It’s been a while. Let’s do a meme. (Since the rest of the GOMs are doing it.)
1. The phone rings. Who will it be?
Friends asking to borrow the shower. (Their hot water heater went out.)
2. When shopping at the grocery store, do you return your cart?
Absolutely. It’s grossly irresponsible not to do so.
3. In a social setting, are you more of a talker or a listener?
I listen. The spousal entity is the social one.
4. Do you take compliments well?
Not well. Who does?
5. Do you play Sudoku?
Daily. It’s an addiction. I do the Evil level at Web Sudoku and Black Belt Second Degree in the Martial Arts Sudoku series.
6. If abandoned alone in the wilderness, would you survive?
For awhile, so long as I had a few basics. I went through Air Force SERE survival school and I’m a Scout leader.
7. Did you ever go to camp as a kid?
Did I camp? Frequently. Go to camp? Nope, that was for city kids.
8. What was your favorite game as a kid?
Kick the Can.
9. If a sexy person was pursuing you, but you knew she was married, would you?
Nope. Wouldn’t be prudent. And I’m happily married, thank you very much.
10. Could you date someone with different religious beliefs than you?
Assuming I was not married. I’m thinking, not. We’re not to be unequally yoked (2 Cor 6:14). I don’t think it’s a sin to do so, but it’s still a pretty strong admonition. My faith is a key part of my life and I would want my marriage partner to share that faith – and she does.
11. Do you like to pursue or be pursued?
Trivial Pursuit? They’re all pursuing me. I could take on a Sicilian if death was on the line.
12. Use three words to describe yourself?
Trying to perservere.
13. Do any songs make you cry?
My tears are only a level or two below those of Chuck Norris. Look it up.
14. Are you continuing your education?
I want to work on an MFA in writing, and need to finish my professional SOA Architecture certifications .
15. Do you know how to shoot a gun?
Does the Pope poop in the woods? My family invented shotgun golf.
16. Have you ever taken pictures in a photo booth?
Yes.
17. How often do you read books?
Frequently, but now I’m hooked on audio books.
18. Do you think more about the past, present or future?
Present and future. The past is, well, past.
19. What is your favorite children’s book?
Ferdinand the Bull. Or Green Eggs and Ham
20.What color are your eyes?
Blue.
21. How tall are you?
6′2″.
22. Where is your dream house located?
An isolated mountain valley.
23. If your house was on fire, what would be the first thing you grabbed?
Wife, kids, and the photo albums.
24. When was the last time you were at Olive Garden?
Last week. Dave was trying to drag us back to catholicism.
25. Where was the furthest place you traveled today?
Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora, CO. About an hour north of here.
26. Do you like mustard?
Love it, especially coarse ground brown mustard. Unfortunately, everyone else in the family – when they use it – uses the plain yellow stuff.
