1. I am currently learning how to play the harmonica. Since fourth grade, I've played the trombone and bass trombone, but I have forgotten how difficult it is to take up a new instrument. The harmonica is not an easy instrument to play because it is the only instrument that you can play by both blowing and drawing air through it. I would also love to learn how to play the banjo.
2. I am a night owl. On any given day, I could be awake and working in my studio at 3 a.m.
3. I have a twin brother, Tracy. He doesn't draw, he's a paramedic and volunteer firefighter.
4. I have not had caffeine since October 2006.
5. Eight people I would love to have a long lunch with: Alan Alda, Andy Griffith, Axl Rose, Peter Reynolds, Patrick McDonnell, Oprah, Jerry Scott and Hugh Laurie.
6. One day I hope to find out what it is that I am supposed to do with my life.
7. I know what SVT is.
8. I look forward to the day when I meet Ted Dawson and Wes Hargis in person.
No caffeine since last October? Congratulations! Teach me how to do that!
ReplyDeleteMy doctor's orders worked for me! (See #7)
ReplyDeleteI never really drank coffee, except for the fancy, surgar-laden drinks at Starbucks, but I used to live on pop.
There's tons of pop out there without caffeine. There's even a new Caffeine-Free Coke.
I could drink a 12-pack of pop in a day, so I stopped buying it altogether. Now I just drink orange juice and water.
I do miss Cherry Coke, Mt. Dew and Dr. Pepper. Sigh.
This is great. I love the self-portrait. You are a handsome, handsome man.
ReplyDeleteIf you like a fat, balding guy with a girl's name, who gets mistaken for George Costanza then I'm your dreamboat.
ReplyDeleteWe're gonna have to have a jam sometime, especially if you can figure out a way to play the harmonica and trombone at the same time.
ReplyDeleteAndy Griffith is supposed to be a scene-stealer in the new movie "Waitress." Better do lunch before he gets famous again.
The way things go nowadays, they'll probably discover that caffeine is a cure for SVT.
Thanks for posting this! Very cool. And it just might be that what you're supposed to do with your life is meet Wes & me. Not likely, but...
If I meet Wes and yourself, I'll gladly take Axl Rose off my list and die a happy man.
