Dad, Tell Me About the Time (63)

If you could change something about yourself physically what would it be?

I love how I am built physically. I love being tall, I love being skinny for most of my life, I love being strong and able to run marathons and hike for thirty or forty miles. I know I’m not really good looking but I’m not ugly and I’m fine with that. I don’t think I would change anything about me if I had that option.

I guess there are a couple of minor things that I would change if I could, but they really are minor and for the most part I don’t give them a second thought.

I had a horrible acne problem as a teenager that I could have done without.

I mean it when I say it, but being bald is not a problem, but I suppose if I had a choice I would change that.

Getting fat in my old age is actually something that I could change so I don’t know if that even counts. I’m just glad that I have been skinny most of my life.

The arthritis in my left knee is just a part of getting old. If I could not get old that is definitely something that I would change.

What is something most people don’t know about you?

I can’t think of anything that people don’t know about me. I’m pretty much an open book. I can’t think of a single thing.

Are you right or left-handed?

Right handed, left footed.

Do you have a tatoo? What is it and where is it located?

No tatoo’s, I can’t think of anything that I would want to put on my body and have it there for the rest of my life. I do think temporary tatoo’s are fun (like my Ragnar tattoo that I put on for Ragnar races) but they go away after a couple of days.

What is your Zodiac sign?

I’m a Leo.

If you could have a superpower, what would it be?

This is a tough one. Is the Star Trek transporter a superpower? I’d love to be able to transport myself from one place to another place instantly. It would be even better if I could take someone with me.

What makes you laugh?

Good question, I’ve never really thought about that before. Obviously, a good joke will make me laugh. When my family gets together and we reminisce can often bring back great memories. I don’t like jokes at other peoples expense.

Which languages do you speak?

English - Obviously

Dutch - Ik kan me nog wel redden in het Nederlands, maar het kost me veel moeite.

Spanish - He decidido aprender español pero todavía no puedo decir nada útil.
