TWENTY QUESTIONS
Sigh. I told myself that I wasn’t going to do this, but seeing the bandwagon coming by, I just couldn’t resist jumping on. . .
1. What will you be doing over the Easter weekend? Having my brothers over for Easter dinner, Mass, thinking of the Holy Land, etc.
2. How did you celebrate your last birthday? I didn’t really. Turning 25 isn’t exactly a milestone for anything other than car insurance, right?
3. What would be the best birthday present you could receive? A day with the wife and kids.
4. What did you do on your best birthday ever? I received tickets to a Capitals game when I turned 21, and my first (legal) beer was brought to me inside MCI Center. Bliss.
5. What picture is on your desktop wallpaper? If you really must know, click here.
6. What is on your mouse mat? ( apart from the mouse – LOL!!! ) The seal of the Department of the Air Force, a gift for setting up a computer training center in two days when the contract called for five. Grateful government, unhappy contractor. But we got cool mousepads!
7. Which colour do you wear most often? Blue most likely, although khakis come close.
8. What is the view like from the window nearest your computer desk? Rose bushes and the house next door. Plus grass.
9. Are you artistic? In what way? I have a fairly good talent for drawing and sketching, although I rarely have the time to commit to doing it anymore. I kinda miss it, but alas other things get in the way.
10. Who is your favourite artist? Van Gogh comes close, but Salvador Dali takes the prize. Andrew Wyeth is a contender as well.
11. Who is your favourite author? Fiction? Tom Clancy. Non-fiction? St. Thomas Aquinas.
12. If you won a lottery what would you spend the money on? I’d buy a great home in Fredericksburg and invest the rest. Maybe buy the Idlewild tract, turn it into a big park and save it from development, if allowed.
13. What sort of car do you drive? Primarily my ’86 Ford F-150, but as of late the Saturn seems to keep returning to me. . .
14. How do you dress? ( i.e. smart, casual, power suits, scruffy, etc. ) Business casual most of the time, unless I am completely sloppy and don the t-shirt and khakis. Wittgenstein would be proud.
15. How much jewellery do you wear? What is it? Since my watch broke, my routine was snapped, so momentarily I really don’t wear any jewelry at all. Need to fix that watch by the way.
16. Have you ever dyed your hair? What colour? Nope. Not even a thought.
17. What was the last song you heard? John Mayer – 3 x 5
18. What do you think about smoking? ( for, against? ) Pipe tobacco? Great. Cigars? Great. Cigarettes? Dumb. Inconsistent? Nah. . . cigarettes are a nervous habit like chewing gum. Cigars and pipes are enjoyed.
19. Where would you most like to live? Either here in Fredericksburg or way out in the middle on nowhere. Living in Washington D.C. wouldn’t be all that bad either, but it would have to be either in Brookland (near Catholic University) or in Northwest, and long past the time where I have rugrats to worry about.
20. How often do you blog? Daily. *sob*
