Oh yeah! I forgot to do these questions, Molly. Well, here is where you find out all the good stuff...
1. Do you have any pets?
Nope. Oldest DD has two hamsters, youngest DD had two goldfish. They are in a better place now and we are done with pets. I like animals, but I like other peoples animals, ones that I don't have to feed and clean up after. I do that enough with 2 kids.
2. What is your middle name?
Peter (and by the way, am I like, the
only guy on this entire thread? What's up with that? Maybe I need to invite all the DisDads to join in your next report!)
3. How old are you?
43 (I think, hang on...*does math*...yep, that's right. I'm at the point where it's stopped being a big deal so I don't think about it much)
4. What is your favorite food?
I'll say cheeseburger, but I love love pasta too. You, know, all the things that give me a belly.
5. What is one food that you cannot stand to eat?
Anything green. Except peas. I can tolerate those. (yes, I am a typical meat and potatoes guy)
6. Have you ever been to a different country?
Well besides the US (I live in Canada), there is UK, France, Australia, St. Lucia, Brunei, Malaysia, Singapore, Dubai, Falkland Islands. (Most of that is work related travel)
I also lived in Scotland for a year.
7. What is your favorite band/music artist?
I don't listen to music enough to pick a favourite. Yeah, really. I never did listen much. If I had to pick it would be James Taylor. Nothing off the top 40. (I know, I am not helping my "grumpy old man" image. I pretty much have the old man part covered, but I'm really not that grumpy, promise)
8. What is your favorite TV show?
Survivor. I've given up on other reality shows, but that's one I enjoy. I will also admit to having a Buff collection.
For comedy I like The Big Bang Theory (and I loved Friends when it was on, I have all the DVD box sets)
I don't watch much drama, but I really got into Timeless this year.
9. How many siblings do you have?
One younger brother
10. What is your eye color?
Blue, sort of. It's really kind of grey. (Don't say it matches my hair. That's only true on the sides. So far...)
11. What is your favorite movie?
I'll say Star wars, but I have a pretty wide taste. I could just as easily have said The Sound of Music.
12. What is your favorite color?
Green (the dark, manly green, not the Kermit the Frog green, although I love Kermit)
13. What is your favorite candy?
Chocolate. Yes, I know chocolate is not candy, but if I want something sweet that's what I go for. I've never been into candies. Occasionally Swedish Berries, but that's about it.
14. Where is your favorite place to buy clothes/shop?
On the couch. I'm a Dad. Did you really expect a different answer?
15. What was your favorite subject in school?
Any of the sciences. I have a degree in geology.
16. What is your favorite drink?
Root beer.
Alcoholic would be spiced rum, but I don't drink that often, maybe on a Friday night.
17. What is your favorite book?
I'm not a big reader. In high school I read the Dragonlance and Shannara series. Yes, I was a geek. I'm a man in my 40's on a Disney discussion board. There are many surprises in life. That I was a geek should not be one of them.
18. Have you ever played any sports?
Does standing near the sideline in soccer praying the ball didn't come close to me and begging my parents to let me quit after two games count? Well then, no, I never played.
Actually, if you count swimming, I was actually decent at swimming and was doing pretty well in lessons until I was 9, but then had problems with fluid in my ears and had to give it up. (I got tubes in my ears 4 times, up until I was 12 or 13)
19. What is your favorite ice cream flavor?
Mint chocolate chip
20. How tall are you?
6' 2"...what? You can't see me. OK, 5" 7", not that short but very average, but I'm taller than both my parents so I guess I shouldn't complain.
21. What is your favorite smell?
The faint smell of wood smoke on a cold night in the Fall. It reminds me of growing up when more homes had fireplaces. It's pretty rare now in the newer homes. I sometimes go out hiking and have a campfire to get that smell.
Me, DW and DD from this winter

22. Do you have a special talent?
Trying to make some of these answers funny? Otherwise, no. I could say being a good dad, but that's pretty subjective.
23. Who is your favorite actor?
Amy Adams, Anna Kendrick, Anne Hathaway are on my list. What list? Not saying. But my wife doesn't read this stuff, so....
24. What is your favorite holiday?
Christmas, but Halloween is a close second.
