16 Things
1.I love eccentrics. I like my own eccentricities. They provide interest, flavor and character. If you are an eccentric, chances are we’d get along.
2.I believe words are important. I believe it’s important to choose our words carefully, and to check ourselves before we speak. I have to work at this on a daily basis, and I frequently fall short. But this doesn’t change my belief.
3.Books comfort me.
4.I love The Office and Survivorman. And I watch reruns of West Wing and Law and Order when there’s nothing else on TV.
5.I’m a current events junkie. I live for Tuesdays when Newsweek arrives, I listen to NPR in the car, and Frontline rocks!
6.I love to write. I love witty emails and the clever use of words. Reading other peoples clever writing feels like a brain-tickle.
7.The current economic crisis has really tuned me into simple pleasures, and I’m grateful for an abundance of them. Laughing with my wife, hiking with friends, walking the dogs, yardwork. For right now, I’m really OK not accumulating ‘stuff’.
8.I’ve come close to dying twice. I don’t remember being scared of death either time. I wonder if it will be like that when death comes . . .
9.I can be moody, impatient, and intolerant. I don’t like that about myself.
10.My barber now has to trim my eyebrows and ear hairs each month lest I look like Andy Rooney.
11.I love the ocean, stormy weather, and my wife’s soup. It’s a red-letter day when I can have all three.
12.Even though the world seems full of chaos and lost-ness, I have Hope that things will Change. (Guess who got my vote…?)
13.I believe deeply in Resilience.
14.I believe in Karma, and Paying It Forward, and asking ‘why?’.
15.I hate to be around whinny-ness, complaining, or naggy people.
16.I believe that education is the answer to most of our problems. Not that you need to have the same ideas I have, or think the way I do -- but I think learning new things, exploring different ideas, debating the pros and cons, and using words to express ourselves is how we learn to all get along with one another.
