I enjoy many things, but consider myself to be a unique blend of indoor and outdoor person. Love to sit on a patio drinking a few beers with friends, watching a football game or listening to music. But, I am just as comfortable spending Sunday morning reading the newspaper or watching a movie.
I’ve spent a considerable amount of time, effort and money to come up with this list of Top 10 Reasons You Should Meet Me; I’ve asked ex-girlfriends, family, friends, co-workers, everyone who voted in both the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire Primary, Bill and Hillary Clinton (but I disregarded Bill’s advice), both Presidents Bush and****Cheney (and was too scared to ignore his advice). Well, here is the list and hope that you respond…maybe even come up with your own list.
1. I have a funny, dry sense of humor; think Conan O’Brien without the pale
skin, red hair, and grotesquely large forehead
2. You will never, ever, ever, ever lose at Trivia with me by your side. I
am proud of this despite being constantly reminded by my mom that “they
call if trivia for a reason, Richard” (if you call me Richard, you will
understand why I flinch)
3. I am left-handed and, therefore, one of the few men you have ever met who
is literally in his right mind
4. I was recently carded when I ordered a beer; unfortunately, I was at Taco
Mac and they carded my 77 year old father as well
5. I have been told that I have the body of a 20 year old; this was followed
with “a 20 year old Sharpei” (this isn’t true but I love those dogs, and
wanted to get them onto the list)
6. I have a great relationship with my kids; they even have nicknames for
me, such as HATM (the Human ATM), MPPB (My Personal Piggy-Bank) and my
favorite MEFE (Most Embarrassing Father Ever)
7. I epitomize the Mark Twain phrase that golf was “a good walk wasted”, but
damn I have some good clothes from it
8. My best friend are my parents; I use to think this was sad, until I
realize that they are the two most incredible people I’ve ever met (oh,
and they wrote some good reference letters for me if you want one)
9. I have an almost photographic memory, but the phrase I’ve memorized that
has helped me the most is “you’re right honey, how could I be so stupid?”
10. I will treat you with respect, shower you with affection and make you
laugh every day of your life; you will think you were reborn as a true
Goddess
