Ok, I give. Since Pat did it, I will do it too. It's not as easy as it seems.

Anyway, here you go...100 things.

1. I was born in July of 1960 – 6 days before my wife

8. I adore my wife. Ask anyone.
9. My favorite food in the world is macaroni and cheese. Yours is too.

17. I have always felt very lucky.
18. I love the Dallas Cowboys and I’m not apologizing. Nope, no way.

22. I was raised in a very nurturing happy household. At least I think it was.
23. I have been spoiled by small music venues.
24. I never really want to go out, but I have a great time almost every time I do. Go figure.

26. I am pretty short 5’7”. I wish I was 5’ 10”.
27. I don’t like talking about politics or religion.
28. I have a very short attention span. I am easily distracte-ooh look, a bug..
29. I’m pretty silly.
30. I think that just because something is popular it doesn’t mean that it’s not good.

32. I can no longer tolerate “the mall”.
33. I am a superior parallel parker.
34. I love to watch sports on TV and often say things right before the commentator says them. My wife pokes fun at me for that.

36. I have one son and two stepsons. They are all great kids. I am very proud of them.
37. I hate camping.
38. I also don’t like eating outdoors. I seem to be in the minority.

51. I do think that maybe Nessie exists, though.
52. I am overweight. I think that I always will be. I don’t like it, but that’s what I believe.
53. I can’t play any musical instruments. When I was little, I took piano lessons. My instructor told my mom that I was doing everything right, it just didn’t sound like music. That’s harsh.
54. I am a good friend. I am very loyal and I will not hurt you. I’ll try not to, anyway.
55. I wish I was better at web design. It’s one of the things that I would like most to do.
56. I can barely leave my room without taking a shower. I am almost obsessive about it.
57. I still like reading comic books, but I never do.
58. I have a compression fracture in my spine. I don’t know how it happened. My back hurts often, especially when I sneeze.
59. I always sneeze when I add pepper to something that I am cooking. Isn’t that terribly cliché?
60. My last dentist appointment was about 3 months ago. The one before that was about 20 years ago. I have no cavities.

63. The best friends I’ve ever had in my life are the ones I have right now.

68. I am a happy upbeat positive person and I think I make others feel that way too.
69. I think that the secret to most food is to add more butter.
70. I think rhinos are cool and I have several of them around the house. Not real ones.
71. OJ Simpson was my hero when I was a child. That was before he killed anybody.
72. I fall asleep faster than anyone I know. I always sleep well.
73. My wife is an insomniac.
74. Kate Bush is one of my favorite artists ever and we were both born on July 30th. Cool, huh?
75. When I was younger I hated when someone didn’t like me. I would do whatever I could to change their mind, even making myself different to make them like me more. I’m older now, but I still do that sometimes.
76. I took a course in web design and all it taught me was how to use FrontPage, which I don’t use. Oh, except at work. So I guess it was worthwhile.
77. I used to sell TV guides door to door. I got a dime per guide. I was about 12.
78. I was a Cub Scout and a Boy Scout. Boy Scouts aren’t supposed to hate camping. See #37.
79. I’ve always been happy with the age that I was at the time. Even now.
80. My favorite bird is the bluebird. But that’s not what my wife thinks.
81. I love to take photographs and fancy myself as having a decent eye. I should take a course.
82. I love movies. Old movies, comedies, action-adventure, chick-flicks, dramas. But not gory movies. I’m a wimp for that kind of thing.
83. I think The Simpsons is one of the smartest shows to have ever been created, but it’s time to shut it down.
84. I can’t read documentation very well on a computer screen. I usually print it off and read it the old fashioned way. From paper.
85. I love to play pool. I suck at it but I love it anyway.
86. I’m not very good at money management. When I am in charge of paying the bills we always have plenty of play money but we struggle to make timely payments.
87. My wife does our bills.
88. We live in a nice house. I love this house. And we’re only about 6 minutes from work.
89. When I was about 15 years old, I used to walk my lawn mower around the neighborhood and ask people with tall grass if they wanted their lawn cut. They always said yes. Kids don’t do that too much any more. It’s a different world.
90. I can see the cooling towers of a nuclear power plant from my driveway. It doesn’t make me nervous.
91. We have two cats. I pretend to not like them but I do.
92. I always maintain that I hate little kids. Everyone knows I’m lying but I say it anyway. Little kids like me too.
93. I make the best fried potatoes of anyone I know.
94. Between too hot or too cold I would rather be too hot.
95. I’m obsessed with my lawn and think about it a lot.
96. I think MTV sucks. It didn’t used to. But it does now. Vh1’s not much better.
97. I think that, whenever possible, you should have tomato soup with your grilled cheese sandwich. Don’t you?
98. My wife and I have excellent, but diametrically opposed, parents. We love them very much.
99. My grandparents on my mother’s side are sitting, co-mingled in an urn in our hallway. It creeps our oldest son out.
100. I always want a Peanut Buster Parfait from Dairy Queen. Morning, noon and night. Right now. Maybe I’ll go get one. Ciao!
