Do you have any collections?
I have moved too many time to want to collect things. I will admit I have boxes of college books that for some reason I haven’t divested myself of, but I can’t in any way justify those as collecting .
I just hope to collect memories as long as my brain continues to function normally.
In everyday vernacular, the words “ocean” and “sea” are often used interchangeably. But in geographical terms, the two are quite distinct. While oceans are referred to as the large bodies of water that take up much of the globe, seas are much smaller entities, a term geographers use to describe the location where the land meets the ocean. For example, the Bering Sea is part of the Pacific Ocean, but since it is located between the landmasses of Alaska and Russia, it is classified as a sea.
What is the legacy you want to leave behind?
My legacy is this kid because he’s a better human being than I’ve ever was or probably ever will be. So I’m super proud to have this legacy behind me.
Although there is no way to know the Earth’s exact age, scientists have calculated it to be roughly 4.54 billion years old, give or take 50 million years. But how did they arrive at this number? Although scientists have pondered this question for centuries, more recent technological advances have made it easier for researchers to understand the Earth’s age. Above all else, radiometric dating has been the most helpful in figuring out the Earth’s birthday because it allows scientists to pinpoint the age of rocks. The oldest rocks on Earth — 4.03 billion years old — were found in Canada, while Greenland, Australia, and Swaziland are home to rocks that range from 3.4 to 3.8 billion years. To top that, scientists have discovered stardust that’s a staggering 7 billion years old, which means the Earth is relatively young in comparison to the rest of the universe.

As a veteran of the US Army I am annoyed by those that fly the flag and tell me that I am a traitor because I am a Democrat. My father who served for 30 years is unsure if he should fly a flag because the people that absolutely dishonor its symbol have co opted it for their means.
I am an American that proudly served my country and I whole heartedly believe that everyone has a right to their opinion but I do not believe you have the right to disgrace our flag or claim it to be solely one the repents your vision.
How do you feel about cold weather?
Love to visit the cold and then come back to Phoenix. There is nothing more invigorating than a December/January Packer Game at Lambo Stadium in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Have you ever broken a bone?
Wouldn’t say I accident prone or necessarily fragile but I have had quite a few impact traumas that have resulted in broken bones. Have broken my right elbow, left wrist, left knee & ankle, right ankle, my nose twice, a few ribs, & recently a skull fracture from a fall. So the short answer is yes I have broken a bone.
How do you balance work and home life?
I lost a 20 year old relationship because I worked too much. Worked in hospitals and spent 4 to 5 twelve hours days a week just to support my small family and was raised to believe that’s what I had to do. Now I have been divorced for going on 12 years and I work for myself and work is all I do, don’t have a relationship haven’t taken more than 2 consecutive days off in at least 10 years. That all says I have zero work life balance and sadly don’t think that it will ever change.😢
What sacrifices have you made in life?
Hate to be that guy but a lot of what many elevate to sacrifice does not qualify. Skipping a meal so your kid can eat, forgoing a vacation to take care of a sick parent or friend, loaning your sibling money when you really didn’t have it to lend, all do not qualify as a sacrifice just an inconvenience.
I can’t think of anything in my life that would reach the level of a sacrifice, I have inconvenienced myself enumerable times but none was a crucifixion level sacrifice that many believe they may have made. My teenager thinks he is sacrificing his valuable time by merely cleaning his room of emptying the dishwasher. We as a society need to stop elevating things we don’t want to do or things that may be a mild inconvenience to the high drama of a sacrifice.
