Do you have a special song? What is it?

While I love good music, I have never sat and just listened to music. I prefer silence and I contemplate things in my mind. I love to invent things. If there is a long period of silence, I would prefer to listen to talk radio over music and now days I will listen to a book on tape.

When Lisa and I started dating, we would just talk, and since I knew nothing about music, we never talked about music. For this reason, we really don’t have a song. The closest thing we have to a “special” song is the song we danced our first dance to at our wedding. That will now be our official special song. The only problem is that neither one of us can remember what it was. Lisa assures me that it will come to her.

What activity is your favorite activity you do together?

Lisa and I love to do a lot of things together but perhaps one of our favorites is to go for walks on the beach. We don’t get out and do it often enough but we have walked at least twenty different beaches in San Diego, many of them we have walked several times.

In addition we have walked beaches in Hawaii, British Columbia, Florida, Oregan, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Bahamas, Grand Caymans, France, Belgium and probably others that aren’t coming to my mind right now.

When you wake up each morning, what is the first thing you notice about your spouse?

The first thing I notice when Lisa and I get up in the morning is how she is just as beautiful now as she was the day we got married. I am actually quite amazing at how well she has aged. On Sundays, as I look out at the congregation I can’t help but compare Lisa to all the other women out there. Of people her age, no other woman in the ard comes close to matching her beautfy.  She is the prettiest woman in the building. She is more beautiful than women much younger than her.

That of course is the first thing I notice. She has a lot more beauty that is more than skin deep.
