Ten more…line ’em up!
- I was quite possibly the worst baseball player ever as a little kid. After getting hit in the arm by a pitch or two, I decided I was afraid to swing in case I got hit again. So I went to the plate and either walked or struck out. I quit after that season.
- Speaking of baseball, I attended the final game at the old Arlington Stadium and the first game at the new Ballpark in Arlington.
- In a quiet setting, I can hear faint noises quite well. In a noisy situation, I often find it difficult to filter out the background noise so I can understand what people are saying.
- My musical tastes depend on the setting. In the car, I like rock and pop. If I’m studying or napping, I prefer classical or silence. If I’m relaxing at home alone or the only one awake, I like smooth jazz and new age.
- To save water and heating costs, I sometimes turn off the water while I soap up and turn it back on to rinse. Hey, it saves a few gallons! Supposedly Jennifer Aniston does the same thing.
- My first real job was taking care of kids at the City of Coppell Day Camp during the summer after my freshman year of college. I made 10 bucks an hour, not bad for a college summer job. I couldn’t stand my boss. I liked my coworkers and most of the kids. Most of them are probably in college right now. I feel old.
- When people ask how tall I am, and I tell them six feet, they are generally shocked that I’m not taller. I don’t understand why. Maybe it’s my boots with the two-inch heel?
- I admire people who tell me the truth straight-up instead of sugar-coating everything and hiding what they really feel. I like to know where I stand with you. However, I find it difficult to do myself, especially in-person.
- Cruises are my favorite form of vacation. We’re planning one to the Bahamas in October. I can hardly wait!!
- I don’t always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer Sam Adams Winter Lager or Summer Ale or Corona with lime.
