I'm it!

My brother Kevin (http://itskev.blogspot.com) had tagged me. Of course, like him, I don't know why I am doing this. If it give me a reason to post in my blog, then it can't be bad.

A- Available or Single?
Huh? Strange question. I am neither, I guess.

B- Best Friend.
In this world, Glyn and my buddy Jeff are currently on top. I have been blessed with many good friends in this life.

C- Cake or Pie.
Cake. German Chocolate cake is my favorite.

D- Drink of Choice.
I usually drink water, but I also enjoy a beer, a glass of bourbon, or a martini..

E- Essential Item.
Toughest one. I don't think anything in this world is essential. However, right now, it has to be my computer. I spend a good part of my day on it. Mostly chatting with Glyn almost every morning and every night. Having a computer is essential to a long distance relationship these days.

F- Favorite Color.
Blue... It brings out Kevin's eyes. (hehehehe)

G- Gummi Bears or Worms.
I really hate them both.

H- Hometown.
This is a tough question. I was born in Annapolis, MD, and lived most of my childhood (8 years) in Stafford, VA.

I- Indulgence.
Baseball...and smoking a nice cigar. Also, a Quarter Pounder with Cheese. (Don't ask me why, I just love them.)

J- January or February.
January. The beginning of the year, usually some snow, and there is my birthday and my mom's and brother Steve's too.

K- Kids.
None yet. A special prayer goes out to April and Angelo...two children that we lost to ectopic pregnancies.

L- Life is incomplete without…
Baseball.

M- Marriage Date.
My first marriage was 5/20/95. It was the greatest day of my life. We will see what God has in store for me for another one.

N- Number of Siblings?
3. All brothers!

O- Oranges or Apples?
I think I enjoy apples more. Less messy than an orange. Plus nothing rhymes with orange. :)

P- Phobias/Fears.
I used to be afraid of a few things. I am working with God with most of these. The one that has been around the longest is the fear of falling. I used to think it was the fear of heights, but I have been at the top of some of the tallest structures in the world (Sears Tower and the Empire State Building) and was not afraid. Also, I enjoy sitting in the window seat in an airplane. However, get me on a pair of skates, and I am terrified.

Q- Favorite Quote.
"I desire so to conduct the affairs of this administration that if at the end, when I come to lay down the reins of power, I have lost every other friend on earth, I shall at least have one friend left, and that friend shall be down inside me." - Abraham Lincoln. I think this is a great philosophy on life. It is important to be true to yourself.

In second place is: "If you don't live what you believe, you will soon believe what you live" - Father Bill LaFratta. Fr. Bill was my priest in college. This viewpoint on life has been so true.

R- Reasons to smile.
Waking up to a new day.
The start of baseball season. (See indulgences.)
Being in love.
Knowing that God loves me, no matter what.

S- Season(ing).
I like winter, because of Christmas, my birthday, and the snow.
I love basil, because it makes pesto...yum! I also enjoy cayenne pepper in my chili! Spicy!

T- Tag Three.
Arjean (I am too hoping she will blog again).
Joy (I'd like to compare husband and wife).
Steve (I would love to see him blog again).

U- Unknown Fact About Me.
If I tell you, it would not be unknown, would it?

V– Vegetarian or Oppressor of Animals.
Definitely not a vegetarian, so I must be the other one. ;)

W- Worst Habit.
I can be very messy. I can clean up my place, and in a day, it looks like a hurricane went through it!

X– X-rays or Ultrasounds.
I have had both. Ultrasounds are cool because you can usually see what they are doing when they do it.

Y- Your Favorite Foods.
Pizza and Mac and Cheese. These were my favorite foods when I was 5, and they have since remained my favorites. I have also grown to love creme brulee, baklava, apple crisp, and a good steak.

Z- Zodiac.
Capricorn. I don't really follow it too much.
