Let's play tag
I feel as giddy as a schoolgirl!
Two Parts of Your Heritage
1. Scottish – this part of me likes to drink whiskey and eat haggis, especially on Burns Night
2. English – this part of me likes to drink anything and call people “tarts” and "bloody wankers”
Two Things That Scare You
1. Living a boring, uneventful life
2. Falling - off cliffs buildings, roofs, mountains, out of bed, etc. A friend of mine has a fear of certain types of cheese, so I don’t feel too bad about admitting this.
Two fears you overcame
1. Germs – not completely, though. Considering I have been in the medical field forever, I’d call where I am a massive breakthrough. I used to be bad, like OCD, hand-washing compulsion bad.
2. Failure (marriage, writing, school, among others).
Two of Your Everyday Essentials
1. Sugar of any variety
2. Listening to news/shortwave radio/old-time radio programs before bed
Two things you are Wearing Right Now
1. A Celtic cross - it was a gift from my brother years ago. Rarely do I take it off, and if I do, it for a very brief time.
2. Irish Setter shoes – the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. They don’t look good with wife beaters, though.
Two things you wore too much this year
1. Mismatched socks – the sock monster is alive and well in our utility room.
2. Underwear – old underwear, that is. You pervs. I need to treat myself better this year and get some good boxers.

Two of Your Favorite Hobbies
1. Woodworking – my brother and I have been making wood signs/mailboxes for years
2. Golfing with my dad, brother, and other very good friends
Two things you learned this year
1. Don’t waste time thinking about what you should be doing – get the hell out there and do it! Sometimes, with hard work, things work out like you hoped for.
2. Hardships are quite humbling. Mine weren’t very bad at all compared to many, many others out there in the world. It may sound corny, but we all need to be helping each other out a bit more.
Two Accomplishments You are Proud of
1. A publisher accepted my book for publication
2. I am going back to college to get another degree
Two Things You Want Really Badly
1. To keep improving as a husband, stepdad, brother, son, etc. To always strive to be a better man.
2. This book to be a success. I am not as interested in it being a financial success; I want people to enjoy it, to pass it on to friends, to say “Now, that was a good book”. Even if they thought it sucked, I want them to say, “Damn, this book sucked, but at least he tried”.
