Haslup

> Where do you live?

On the Apex side of Cary.

> What do you do?

Software developer (Java/J2EE).  Once and future development team 
leader.  Currently I am working as a contractor at RailInc on a system 
that manages alerts from under-track detectors that tell when a railcar 
has a defective wheel. 

> What do you /really/ do?

I divide my time so fairly among a bewildering array of hobbies that it 
is difficult to pick out any of them to mention here.  I have two 
open-source projects on Sourceforge.  I am on the board of directors of 
the Triangle Java User's Group.  I like to cook and I collect songs 
about food.  I like films, esp. science fiction, fantasy, and mindless 
"guy" films with car chases and helicopter crashes.  I generally try to 
see most films at the second-run theater because I am a cheapskate.  (I 
miss the Blue Ridge terribly and can't wait for them to re-open after 
their fire.)   The last few weeks I have been doing the "pub quiz" at 
the Hibernian in Cary on Tuesday nights (one win, two ties for second.)  
I could use some more people on my team (currently me and my wife, 
Irene).  My current team name is "The Boast of Christmas Pissed."  but 
that may be seasonal.  I am considering "Norman Conquest -- 1066 (With 
Coupon.)" after Christmas.

> What is your quest?

To dream ... the impossible dream ...
To fight ... the unbeatable foe ...
To bear ... with unbearable sorrow ...
To run ... where the brave dare not go ...
To right ... the unrightable wrong ...
To love ... pure and chaste from afar ...
To try ... when your arms are too weary ...
To reach ... the unreachable star ...

This is my quest, to follow that star ...

Wait!... Sorry... That's not *my* quest.  It's Joe Darion's quest.  My bad.

My quest is to try to be serious...
No matter how hopeless...
No matter.

> What is your favorite color?

Crater Lake Blue (just a shade darker and more saturated that Maxfield 
Parrish Blue.)

> Thanks in advance for your enthusiastic participation!
Your're welcome, I'm sure.
