I had an audition for Jeopardy! once and I didn't make it and basically I consider this my biggest failing in life (obviously aside from online dating).

I have more plans than I do time, which is unfortunate. But I'm better at execution than I used to be. Next up is climbing Mt. St. Helens and skiing down it. Well. Where "it" is not the crater.
UPDATE: Mountain was fogged in and could not climb, tragic. Next year.

One time I went to Iraq for vacation. Last Thursday I accidentally forgot to wear shoelaces to work.

- travel planning. i frequently feel like a pro bono travel agent for my friends.
- Lightroom.
- Scramble with Friends
- using Excel to make graphs to win personal arguments such as whether the increase in average passing yardage in 1995 was a result of the introduction of headset to QB helmets or not (it wasn't, i'm pretty sure). This is what happens when you like numbers but never use them in your professional life.

I play soccer and softball and I ski. "Really good" is pretty relative for all of those.

I'm a big fan of sushi and pork belly, but usually not at the same meal. And I guess just generally MEAT.

I won't judge you by your taste in music or movies or TV if you agree not to do the same for me.

I lied, I will judge you for watching anything on Bravo.

1. Passport
2. Ski boots
3. The constant re-affirmation of getting a bunch of facebook likes when I post something I think is clever.
4. My friends; strangers don't let you keep beating them in Scramble w Friends over and over.
5. Brevity

why nobody gets the "wherefore" question right. English, people.

not exploring the city, and neither are you. Going to a restaurant does not make you Magellan.

Drinking is probably involved.

I used to travel a lot for work; I switched to a position where I have to travel less...and the truth is I kind of miss the craziness. But it was impossible to maintain any kind of social life in Chicago back then.

This was such a boring private thing I'm going to apologize for sharing it.

It's not too complicated. Are you smart and attractive? That's a start. Decent human being? That would be great. Everything else...who knows. Either it works or it doesn't.
