1. The most embarrassing thing that ever happened to me was when I was walking with my date by a pool. She slipped. I tried to grab her and ended up with the top half of her bikini in my hand. She ended up in the pool.<br /><br />2. One of my daughters poured 4oz. of Chanel #5 into the toilet. . . "because it says toilet water on it". I thought it was funny, even if her mom didn't.<br /><br />3. Three things I like about JB:<br />* I don't compromise my values even when they are unpopular.<br />* I respect others' points of view.<br />* I accept responsibility for my mistakes.<br /><br />4. The best things about my life right now are my genetic family and my iboats family.<br /><br />5. Can't sing. Did the stand-up thing and liked it. Audiences didn't <br /><br />6. Most people here don't know that I am a pretty good artist.<br /><br />7. Not only did I make it to midnight NYE, I made it sober. <br /><br />8. I do not believe intelligent life exists on other planets and I sometimes doubt that it exists on this one. <br /><br />9. Favorite landmark is the Crazy Horse Memorial being carved on Thunderbird Mt. in SD.<br /><br />10. I think the most important invention of the last 50 years is definitely the microprocessor.

Re: Weekly Q&A - 1/2-1/8/2005

1. What was the most embarrassing thing that happened to you? When I was about 14, I was "dating" my Dad's boss' daughter who was older than me. We were at an amusement park in Europe and went through a "tunnel of love" ride. I tried to sneak a kiss and she was sucking her thumb. We broke up immediately due to my humiliation.<br />2. What was the funniest thing either you or one of your kids has done? A couple of years after being married, I was having a great dream. Problem is, I was dreaming that I was peeing and woke myself up when I felt a warm feeling in my midsection. My wife was pretty pissed off but at least I stopped before getting to the mattress.<br />3. Describe three things you like about yourself. <br />a. I have a healty family.<br />b. I have good friends.<br />c. I have an abundant life. <br />4. What is the best thing about your life right now? I feel like I am living my life like God would have me do.<br />5. If you had to choose between being a stand up comic or singing in a band, what would you choose? I'd probably get more laughs singing, but I'd like to do some stand-up.<br />6. What is one talent most people here don’t know that you have? I sing in the shower.<br />7. Did you make it all the way to midnight New Year's Eve? No. I'm way too old to stay up that late (I'm 34)! I'm a morning bird while my wife is a night owl. It's amazing that we have 3 kids.<br />8. Do you believe in life on other planets? I believe that God is all-powerful. It wouldn't surprise me at all that He created other life on other worlds. It's not as if He couldn't do it.<br />9. Favorite U.S. or World Landmark? The best I have seen are some of the castles off of the Rhine river in Germany. Amazing bits of architecture.<br />10. What would you consider the greatest invention in the last 50 years? Being an internet programmer, I'd have to say the internet.

1. What was the most embarrassing thing that happened to you?<br /><br />I was speaking at a youth rally (talking about dating and modesty in dress) and to add emphasis to my points I came down off the platform and to the front row of kids. I then put my foot up on a chair to "chat" one-on-one with them. Well, the snickers started and grew from the front of the auditorium to the back. Here my zipper was at half mast and it was gapping wide, and the white underwear contrasted very well with the dark blue jeans!<br /><br />2. What was the funniest thing either you or one of your kids has done?<br /><br />Oh my, too many to choose from. Seems like we are always doing zany things. See # 1 for an example.<br /><br />3. Describe three things you like about yourself.<br /><br />My integrity (what you see is what you get)<br />My amazing good looks - at least that is what the wife says!<br />My humility - HA - or should I say my sense of humor?<br /><br />4. What is the best thing about your life right now?<br /><br />My relationships - with my God, my wife, my kids, and my friends.<br /><br />5. If you had to choose between being a stand up comic or singing in a band, what would you choose?<br /><br />If I stood up and sang, I would be a stand up comic! So I will have to go with that one.<br /><br />6. What is one talent most people here don’t know that you have?<br /><br />I am a pretty good cook.<br /><br />7. Did you make it all the way to midnight New Year's Eve?<br /><br />Yes, wife and a couple of friends watched a movie. Then when midnight came we yelled "Happy New Year!" kissed our wives, prayed for God's guidance, protection, and blessing in 2005, listened to the fireworks, and went to bed.<br /><br />8. Do you believe in life on other planets?<br /><br />Spinner and OBJ are proof of that!<br /><br />9. Favorite U.S. or World Landmark?<br /><br />Dunno, but when flying I love to see the US eastern seaboard. Then I know I am not far from home!<br /><br />10. What would you consider the greatest invention in the last 50 years?<br /><br />Internet - Thanks Al!
