My sister's MIL insists that I look just like LA Lakers coach Phil Jackson but I just don't see it. Maybe just barely before I lost the rest of the hair up top but not any longer.


How about you? Ever been told you look like somebody famous?

when I was young, young I was told I looked like Molly Ringwold. Not so much now :p




Do you wear any jewelry on a regular basis?

Just a watch and that's not even an automatic thing anymore.


Do you still have your high school class ring?

yes but I got a nontradtional one not the kind with the funky colored stones. Mine was onyx and gold


What are the sure signs of aging?

Hmmm, I guess I'd say for me it was the going bald and having the hair in my beard turn white. Those were the ones others would notice. Other than that, falling asleep during the late news and waking up at the end of Letterman on a nightly basis. :rofl:


Do you remember your first date?

Yes. Or more so the first boy I was crazy for.

How many people have you been in love with?

This is one I've really sort of debated over the years. It's either three or four.

Several vie for that title ... hmmmmm ...

1. My wife and my first "overnight" vacation to southern Illinois when our oldest daughter was two.
2. Smokey Mountains
2. Washington, DC with a family we're good friends with
3. Trip to Star Lake in northwestern Wisconsin
4. Several trips to Presque Isle, WI to stay with friends at their summer home
5. Niagara Falls last year
6. ... dang ... just too many to pick one as a favorite. All had their special moments.

Where do you like to go for a good dinner out?

My favorite place to go is Ohana Steakhouse in Des Moines.


What's the largest city you've ever visited?

Been to both Tokyo and New York ... just not sure which is the largest of the two although, I suspect it's Tokyo.

How do you feel about seeing doctor's of the opposite gender?

Doesn't bother me at all.


Do you have your cholesterol checked regularly?

yep just last week!

Sex takes first place. Walking, especially in parks or natural settings is maybe my favorite non-sexual activity.
