What turns you on, excites, or inspires you creatively, spiritually, or emotionally? My kids when they’re being super cute, smart or funny. The landscape of this great place and the fact we can live here full time.

Can you drive stick? Yes, but it’s been a few years and it was a long hard battle.
What is your favorite quote? Not so much quotes as Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy.
“To me, it’s always a good idea to always carry two sacks of something when you walk around. That way, if anybody says, “Hey, can you give me a hand?,” you can say, “Sorry, got these sacks.”"
If you want to be the popular one at a party, here’s a good thing to do: Go up to some people who are talking and laughing and say, “Well, technically that’s illegal.” It might fit in with what somebody just said. And even if it doesn’t, so what, I hate this stupid party.
Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: “Mankind”. Basically, it’s made up of two separate words - “mank” and “ind”. What do these words mean ? It’s a mystery, and that’s why so is mankind.

How far do you hit a 7-iron? Don’t hit one
Do you have any Brothers or Sisters? One of each, both older. Sharon and Gary/Garrett. I say slash not because he has a split personality but because he legally changed his name to Garrett when he was about 35. I know it’s not that much of a stretch but it’s still weird so I just say “Hey…you.” I hope he reads this!
Do you have any pets? Two cats. Ash & Raimundo. Guess who named them. Raimundo only has 1 life left because he spent the night 60 feet up in a tree in January and lived to tell about it to the man we had to pay $100 to climb up and retrieve him. Update: Raimundo ran out of lives and disappeared last month.
