Hollidaysburg Golden Tigers - not far from the world famous Horshoe Curve – been there? – Did I mention “world famous?”
Penn State University – not to be confused with U. Penn or the State Penn – it is evidently insulting to one of those. BSEE – that’s right, electrical engineering – you can’t spell GEEK without EE.
Dallas Theological Seminary – Masters in Theology in Old Testament and Historical Theology.
If I could snap my fingers and appoint the next President of the United States along with 5 other key leaders to lead our country from among anybody in our nation’s history, the next President and additional 5 leaders would be...
Elvis for President: He would bring style, and the world would be unanimously supportive of him – or at least his music. And the Memphis mafia would clean up other people’s drug problems.
Abraham Lincoln deserves at least one more term. And he gave short memorable speeches.
Jonathan Edwards – greatest American theologian ever. He gave very long sometimes memorable speeches.
Martin Luther King Jr. – He had a dream and it is still a good one.
Chuck Norris – just visit www.ChuckNorrisFacts.com and you will know why. I would trust Chuck Norris to appoint the other 2 leaders. He may decide we need more or less.
When it
comes to spring cleaning …
I am still raking and
bagging leaves in our yard. (Red Oak leaves in the fall, Live Oak leaves in the
Spring, Magnolia leaves all year round)
Right now I am reading …
Church Unique – by my good friend Will Mancini
The Hobbit (Tolkein) – with the kids
And 7 or 8 other books I hope to finish but probably won’t.
My
favorite book beside the Bible is… Tough one…not sure if I can choose “A” favorite.
My favorite movie of all time is…“of all time…” that is tough: Caddyshack? O Brother Where Art Thou? Shawshank Redemption?
If given
the choice, the one thing I would certainly do before summer would be …
Get back to playing squash.
When I
think of the “greatest,” the first thing that comes to my mind is…because….
My family…they provide
all of the extremes in life.
One thing
in life that is working for me is…
My coach pitch curve
ball J
One thing
in life that is not working for me is…
Just one thing? My master bathroom (a slooooow
remodel), my fiat spider, my Macbook pro wireless connection at home (ugggh.
NOTE: it is an AT&T problem. I refuse to believe it is a Mac problem!)
What is the most memorable quote you have heard or read recently? “Daddy, I love you.”
If given
the choice, the one thing I would never taste again would be … I will eat pretty much anything, but I
have eaten more greenbean casserole (with cream of mushroom soup) in my
lifetime than I ever care to taste again.
If I were
in the unfortunate situation, my last meal would be…
Several courses…Sushi (actually sashimi), Pizza, a great ribeye, and tiramasu.
If I were
given all the needed talents and abilities, I would be the lead singer of …The Band. My
wife thinks Rush…they sing fast.
The most
recent/or most frequently played music on my ipod was…
Fernando Ortega’s latest album.
The one
box set that I would take with me on a desert island to watch would be ... Seinfeld. I wouldn’t be so eager to get
back to the nothingness of city life.
My favorite
color is…because…Blue –
because the sky is blue, proving that God is a Penn State fan too.
One of the
hardest things you’ve gone through that I don’t mind sharing…Beth says that one of the hardest things
that I’ve gone through (i.e. she has gone through – along with an infant) is
the first 2 weeks after my knee surgery.
One thing people might never know about me if I didn't tell... That I really am Spider Man (and don't just look like a middle-aged Peter Parker).
