I did some research online. It was a bark scorpion that I was inadvertantly holding. VERY glad he didn't get me. It appears to be quite painful.
I'm going searching for a black light this weekend. I'm still amazed he was on the 2nd floor. I'm also going to start sealing off just about every hole on the outside of the house that's less than 10' from the ground. Our sliding glass door & doggie door are going to be the tough ones, though.

I learned about checking my shoes shortly after I moved to AZ in '89. It was great advice included in my college orientation. Five years in Prescott and I saw 2 of the barstards.
Everywhere I've lived since, I've always checked my shoes. While in TN, my wife didn't understand what I was doing. I told her it was something I learned to check for scorpions, but it seemed to be great advise for ensuring there were no brown recluses in my shoes, either. Those lil barstards are pure evil.
Now that we're out here, I constantly remind her to check her shoes and wear her minimize going barefoot at night. Better safe than sorry!
Mark: thanks for the tip. I will be shopping for that stuff in the very near future.
