Here’s a blogging challenge kicked off by Forking Mad. Here’s 10 “pointless” questions, and their answers, from me!
Yes. Though not as routinely as I used to. You see, some time ago I had my top-back-molars on both sides of my mouth pulled. They had long bothered me—I couldn’t eat much of anything without food getting stuck inbetween those teeth and the set in front of them. This would cause serious discomfort which I could alleviate by flossing said food out. This meant I flossed at least once, but likely multiple times each day. Since having those teeth pulled, food does not get stuck in my teeth in the same way, so my flossing habit has suffered a bit. I still floss most days though.
These days, coffee for sure. In fact, I’ve recently gotten into making my own cold brew. It’s delicious! I’ll normally have some coffee at least once, but usually twice a day (a cup in the morning and another sometime in the afternoon). My coffee habit only started during the pandemic though (oddly enough). Before that, I was a sweet tea person all the way. I can thank my southern roots for that I suppose. But unfortunately, all the sweet tea I was drinking back in those days started to cause me some health issues so I had to change course a bit. Coffee is magical though, so not a bad replacement ☕️ 😁.
I do drink a lot of water though, especially on days where I am at the gym (which is most days!)
I tried looking for the exact shoe, but perhaps they are no longer available? Anyways, my prefered shoe are these Salomon hiking shoes/boots (in black) that are kinda a hybrid “regular” hiking boot and sneaker. They are super comfortable, extremely versatile, waterproof, last forever and I like the way they look. I wear ‘em everywhere!
This kinda depends on the situation—or my mood. Traditionally, my favorite dessert has been cheesecake. But I also love blueberry cobbler and rum cake. I have a rum cake every year for my birthday in fact 🎂.
I also really love tiramisu 🤤
I usually roll over and go back to sleep for a few more minutes 😴. Then, probably pick up my phone and check some combination of Apple News, Fedi, Email and other notifications that came in over-night.
Well for all the usual reasons it’d be nice to have some of the qualities that came with youth (~mid-20’s)—back when I didn’t get sleepy after one beer, had no knee pain and could recover from anything in ~48 hours. But aside from that, aging hasn’t been so bad for me. It’s brought me new and exciting professional challenges, I’m a father to two cute little nuggets, I’m in the best physical shape I’ve ever been in… I dunno, things aren’t so bad at this age…
Own? 6-10 maybe. How many do I actually wear? Well I’m not much of a hat guy, but I do have a sun hat-kinda thing I’ll bust out when doing yard work sometimes 🤷♂️. All my other hats are ones I’ve picked up at security conferences 😂.
The last thing in my photos app is actually a video. It’s the cutest thing really. Whenever my daughter (she’s 1) wants a snack, she grabs it from the pantry and then excitedly runs over and brings it to me. After she hands it to over, she’ll do this rapid fire series of li’l baby jumps. The cute hoppy anticipation is just the best 🥰.
Big Bang Theory. Just awful. I won’t be taking questions.
From what I remember, I had a few “what do I want to be when I grow up” phases. (In no particular order)…
I’m pretty sure all of these came after watching some relevant TV show or movie 😅.
