His eyes, followed by his smile...but I'm really just in total awe of his whole body.


Oops! Sorry--was lost in fantasy for a minute. ;)


Do you procrastinate?

LOL. Well, I'm "working" right now... I'd have to say yes.

Do you work better with the radio on in the background?

Yes, usually. At home, though, if I'm alone (i.e., no kids) I usually keep it quiet. It's nice not having Cartoon Network screaming in my ear. :)

Do you like shopping at the mall?

Honestly, sometimes I do. Would rather be shopping at Home Depot, though. LOL

What's your favorite indulgence when you go out shopping?

Buying things for people I love. No kidding.

Do you have a cell phone, and do you like it?

I have a cell phone on me 24 hours a day... It can be good at times (when my wife and daughter call when I'm on the road) and bad others (when work calls while I'm home).

Do you ever miss the "simpler times" before technology?

Sometimes I can hardly remember that. I often think that my children might be short-changed because of technology when I think about all the fun my sister and I had growing up, interacting with other kids our age, playing outside, etc., but, without technology, I wouldn't be able to do what I do for a living. I also have someone I try to keep in touch with very frequently, and I know I'd be missing a lot without computers, cell phones, etc.

How do you choose where to eat when out and about?

I think we've got about a half doze "favorites" that we usually pick from, but then ever few months we'll pick another place we've never or seldom been to. That's fun. Try to get out at least once a month ... usually twice.

(The short answer is she tells me ... :D :D ... just teasing.)

Got your tree up yet for Christmas? In any case, when do you set it up and when do you take it down?

not yet...we wait til after my bday and take it down New Year's Day



Do you celebrate Christmas?

Boy howdy do we celebrate Christmas!

From tree tagging, cutting and decorating ceremonial pictures to town lighting and caroling gatherings. After all, it's the hap, happiest season of all!


Do you spend too much money on presents?

Not really. I tend to make a number of gifts that I give out (I do wood working and wood carving). We've also been doing more "family gifts" which are better in my mind. For my sister's family, instead of buying gifts for 5 individuals, we got them a night at a hotel/indoor waterpark.

What's the best gift you've gotten?

My young cousin cut a small piece of birch tree and used his woodburning kit to burn a heart with my wife and I's name into it, like a couple of teenagers would carve their names into a tree trunk. I love that gift and will keep it forever.

What was your favorite gift and why?

a bingo machine a friend got for me cuz it was so corny


What are you planning for this weekend?

Building a barn in the snow

What's your favorite season?
