48 questions about me...
Ooooohhhhh... meme! I think. Maybe it's not. These days, they call those photos with weird typed-over captions "memes," so I don't know what to believe anymore.
Screw it. I'm calling it a meme anyway.
Anyway, I stole this from Karl.
1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
I share a middle name with my dad, but otherwise, no.
2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?
With joy? Any little thing my infant son, Nathan, does elicits tears of joy. With pain or dread? When my wife, Katie, went under the knife for the c-section that brought Nathan into this world.
3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
It works for me and usually ticks off anyone who tries to read it, so yes.
4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?
Black Forest ham.

One son, Nathan.

Um, no. Never. Why would I?
See what I did there?

Yarp.

I like to know what's going on, so they're important. But the whole political process depresses me to no end.
25. MOUNTAIN HIDEAWAY OR BEACH HOUSE?
I get freaked out by the sounds in forests and the threat of being mutilated by strange, banjo-thumping mountain folk, so beach house.

Gray.

Rainbow sherbet. Or jello.
