My sweet husband was willing to spend a few minutes on our anniversary to answer these questions for y’all!
Do you have a good luck charm or ritual?
Yes, it’s having my wife drink wine.
What is your favorite dish that your wife makes for you? Do you have any fun memories of a time when she tried to cook and it totally flopped or does she get it right every time?
Taco bake. My wife even makes it special for me. (Ed note: It’s supposed to have corn in it and French fried onions on top, but I make half of it that way and half of it plain for Dan). I can’t think of any time she has messed up the cooking.
What did you want to be when you were growing up?
Growing up, I always wanted to be an astronaut. However, learning about the space program when I was young, I noticed a distinct trend away from manned space exploration. By the time high school hit, space was just a hobby, and looking back now, that was a good decision.
Which of the five senses is your strongest?
My eyes are pretty good after PRK… But my best sense is probably touch. My skin is very sensitive to touch, making me very ticklish, but it also means I love having my back scratched.
Would you ever run for president?
Yes, I would run for president. No, I would have no chance of getting elected. As y’all (yes, we’re in the South now) know, as readers of this blog, both of us are very libertarian. I just happen to be the more libertarian of the two of us. That being said, I would be happy to carry the banner of the party, and given its size, I wouldn’t rule out the possibility of me being a candidate. However, history has shown it highly unlikely, given our voting system, of any third-party getting a significant number of votes. I think mayor is a realistic goal for retirement, though.
Bonus question: Why do you use so many commas?
(Ed note: Dan did not put any of the commas in this blog post. If he had, there would be twice as many, and all of his additions would be incorrect).
Commas are the spice of writing. I sprinkle them in to add complex flavor to my prose.
