Fun Facts:
- If you could rid the world of one thing, what would it be?
If I had to rid the world of one thing, it would be the endless television commercials. It seems there is more time devoted to the commercials than the original program. Most commercials are very meaningless and easy to forget, but quite annoying. If we got rid of the commercials, television viewing would be what it was intended to be, entertainment.
- What is the funniest thing you did as a kid that your parents still talk about to this day?
One of the finniest things I did as a kid was stumble across a bottle of Pepto Bismol. My eyes were immediately attracted to the vibrant pink bottle. What a great play thing this bottle would be. I shook the bottle and then gnawed on the round white top. After gnawing on the cap for a short period of time, “whoops” there went the cap and out came the mysterious , magical pink liquid all over the white carpet. Although Mom thought it was “cute” that I was playing with the Pepto Bismol bottle, she was not too happy to learn that the mysterious, magical pink liquid left a stain on the carpet that could not be removed.
- What is one thing very few people know about you?
Very few people know that I make many mysterious noises in the morning preparing for the day. Most of these noises are the result of the aches and pains of growing old. This is the joys of growing old, but it sure beats the alternative.
- If you could instantly become an expert in something, what would it be?
Since I do not own an iPhone, it would probably benefit me to become an expert with this device. Then it would eliminate the following conversation with my wife: “Honey, how do I turn on this complicated machine?” She responds: “Dear, pressing the little dot on the bottom of the phone might help.”
