The challenge: Seven things about me (with selected item inspiration from Aprille). Ready, set….
- I was thrilled that this meme gave me a chance to finally use the ordered list tags on WordPress. Maybe this tells you so much about me that you needn’t read further.
- I truly believe that I’m 2.5-3 times more awesome than I actually am.
- I’m of the opinion that no less than 85% of my current personality was formed on the day in 1982 when my parents told my brother and me they were getting divorced. For better or worse.
- I hate half-and-half pizzas. They represent indecision, and indecision is weakness. Don’t get a large half-and-half pizza; get two medium one-topping pizzas and save the leftovers for breakfast and/or lunch the next day.
- I sometimes belch really loudly at home to irritate my wife. But also because I like to see how loudly I can belch.
- When I adjust the volume on my stereo receiver — or anywhere there’s a numeric digital readout — I like to leave it on an even number. Same goes for adjustments in Photoshop. Exposure? +2. Or +.6. Never .7.
- I don’t tell my wife I love her nearly as much as I should (or, by extension, nearly as much as my love for her would indicate I should). I often find myself wondering why this is so, and while I’m wondering about it, I think, “Since you’re sitting here wondering about why you don’t say it more often, why not just say it instead?” And then I don’t say it, and I realize I’m a bad husband.
I’m now supposed to tag seven other people. Gosh. OK. Uh…. Danny. Greg. Ben (we all know you have a blog, Ben!). Cindy. Wendy. WebbUSA. Nathan. Merry Christmas!

I’m gonna do this, only because I’m grasping for material

I’m being honest when I say I tagged you, Cindy, before I read that post today about not having anything to say. You should be thanking me!

I have a blog? Oh, yeah. Last night I had a dream that I left Thisbe somewhere while I was shopping. Totally forgot about her. *WHEW*

[...] but since I rather like Mark and his cute little family and the associated blog, I’ll bite on him tagging me to write seven things about myself. This one’s for you, Mark. Merry [...]

at my dad’s for the holiday, i ordered two half-and-half pizzas, mark. one large, one medium. how about that? i realized i wanted equal amounts of the same thing, but a mere large would not do for our ravenous family. (what can i say? man moves from sicily to small town in western illinois, finds true love, opens pizza parlor with wife, and cleans up for decades with the most delicious pie ever. ) the toppings? sausage. and cheese. period.
