By request from my lovely bride, here are ten more random facts about me. I hope I don’t run out of these!
- I hate makeup and wish no one used it, except possibly in theatrical applications. Ladies, you don’t need makeup to be beautiful!
- In no particular order, my favorite beverages are water, Coke, coffee, and wine. Three of the four are diuretics. Hmm.
- I have a huge mole on my scalp just above my right ear. Until I shaved my head, only a few people knew it was there because it wasn’t visible.
- My political views don’t align well with any party, which makes it hard to vote. I think the person is more important than the party and can’t stand straight-ticket voting. I think America would be better off without political parties.
- Growing up, my favorite toys included Pound Puppies, Legos, my bike, and Nintendo and Super Nintendo.
- Traveling is one of my favorite hobbies, particularly cruises because they are so easy. Someday I would love to cruise Alaska, Hawaii, and the Mediterranean. And maybe even Antarctica.
- Due to limited competiton, I was voted Best Supporting Actor in high school for my performance as John Brooke in our one-act version of Little Women.
- I auditioned for the role of John Brooke partly because I would get to kiss the girl who would play Meg, John’s love interest.
- Right after college, I sang bass and baritone for a year with the Irving Chorale, a great local choir. Since the group comprised mainly retired people, I was by FAR the youngest singer there. I think there was one guy in his 30s. If you like choral music, I recommend attending one of their shows.
- I prefer singing bass because A) it’s a relatively easy part (just hit the lowest note in the chord) and B) my sightreading skills aren’t great. I can sing baritone or even low tenor, but it wears me out both mentally and vocally. I miss choir and would rejoin one if I had time.
