I’m father to two young boys. The older is a toddler who I’m getting to know pretty well. It’s my understanding that the chicks dig him. The younger is still an infant and is still a bit of a mystery. I’m married to a wonderful, bright woman who I admire. She’s what I need. She’s uncommonly sweet with a voice to match and that sometimes misleads people into thinking she doesn’t have a will of iron.

I read fun books by Nick Hornby and watch dark movies like Se7en. I play sports with round objects like basketball and tennis (although it’s been forever since I’ve been on the court). I sometimes drink hot tea and often talk without saying anything. I can also juggle.
