Ten Pointless Facts About Me

Saw this fun blogger exercise via Forking Mad:

Do you floss your teeth?

Yes, about 1.2 times per day (always once at night, and then irregularly after lunch.) I still have permanent retainers in my mouth (after over 30 years!) so flossing around these is essential.

Tea, coffee, or water?

I’m a fan of all three! Fresh ground coffee each morning, water throughout the day. Tea is mainly a fall and winter afternoon enjoyment. My absolute favorite tea is the Blue Flower Earl Grey from Upton Tea Imports.

Footwear preference?

My selection is somewhat limited due to a large size, so generally whatever is comfortable and not totally ugly? My daily shoe has been a Sketchers Slip-in Sneaker. I work out in some flavor of a Brooks running shoe. More formal occasions get an oxford from Johnston & Murphy or Rockport.

Favourite dessert?

Usually a good cheesecake, or a blackberry pie. Or a slice of cheesecake covered in blackberries?

The first thing you do when you wake up?

Grab a cup of coffee and do some doom-scrolling.

Age you’d like to stick at?

  1. I was still relatively young, loved my job, and my family was completed with the addition of a newborn.

How many hats do you own?

Maybe a dozen? Mostly caps affiliated with Washington State University, Seattle Mariners, or Seattle Seahawks.

Describe the last photo you took?

My wife’s idiot corgi, sitting in the grass looking dumb.

Worst TV show?

Cable news? Not a big fan of most “reality” television. I definitely prefer scripted entertainment or live sports. I need an escape.

As a child, what was your aspiration for adulthood?

I recall leaning toward law enforcement or graphic design. I was definitely not cut out for either of those careers.
