From Organic Mama:
Do you have any special talents?
I can place my entire fist in my mouth. I am freakishly good at specifying our precise, to-the-minute arrival time home when on a trip. Once upon a time two women I slept with became roommates, and both of them were still talking to me six months later. I’ll count that too.
Do you regret anything about your past?
Starting smoking.
Do people ever mistake you for being a different race?
No. I’m unambiguously a big goofy white guy.
Do you collect anything?
Wristwatches, most passionately. Also books and DVDs.
Would you tattoo someone’s name on your body?
No.
What do you worry about the most?
Being a good father.
Do you have any friends with “benefits”?
No. I was never any good at that. Any regular sex I had/have was/is always in the context of a monogamous relationship.
How old were you when you moved out of your parents house?
21. I lived there through college.
Whom do you miss right now?
I miss my mom sometimes. I miss geographically inconvenient close friends like Heather and Amy.
Are you drinking anything?
Sam Adams.
Do you like beer? If so, which one?
I love beer, unfortunately, and have the physique to prove it. Sam Adams Boston Lager is my commonly available go-to. I’ve been drinking a bit of Anchor Liberty Ale, which is superb, lately.
Do you carry any form of contraceptive with you?
No.
Do you have any weapons for personal protection?
Yes.
What is the last restaurant at which you ate?
Spice of India.
What is your favorite fruit?
Banana.
Do you believe “Once a cheater, always a cheater”?
Not absolutely, but it certainly seems to work out that way a lot of the time.
Do you sit on public toilet seats?
Yeah, if I have to. I try not to.
What is a goal you would like to complete this year?
Implementing an unhurried, productive, and reflective morning routine.
Last person with whom you had an argument?
I can’t remember. Lea and I had a stimulating and useful discussion last weekend, but I wouldn’t say it rose to the level of “argument.”
Have you ever run away from home?
Sort of. I once told my mother I was running away to the Faircloths (our up the cul-de-sac neighbors) because of “Dad’s out of town too much, bedtime, and broccoli.”
Where were you 2 hours ago?
Standing in the kitchen going through the mail.
Favorite concert you have been to?
That’s out of perhaps as many as 150 concerts, and I couldn’t possibly pick just one. The ones that pop in my head:
- Kiss, Huntsville, 1990
- Steely Dan, Nashville, 1993
- Kiss, Birmingham, 1996
- Saxon, Atlanta, 1998
- Tori Amos, Nashville, 1999
- Cheap Trick, Rockford, 1999
- Kiss, Birmingham, 2000
- Cheap Trick, Huntsville, 2000

The roof of my mouth.
Last thing you bought from Walgreens?
A pillbox, I think.
What do you think about the president?
C-.
What are your favorite pizza toppings?
My favorite pizza is sausage, mushroom, and onions, but I’ll eat just about anything.
How much money do you have on you?
None. Who carries money on his person around the house at night?
When did you last go swimming?
Last summer.

Dad just turned 64. Mom would be 60, but she died seven years ago.

No.
What is your favorite piece of furniture you own?
A funny little antique piece my mother gave me that is somewhere between a bookshelf and a hutch. It’s in our foyer.

Viet Huong and Surin. Mikawa for sushi. Pauli’s for a steak. Bandito Burrito Co. for Mexican. Probably Outback for a stuff-on-the-wall.

I love that your favorite number is Pi; my daughter is 13 and trying to memorize as many digits as possible. Pi ALWAYS reminds me of Contact the novel (not the movie where one of the novel’s coolest plot twists EVER was not addressed, making the movie SO not what it could have been).
As for your fear, I’m right there with you…
You ARE an unambiguously goofy white guy – I LOVE that about you.
I totally agree that you should count the roommates still speaking to you as a talent. That’s a big deal.
M & M. Now that’s candy!
Seriously, who picks a candy that’s not chocolate?! Sheesh.
