ABC, Easy As 123...

This meme's been floating around. Since most of my sixth period class released themselves on their own recognicance, I thought I'd do it.

A- Available or Single – Happily married.

B- Best Friends - Andreas and Jim

C- Cake or Pie – I can't have either since finding I have Celiac Disease (a genetic allergy to wheat) but when I could, I loved pecan pie. My mother used to make me those instead of birthday cakes.

My wife had two cakes made for our wedding-- one a flourless chocolate cake, with strawberries for me, bless her heart, and another without strawberries for my son.

D – Drink of Choice - Ice tea, unsweetened, with lemons, during the day, red wine at night.

E- Essential Item – Pen. And a wine key.

F- Favourite Colour – Red.

G- Gummi Bears or Worms – Gummi worms-- especially the sour ones.

H- Hometown – Chicago, Illinois


I- Indulgence – Naps.

J- January or February - February. Lots of teacher holidays.

K- Kids - 2, a son and a step-daughter.

L- Life is incomplete without - Hot Sauce.




M- Marriage Date – December 30, 2005. We chose it because it was the birthday of Patti Smith, who we both love.

N- Number of Siblings? – 2 Brothers, 44 and 43 years old. I'm 45.

O- Oranges or Apples? - Apples. I like oranges as juice.

P- Phobias/Fears – Needles. How I spent two hours voluntarily getting stuck with a needle to get my tatoo is beyond me.


Q- Favourite Quote - "I've got a tv. You've got a tv. Let's face it, we've all got tvs. Big fucking deal." Iggy Pop, TV Eye

R- Reasons to smile - my kids

S- Season – A spring day in Oakland or Seattle

T- Tag 3 People – Kim, Bubs, Deadspot

U- Unknown Fact About Me – I don't really like Steve Spielberg's movies.

V- Vegetable You Hate – Rutabaga

W- Worst Habit – Clutter

X- X-rays You've Had – Left arm, right foot, teeth, right hand, ribs. I've had a lot of broken bones. I was a little wild when I was younger.

Y- Your Favourite Foods – Ethiopian, Indian, Chinese, Thai

Z- Zodiac – Taurus

No wonder I like your blog after such a short time. I am too a Taurus.

Wishing you well

You just have to give rutabagas a chance! They're great.

Danielle-
I'm also an Ox in the Chinese horoscope. I'm particularly stubborn. Or at least my wife, family and friends seem to think so.

Barbara-
I gave them many, many chances: my father loved them and we ate them all the time when I was a kid. It was like torture.

Lulu-
I had the same question. But I guess there are people who are single, but not available and people who are available, but not single (see "Bill Clinton")
