The Overdue Blog

I saw some bloggers had this going today, and since I've fallen so far off-pace, thought I'd jump-start the writing part of my brain again. I think I've told 12 people about the blog, but haven't posted much since. How dare I let down these 12 people?


Name one thing you do every day:
Well, of course I brush my teeth every day. But the one thing that helps me get motivated is to take a shower. It's the one thing that wakes me up, and makes me feel normal. Some people have coffee in the morning, I need a shower.

Name five things/people that make you feel good:
I like talking to my sister and giving her general crap. That's what being an older brother is all about, right?
Random naps on weekend afternoons. Very rare.
Seeing a really good movie. (This sometimes is rare too.)
Swimming in my pool. Well, to be accurate, floating around on a tube, shades on, reading a book or magazine in the pool. One of the things about SoCal I can indulge in.
Hitting a fastball on the sweet spot and driving the ball a long way. Or, at least, into the netting, visualizing the flight of the ball and imaging I'm in Fenway.

Name four things you love to eat but rarely do:
Chocolate cake
Chocolate milk
Popcorn
Hot dogs
(Chocolate related items- such is life on a diet.)

Name three things that remind you of childhood:
Christmas decorations. Putting things around my house in December always makes me think of growing up.
Cigar smoke. Back in the 70's men could smoke in ballparks. I always think of baseball and being a kid when I smell cigar smoke.
Fresh baked chocolate chip cookies. My Mom had the ability to make cookies and have them cooling when we walked in the door.


Name two things you wish you could learn:
How to draw. Actually, I can do stick figures, so... How to draw well.
How to woo women. You know, so I can get the chicks. In truckloads.

Okay! Will try to be better at posting new blogs soon.
