Are you excited/shocked that you'll be fifty decades old soon?
What's your favorite historical moment?
Were you very athletic at one point in your life?
What's the biggest technological advancement in this modern day that you are very proud of? (cell phones, TV, cars, etc.)

I'm like Stone Cold. I pop in every so often, despite past his prime and no one wanting him around. He still does that, right?

Neither. Well, for certain there was a time when I doubted I'd make it this far. By all rights from some of the things I've done I could have been dead long ago.

What's your favorite historical moment?
Wow. I don't know. Probably the Apollo program and the lunar landings. It's not a favorite moment for obvious reasons but the JFK assassination continues to fascinate me. And the OKC bombing.

Were you very athletic at one point in your life?
Somewhat I guess. I made it to the Southeastern Championships in swimming when I was 14. And I've done a lot of boxing working out, sparring and coached boxing for several years.

Can't say I'm proud of any of those things because I didn't invent them. But the personal computing revolution (including tablets) is the most impactful thing to happen in my lifetime as technology goes, followed closely by cell phones.
But the most amazing invention ever is the thermos. It keeps things hot and it keeps things cold, but how does it know which to do? (old joke)

It snowed here today   
Tomorrow is the first day of Spring, how ironic

I saw a few still-unmelted remnants of our snowstorm in some shady areas when I went for my walk today. I think we're done with that but still going down to almost freezing tonight.

What are your thoughts of Ireland?!?!?!

Spuds are great right?

Favorite musician and actor?

Favorite musician and actor?

Can't say I have a single favorite in either so I'll list a few that come to mind:

Actors:
The late Phillip Seymour Hoffman RIP
Leonardo DiCaprio (he gradually won me over)
Hillary Swank
Denzel Washington

Musicians:
Tom Morello
Lenny Kravitz
Paul McCartney
Ronnie Wood
Todd Rundgren (perhaps the most giften musician I have ever seen in person)
The late John Bonham (sombody gotta bang those drums)

I did musicians as opposed to singers.

I could go on forever but those are a few.

Chris Benoit?

If you were president of America for a month what'd you do?
Thoughts on abortion
Do you like beans?
Will you make the extremely bad weather go away from here? It's very stormy again =(
How often do you iron your clothes?
Gravy or red sauce?

Scumbag murderer.

If he wanted to kill himself, if he couldn't take life anymore, fine. But to kill his wife and an innocent child, he deserves a special place in hell.

I cannot reconcile "he was out of his mind due to concussive brain damage" with calling in sick to the PPPV and sending texts to make sure no one had reason to send someone by the house to check on him.

He didn't snap. If you snap and go into a violent rage, you don't kiill one person one day, then kill your child the next and yourself after that. He was methoidcal and even covered his tracks with his employer. That takes coherent thought.

If he was capable of forming a thought along the lines of "I'm supposed to be at a PPV, I better make up an excuse," he was capable of forming a thought like, 'I love my family, this is sick, I'm going to call the police and get help," or "I'm going to get out of here before I do something stupid."

What I really hate is the people who go all "He loved his family so much." They better hope no one ever loves them that much. You don't kill people because you love them.

I don't think I would want the job. Presidents can't change laws or such with a wave of a wand, so you can't change all that much in that span of time.
I'd demand to see all the files on the Kennedy assassination and hope they showed me the real truth, just to satisfy my curiosity haha.
Maybe I'd make a trip to Ireland to improve international relations, haha.

Thoughts on abortion
I wish it never happened, except in cases of extreme medical emergency. I wish every child could be born into a loving, caring home. I don't think it should be outlawed.

Do you like beans?
Some I do, some not so much. My favorite are Great Northern Beans -- it's a white bean, kind of like a Navy bean, but more firm.

Will you make the extremely bad weather go away from here? It's very stormy again =(
Yes. Just give me some time.

How often do you iron your clothes?
Never. My wife used to do that but I don't. If they're wrinkled I throw them in the dryer for a few minutes and that seems to sort it out. Of if it's more formal clothes I take them to the dry cleaners.

Gravy or red sauce?
Not sure what red sauce is but I like gravy.

Tomato sauce

Yes

Well I like both on different thiings.

"Red sauce" onn french fries (chips) but gravy on mashed spuds, haha..

Gravy on chicken or turkey, red sauce on burgers.

Etc.

Favorite WWE/TNA wrestler?

All-time probably Chris Jericho for WWE.

Current WWE would be Dean Ambrose and Bray Wyatt.

All-time TNA I'd have to pick Kurt Angle and Sting (more for their careers than what they've done in TNA).

Current I can't say that I have a favorite TNA wrestler but I need to tune in and check out MVP because I always liked him.

Excited for Coker?

Yeldon or Drake?

More interested than excited. He won't be on campus for spring practice so first thing is to see which of the others emerges in the spring.

Henry.

Ooooo.

I've seen some of him. I think Yeldon is the best athlete of the group but had his share of growing pains last year. Henry could be Ron Dayne-style special as a power runner.
