Beer, martinis or mixed drinks?
I rarely drink, when I do its either mixed drinks or a few exotic liqueurs that I've been introduced too, my favorite being Amarula from Tanzinia(sp).
Movie theater or drive-in?
I love the movie theater especially now that we have the new one three minutes away with stadium seating. This is a big deal for us up here as the next closest theater is more than 25 miles away and nothing special.

Did you play sports in school(if so, which)?
Yes and no I was big on soccer so I would always do intramural and occasionally would practice with the team as a goalie, but I never tried to go for the team after 7th grade as I was racing Karts. We traveled all over the NE for regional and track championships, a few of which I got. A cool little tidbit, for the racing fans out there, my last season racing Martin Truex Jr was running in the same divisionals. Now he's racing Nextel Cup for Dale Jr.
What fun activity do you do that helps keep you centered?
Mtn biking is my activity of choice. I love going out on single track and fire roads and just pushing as hard as I can or coasting along whatever suits my mood.
What is your most treasured keepsake?
Nothing is coming to mind so I'm going to have to cop out I don't know.
What one thing has made you a better person today?
If this can be a person, I would have to say my friend Beth. We have known each other since elementary school. While we don't talk as often as we used to I am confident in saying we were as close as two people can be without the relationship becoming sexual. We pushed each other past breaking points in the past yet were there to pick up the pieces and bitterly defended one another against others. We both helped the other grow, pushed the other to do better, and I know to this day that if something happened and I could go to no one else I could go to her.
If you could have grown up in any decade, which one and why?
I think the 60's would have been interesting. Our country under went so many changes as a result of different events that took place. There was the beginning of the Cold War, the Lunar landings, the Kennedy assassination, the civil rights movement, and so many more that had such a profound impact on the country we are today. It would have been cool to have experienced them first hand, but who knows maybe people will look back upon the current events of today the same way in forty years.
You can pick one super-power to possess, which one and why?
When I first read this question I thought this was in reference to a country, how weird . Back to the question I think it would probably be time travel. To be able to go back and see each of the great civilization would be incredible, not to mention put an end to this nagging question of what did the Dinosaurs really look like?

Yeah tell me about it, not to much love!

I love baked potatoes but usually have fries.
On girls, polished nails or natural?
My nails are natural but some of the guys I work with have polished
If you had to live with a family member for a year, who would it be?
I still live at home. That said I couldn't live with my sister Holly if you paid me.
If you had $10,000 to spend in one store ON YOURSELF, what store would you choose?
I would need a fashion consultant but clothing from an upscale store like Neiman Marcus or the botiques on Lincoln Rd in Miami. Places I wouldn't shop at normally but if it was free I could appreciate.

I've met quite a few famous people, the Yankees and Red Sox right after each won the World Series, alot of Hollywoods A-list most of whom I didn't even recognize, Bruce Willis an @ss, Will Farrell so funny. I've seen Bill Clinton perform w/ Blues Brothers. Steven Tyler, Kid Rock, and whole lot of country singers playing on tables on the other end of the pit. Made an @ss of myself with John Mayer, didn't believe him when he told me what he did for living. His sis showed me her ID.

What was the first pet you owned, name, and one great memory about him/her?
The first pet that was mine was a barn kitten that my sister Holly and I adopted and named Kuddles.
Have you ever acted on a stage, and if so, what role/play?
No, I don't do well in front of large groups of people.
What is your favourite song to sing karoake style?
I would never subject someone to my singing
If you could only take three things to a desert island, what would they be and why?
My first reaction is to answer a beautiful woman but when I put some thought into it I realize the novelty would wear off pretty quick if she couldn't carry on a conversation. If I can't be that picky I want one of those multi tools like a Leatherman. Second would be lots of water. Finally, can I have a Genie to get everything else I would want.
ps Is this a desert island or a deserted island?
If you had to listen to only one piece of music for the next three months, what would it be and why?
It would have to be one of those really long classical pieces, the fewer times it repeated the better for my sanity. There is no way I could tolerate a modern song looping every four minutes.
If you could visit anywhere in Canada, where would it be?
It would have to be Newfoundland of coarse. Andreau has to work for the tourism dept the way he has sold your beautiful island to all of us.

oops....a deserted island.  Duh.  And although I don't live in Nfld, I agree that Andreau could definitely be a tourism employee!  Hard not to sell the rock though ... it's amazingly beautiful.  Of course, it's a close second to my province ... Nova Scotia

Would you go on Fear Factor and what type of their "challenges" would freak you out the worst?

Would you go on Fear Factor and what type of their "challenges" would freak you out the worst?
Yeah I don't know if I would go on Fear Factor. The two challenges that I've seen that freaked me out were the plexiglass box full of snakes, and the team challenge with those slimey african fish. I 'm also not a fan of eating bugs even if it's for that kind of money.

Oh yes, its always nice to see someone who has job worse than your own. It makes it so much easier to go to work and laugh.
