Ten Things About You

[Flower]

Yes but I live with four cats and a male who can sleep standing up ...

I knew it! I knew it! I'M THE GOOD ONE ... 

[Paladin]

Ahh, well that explains it!

Here comes my second 10 

1.   I HATE wearing shoes
2.   I love Van Cliburn playing Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto 1 in B flat minor
3.   I'm the youngest person on our block, but I've lived there the longest

4.   I've got a passion for coffee, NAVY style...(Black, and strong enough to dissolve a spoon).  I also like Frappecinos with two shots of Espresso.

5.   I admire Tim Gunn, Amelia Earhart, FDR, Sally Ride and Neil Armstrong.  I also admire ELIZABETH I, GEORGE VI and his daughter, ELIZABETH II

6.  I'm currently reading THE GREENE MURDER CASE (Philo Vance), THE WRIGHTSVILLE MURDERS (Ellery Queen) and VALLEY OF DECISION by Marcia Davenport.

7.  I visit our local STARBUCKS three or four times a week...It's a hangout for Senior Veterans, and they're great to be around.  Kind of like having my Dad back.

8.  A favourite lunch is a whole wheat pita, stuffed with garlic Hummus and sliced chicken breast.

9.  I love deep, blood red nail polish, but I also wear nude

19.  I am on my 5th copy  of the Franz Waxman BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN CD

I guess that "honorable mention" for me would be...

  Reading, Studying, Thinking, Debating and Learning....
  My admiration for George Marshall, Ronald Reagan, Winston Churchill, Dwight D. Eisenhower & George S. Patton is limitless...
  My politics are right- center...

Wear nude?  I thought the idea of nude was not wearing.

Your right, Flower. If we sit and really think about ourselves then it would probably go on forever.

Nude polish is for when I break a nail:  It makes it less obvious....      Other than that, its blood red, neon fuchsia or grape jelly purple!

1. I've been playing electric guitar for over 30 yrs.
2. I gigged in bars in a rockin' blues band for 2 yrs.' VERY FUN but all we earned was free beer.
3. Then I had a very peaceful band breakup: all of us guys found a girlfriend & got married.
4. I'm obsessed with costumes, Halloween, horror, making Batman appearances and costume events. Thus, I have a scary number of costumes, which are upgraded & keep changing.
5. LOVE riding motorcyles, but quit after 2 very close calls yrs ago. 'Excited my wife does not care if I buy another one and get back into riding. 'VERY impressed with the Honda CBR 600 and other bikes.
6. hooked on convertible sports cars for life and wish I discovered them many moons ago.
7. I work very hard and play very hard.
8. enjoy gardening & maintaining it.
9. LOVE California living.
10. My wife wants me to try stand up comedy, because I have dozens of different voices and accents, and I can play some intense rockin' blues in between jokes. I'd probably do it with an ice cold six pack of beer. 'Drinkin' on the job, baby!

I take it that you have an extremely large insurance policy?   

I know very few bands that have had a smooth break up .. Kudos.

I love my garden too .. it's by me, for me and pleases me and I don't care what anyone else thinks of it.

I agree about your garden. It's a lot of fun to watch 'em thrive. I selected the easiest things to grow that grow very large, yellow sweet brooms, purple and light red bougainvillea, white star jasmine, ivy, honeysuckle, etc.

Yes, peaceful band breakups are quite rare. It helped to have awesome girlfriends and we were a bit tired of Tues and Thurs night rehearsals year-round.

Thought I'd add a second "Ten Things" since I posted the first time 2 and a half years ago.

1.  I once owned 3 dogs at the same time.  Two full-blooded rottweilers (male & female) & a         
     male mixed rottie.

2.  The next dog I owned (and still do) is a YORKIE!!

3.  I once drank 33 draft beers in one sitting, except for getting up to pee twice (and yes, in
     the bathroom!).

4.  When I gave my wife (then, girlfriend) a ring, the local jeweler assured me it was something
     called a pre-engagement or promise ring because I didn't know if I wanted to
     commit at that time.  My girlfriend (now, wife) said gleefully, "Yay!  We're engaged!"  When I
     tried to explain to her it wasn't an actual engagement ring, she assured me that it WAS!
     We were married a year later... and I had a "talk" with the jewelers (two brothers
     I actually knew from the gym I went to - they owned the shop), but everything turned out fine!

5.  I accidently DRANK my wife's contact lenses on our honeymoon.

6.  I was anemic, underweight, sickly & frail from kindergarten till halfway through the 4th grade.

7.  I dated a roller derby chick for awhile.  I also dated a girl wrestler named ""Two-Ton Tessie"
     She didn't weigh two tons, though.  More like 260 or 280.  Later, she had gotten down to
     165.

8.  I wear a 10 a half shoe on my left foot - and a 12 wide on my right.

9.  An alligator tried to come through some boardwalk planks (in The Everglades) to eat me.
     He didn't, though.

10. My 3rd grade teacher, in her very first year of teaching, was also my next door neighbor. 
     She and her husband would come over, play cards and drink beer with my Mom & Dad
     on some weekends.  I held that over her head.

In the toilet?
