1. I started dating Anne Marie when I was just short of my 15th birthday
2. I married Anne Marie when I was just short of my 20th birthday
3. In between those two dates, I didn’t always treat Anne Marie as well as could have. I hope I do a lot better now.
4. I get annoyed with people’s idiosyncrasies, and my own as well
5. I sometimes exclaim: “Man, I am SUCH a freak!”
6. I don’t think Johnny Cash really made that great a contribution
7. I demand too much of my little girls sometimes… but much was demanded of me when I was little and I’m now thankful for it
8. I haven’t written many new songs in the last few years and I sometimes worry that the gift is gone. If it is gone, it found it’s way to Shane. Shane writes good songs.
9. I can sleep anywhere… and it doesn’t have to be quiet either
10. I have wasted many years at my current job. I plan to fix that problem in the next couple of months
11. I once took too many free balloons from the grocery store. My mom made me take them back. I was frightened and humiliated and that day I learned a valuable lesson
12. Some things that I think are funny are actually mean (peace out Shane)
13. I sometimes shamelessly promote my blog
14. I cry almost every time I hear Counting Crows “Miami”
15. I cry when I watch that cheesy “You… complete me” scene in Jerry Maguire
16. I cried for about 10 minutes – actually I wept – after watching Charlize Theron in “Monster” http://www.imdb.com/title/
17. I can’t find or imagine finding another family as knit together or unique as the Krahns.
18. I have three daughters and no desire to have a son
19. I don’t fear aging, in fact I’m looking fwd to it
20. A few years ago, I almost converted to Roman Catholicism. I still consider Thomas Merton a mentor.
21. I like books
22. Sleep is a necessary evil
23. Jack Layton makes me nauseous
24. I have a lot of hope for Barack Obama, although I wish he’d change his views on abortion
25. If anything goes wrong in the USA, Jack Bauer can fix it with threats of violence… and violence.
