1. I really dislike running in the afternoon/evening/at night. It doesn’t fit with my body’s daily cycle. And then I need to shower (for a second time that day), and end up eating dinner late, and then it’s already 8pm. Morning works much better.
2. For somebody who generally dislikes people (except, of course, the people I like), I sure care an awful lot about what people think about me. I’d say it’s too much, but then how could I tell if I think it’s too much or if I’m just saying that cause people don’t like people who care too much about what people think.
3. As of today, I have been alive 9573 days. Deb has been my significant other for 3759 of those days. 3759 is 9573 backwards. (And that’s almost 40% of my life.)
4. Although I don’t like meeting new people, I find I have an easier time of it now than I used to, especially with people my own age. Some might attribute that to being older. I attribute it to being married.
5. My brother deserves more credit than I give him; I’ve probably had more total hours of fun with him than with any other person. (Though Deb could pass him sometime after she gets past the 50% mark.)
6. I’ve been to three continents, and of those I have not been to the only one I really have a desire to visit is South America. I blame all the Nazis in Argentina for that one. And Evita.
7. Somehow I always end up in plays with male characters being played by female actors. Well, notalways, but at least twice, and both times also involved my love life (or lack thereof): in tenth grade, of course, I was in Guys and Dolls, and a young woman who I’d had a crush on played Big Jule. More importantly, I met my wife thanks to my (minor) roll. In middle school, before I moved to Wisconsin, I was the villain in some Snidely Whiplash-type melodrama where the hero, who at one point had to disguise himself as a woman, was in fact played by a girl I had a crush on. Double cross-dressing neither contributed to nor diminished the crush.
