What’s something you can’t live without?
My guitar – music feeds the soul! (Second Place goes to an early morning, hot mug of coffee.)
Guilty pleasure?
The salty crumbs and remains of broken Doritos at the bottom of the bag, always to be washed down with a can of cold Coca Cola.
What’s a book that changed your life?
The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan (nerd alert! There are actually fourteen books in this series, which I enthusiastically recommend.)
Home-cooked meal or take-out?
I’ll roll with a to-go meal, as needed, although I really enjoy cooking and baking. I make a pretty mean spaghetti with homemade meatballs, and my chocolate chip cookies are well-appreciated in goûter circles.
Childhood idol?
Spiderman and/or Wolverine. I spent an awful lot of time in front of the television. On any given day, I would have been hard-pressed to claim either comic book hero as my #1 idol. A hybrid version of these two characters would be awesome: a web-slinging hero with adamantium claws… this would make for some interesting mischief :-).
What’s one thing you’d say to your past-self?
Build more Legos. (Also, male pattern baldness runs in the family.)
Cat person or dog person?
Growing up, we had a dog (Shadow) and there were always a couple of cats in our home. These days, my family includes our two Siamese cats.
What role would you play in a movie?
I would be John McClane in the movie Die Hard, whose character was played by Bruce Willis.
What was your first concert?
Although I can’t recall the very first concert, one of my fondest memories was seeing the Black Crowes open for Robert Plant (Manic Nirvana Tour).
Favorite TV series?
9
There are too many to choose from, however, Game of Thrones was very entertaining, and I think HBO did a great job of transmitting the details and ambiance from the novels into a visual format.
