Patrick Baker computer science graduate

Serious guy doesn't like baseball, prefers laces and rivets to velcro and is weary of true love

Wildcat: My name is Nathan and you're "On the Spot." You're reading a book. What is it?

Beaker: "Days of Air and Darkness," by Katherine Kerr.

Wildcat: I read a book once.

Baker: This is like the ninth or tenth book in the series.

Wildcat: Are you a series kind of guy?

Baker: Yeah.

Wildcat: Do you like baseball? Because they have a lot of series.

Baker: No.

Wildcat: Really?

Baker: Well, I work with Barnes and Nobles so·

Wildcat: How long you worked there?

Baker: Oh, a couple of months, about four or five.

Wildcat: Tell me something. Do you believe in love?

Baker: Usually, yeah.

Wildcat: Usually? What does that mean?

Baker: I've seen people enter love and seen people leave love, but I'm not sure if they've been true or not. I'm still waiting to find out myself.

Wildcat: (Pointing to shoes) So are you a Velcro kind of guy?

Baker: No, more of laces and rivets.

Wildcat: That's cool because I met a girl the other day who was a flip-flopper. She was a flopper, she said. And I respect all creeds and shoe people. Very interesting. So where you off to right now?

Baker: I'm going to pay a stop at some friends' house to fix their computer for them.

Wildcat: Are you a computer buff?

Baker: Um-hmm.

Wildcat: Great.
