ABC Meme
'cause I don't wanna be grading.
Accent: Currently, none that I know of, but recordings of the high school "me" reveal a distinctive Delmarva accent. What is a Delmarva accent, you ask? I'll give you a hint: it begins with an H and rhymes with "hick."
Booze: Though wine is not booze per se, I begin there. But bourbon (manhattans, preferably) is my spirit of choice.
Chore I Hate: Litter box clean-up. also grading.
Dog or Cat: Cats.despite the answer above.
Essential Electronics: my lap top, which I fear I may be vaguely addicted to, esp email.
Favorite Cologne(s): Pi, by Givenchy, I think?
Gold or Silver:Silver, though platinum is even better. You can take the boy out of the city, but you can't take the expensive tastes out of the boy.
Hometown: Delmarvelous Milford Delaware, home of...umm...Milfordians.
Insomnia: I'm too tired for insomnia.
Job Title: Assistant Professor
Kids: twin toddlers, who have recently relaunched their website!
Living arrangements: Large Single family home that in WV cost only a bit more than the townhouse we owned in suburban DC.
Most admirable trait: I dunno. I think I'm perfect, so there are so many to choose from...Seriously, I think I'm a good friend, partner and dad. And that's what I'm most proud of.
Number of sexual partners: Currently, one, which is all I expect to need.
Overnight hospital stays: several before age 6. Since then, none. I've been lucky.
Phobias: None actually pathological. Basic fears? aloneness, probably.
Quote: "Everyone is sayin' that hell's the hippest way to go. Well, I don't think so, but I'll take a look around" Joni Mitchell, "Blue".
Religion: Raised Evangelical Protestant, currently questioning, well, everything.
Siblings: Sister, younger by almost exactly three years;
Time I wake up: When it's my turn, when the children wake up, usu. around 7:30. When it's not my turn, I often get to sleep in until as late as 8:30. Three years ago, I would have considered 8:30 to be a horror, and now it's a luxury.
Unusual talent or skill: Double jointed thumbs, a fairly solid baritone singing voice, and excellent impressions of both Grover doing his "near/far" schtick, and a Macy's Thanksgiving day parade balloon.
Vegetable I refuse to eat: Olives.
Worst habit: ermm...talking too much, especially when I know should shut up.
X-rays: Teeth, chest, ankles, several fingers, elbow, kidneys.
Yummy foods I make: my favorites are chocolate orange pots-de-creme, pan seared Duck Breast with vanilla lavender sauce, and I believe I have finally perfected a good old fashioned omelet (improved by truffled olive oil). Sweet god, I think being a foodie may be my worst habit.
Zodiac sign: Gemini, whose upsides are being chatty, intellectually curious, charming, but who are also characterized as being two-faced, vain, and unreliable. Today I am charming. Tomorrow, who knows?
