My Answers to Christy's Tag

What were you doing 5 years ago?

OK, let's see...five years ago was 2003. Emma was in first grade. James was four. That means that I was living in Henniker, NH with my first wife and the kids, working at the Attorney General's Office. We had put our house on the market and were getting ready to buy my Mom's house in Sanbornton.

What are/were 5 things on your to-do list today?

Pay a couple bills (the car payment and homeowners' insurance)

Send in my signed contract for my summer singing gig with the NH Music Festival (Renee actually took care of this for me. Thanks sweetie!)

Email the powerpoint presentation for the sexual harassment training seminar that I'm teaching later this week.

Get to work on the summary judgment motion that I still have to write which is due later this month.

Go to an emergency selectmen's meeting for the town, and then race home to spend some quality time with my honey.

What 5 snacks do you enjoy?

Pringles
Pistachios (I'm not just saying that cuz it was on your list Christy. Renee and I have been going crazy with the pistachios lately)
Pickles (the sweet kind)
Popsicles (the Taste-E-Freeze kind)
Ice Cream

Damn, it was looking like I was going to get all five P-words, but then "Ice Cream" came along and ruined everything.


What 5 things would you do if you were a billionaire?

Buy a sailboat that you can live on.
Travel the world.
Set up a charitable foundation to work on international relief projects.
Give a bunch of money to each of my family members.
Purchase all of the available open land in Sanbornton and place it into conservation.

What are 5 of your bad habits?

Procrastinating
Laziness
Avoiding difficult conversations
Trying to please people
Lying (although I have gotten a lot better about this recently, and have turned my life around in that respect)

What are 5 places you've lived?

Fairfield, CT
Brooklyn, NY
Tarrytown, NY
Chicago, IL
Nashville, TN

What are 5 jobs you've had?
