I got 13. Here you go. * The most traumatic experience of my youth was not being able to watch Mr. Ed one Friday evening (at age 4) when my sister was babysitting. Turns out that the reason she made me go to bed at 7PM is that she was having a teen drinking party in the basement that night. I was pissed. I still dont know how the police found out about the party. * When I was 4, my sister and I saw a UFO land in the field next to our house, and we hid under the bed. The rest of the night is pretty much a blur, but something came in the front door. This is the truth. * I went to a catholic grade school - and I had horrible hand writing and held my pencil wrong (which Sean does now - never know pencil holding style is genetic), which drove the nuns into a ruler-smacking frenzy. That may explain why, at age 54, I have swollen knuckles. * I was pretty adventurous in college. For awhile, I was hooked on hokey pokey… but thank goodness, I managed to turn myself around. * I met my wife Gwen at Penn State. She ripped my snap shirt open in Dr. Knotts class… every day. Strange way to flirt - but it worked. * I got drunk one night at Penn State - thats how I wound up in Louisiana. * I have degrees from both Penn State and LSU, but I bleed blue and white. * Gwen and I were married in the only location supposedly certified by the US government as being haunted. Still cant explain one weird face in the mirror in one of our wedding photos. * I corrupted my 60 year old mother and 64 year old aunt by introducing them to their first marijuana cigarettes and a card game called Bong99 back when I was in grad school. The Saturday night family card game was never the same after that. * My grandfather was a leprechaun. Or a donkey. Or both. * I was once featured in an article on the front page of the Wall Street Journal, along with my daughter Cailin… not for any of my marketing accomplishments - but instead for being an extremely pissed off father mad at Disney for ruining a 4 year-olds Christmas because they released really bad software. Im officially banned from Disney properties. * Since then, I have perfected my crankiness skills to the point where now my crankiness index is very high, and it takes very little to set me into a mouth-frothing rant. My latest target, if you havent seen, is Ryland Homes. * I will never, ever, ever, build another house.
