What hidden talents do you possess?
I'm not sure about this one... the few talents I have aren't exactly hidden.  Let's see.. I can make that sound like water dripping by flicking my cheek.  That's a good one.  I make killer fajitas.  And lasagna.  And I can break dance.  But that's so hidden even I can't find it.  Oh yeah, and I can make a whole pizza disappear.

Greatest fear in life?
That my son will be as big a pain in the butt as I was to my parents.  God help me, I know they're rootin' for it!  (My Dad calls my son "Grandpa's Revenge"). 

If you could be any animal, what would it be and why? 
I think I might go for being a grizzly bear.  They are a beautiful animal, but don't get them angry.  And they get to sleep whenever they want.  I like that part.  A lot.

Person you most admire in life (fictional or non-fictional).
I would have to say Larry Roberts, who was the head of the radio organization I worked for in Montana.  He was an infallible man of his word, devout in his Faith, and in addition to being a great employer, he is also a lifelong friend.  He achieved great success while refusing to compromise principle.

Biggest Pet Peeve?
I hate 10 Question Quizzes.  They really "grind my gears".  (Just kidding!)  Truth be told, I think it might be when people smoke right next to you when you are eating.  I realize there are "smoking" sections and all that, but even if you are in an area where you CAN smoke, have some courtesy for the person next to you.  You can wait a few minutes to allow someone to finish their meal, for cryin' out loud!

Favorite Super hero as a kid (or now if that's your thing)?
I was a big fan of the Fantastic Four as a kid.  Of course, Batman and Superman were just a given.  SpiderMan was cool, too.  AquaMan, ehhhh... not so much.  I liked Shazam (Captain Marvel) and The Mighty Isis on Saturday mornings.  And who wasn't in love with Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman!

Favorite guilty pleasure? 
I am a sucker for Lemon Creme Pie and Key Lime Pie.  Can't say no.  Don't wanna say no.  And if I was a grizzly bear, no one could stop me! 

First thought you have when you wake up in the morning?
"Oh, man, is it that time already?"

Best way to spend an evening?
Watching a hockey game, playing live music, or being with the one you love.

What is on your bedside table?
A few books, a back scratcher, TV remote. (What, were you expecting to find - a George Foreman grill?)
