HEY! Anyone still around?

So, this next person’s answers are a bit outdated, but still….it gives us a bit of a clue or insight into their world, and really that’s what this is all about. Isn’t it fun to feel like you are snooping in on someone else’s life…even if you have their permission and they are actually sharing it with you…it somtimes feels like you have an “inside track” into their life.

Well, Next up and at this point the last one I currently have, and so if you were thinking of getting in on this action…e-mail me or I’m just gonna have to start making things up….anyway, next up is….

Uncle Rick.

Here he is at the New Years Day party..with Cole..look how little Cole is in this picture.

Uncle Rick is one of my MOST Favorite Uncles….but then I say that about all of them. They are all special in their own way. Uncle Rick is the 3rd out of 4 boys in his family, and so he should get a medal just for managing to stay alive as they all grew up. He is so kind and gentle and funny, and I love him dearly.

Here are the questions and answers from him.

1. What are the top 5 most played/listened to songs in your iPod, Mp3player, Discman, Walkman, Radio, Computer Streaming software program, Cassette Deck, 8 Track Player or record player….have I covered all the areas?

I love the new Lifehouse cd, the new Starfield (Matty took me to the concert for fathers Day), Daughtry and Rascal Flats

2. Who are the last 3 people that you spoke to on the phone and why?

Auntie Linda, cause she is down in Florida helping Char and Jeff with the newest grandson Luke, Grandpa K so I could empty the water tank on the trailer for him, and I screen all the calls on my cell phone cause I don’t like to waste time !

3. What is at the top of your shopping list right now?

Food, I haven’t bought much in the last three weeks while Linda has been away and I better get some before she gets back.

4. Where “in the world” would you most rather be, as opposed to right here, right now?

I should say Florida where Linda and the kids are but…………… I REALY would love to go tour around Europe I am so interested in the amazing architecture and history, some year soon.

5. What are the last 3 books, or magazines or articles or whatever thing with words in it that you’ve read and this e-mail doesn’t count?

The first ten volumes in the Left Behind series, just three more to go.

6. Who do you look up to or are encouraged by in your life – a role model? And why….you don’t have to drone on and on and on and on, just a short 5 pages essay, please?

We had a teen class Sunday school teacher Gordon Veale who I respected very much as a youth, Dad of course his love and devotion to Mom, God and us kids set all of us boys on the path (Moms prayers and smacks kept us there). And Gary Miller, most of you won’t know him but he is the most talented, kind hearted, smart, nice guy I have ever known, I took over his job when he retired from the church and would like to be like him when I grow up.

7. What do you want to be when you grow up?

Gary Miller or…… Ray Bourque I know the scouts are still out there!!!!

8. Do you put the toilet paper to go over the top or under the bottom, when you put on a new roll?

I can type twith two hands…………..thank you Jesus for spell check

9. Can you type with two hands or are you the one finger wonder with amazing hunt and peck methodology?

I, however can not count so, ….I put the paper as it should be ….on its end standing on the floor under the empty roll holder.

Hee Hee, He answered the questions all in a row, and I’ve cut and pasted them so that you could see the questions and answers, but this is referecing the fact that he answered the questions out of order…pretty funny, eh?

10. Are you a Starbucks or Tim Hortons

Either as long as its not the ashtray coffee Mark has at the shop!!

Alrighty, and seriously, who would want to drink that shop coffee anyway….I remember when I was little and they had the shop down on Terminal or Main or something like that, it was back when Karen (not my mom) used to work for them as the receptionist or something like that - I think Uncle Dan wrote a poem about how to make the coffee and how to not make it too strong or it would be like panther piss…..I can’t for the life of me remember the rest of the poem….anyone else remember it….it rhymed, and it was soooooo funny, and that’s all I can remember of it….it was on a piece of cardboard sitting by the coffee pot….impressionable young minds, eh?

Alright, so I’ll bug Chris and my mom for some sort of an update for all of those wondering about him. I know he’s going in for some routine blood work today….that’s all pretty exciting, isn’t it? He might even have physio today…ooooooo, he’s really rockin’ it hard now.

He’s good, really…….call or e-mail him and he can tell ya for himself.
