Diamonds or Rubys? I had a hard time paying for a diamond engagement ring...I don't understand you womens' facination for overpriced jewelry that you don't have to pay for! (duck!)
Do you prefer to shop online, by catalogue, or in person?
Online. I hate shopping.
Do you like to shop for yourself or others? Neither.
Do you prefer to dress up or go casual? Jeans and a t-shirt all the way. I had a job where I wore a suit every day and I didn't mind at all, because my dry cleaning was always done and I didn't have to think about what to wear!

Gym class...and spanish.

And you are a personal trainer?
I'm fit and physically active, but not so athletic in team sports. I guess it's the product of having 3 sisters and a single mom, then a dad that always worked late!

I've seen The Big Lebowski more times than I can remember.
Favorite Pink floyd song, since you mentioned them?
Oh Jeese, I don't listen to Floyd much anymore...when I was a big 'reefer' in my teen years, I saw them at Soldier Field in 94...my dad was always a fan, so it just rubbed off on me.

San Diego
Haha please disregard this last question.....
Assuming that's your wife in the picture, does she have a sister?
That's my wife, yup....she's actually a triplet, but they're not identical...I got the best one!

For the time being, I like to watch Scrubs...I'm loyal to SNL, though.

How often do you listen to Radio Margaritaville on Sirius?
Did you have it before RM was on?
Do you listen to Howard Stern?
Yes I was on the Loop... 15 qualifiers, (I just called in for that early this morning), Batman, aka Adam West, picked a number between 1 and 15 at the end of the show, and I was lucky #8! Woo hoo!
Did I ever tell you the story about my wedding that I won on the radio? (It was broadcast live on Johnny B's morning radio showgram from the Odyssey Yacht in 1991)
No, not hungover... just a bit tired.

The 21st? I would love to be there, but I'll be laying on the beach in Playa del Carmen with a Pina Colada.
I might be at Good Time Charlies this weekend or at Big Guys in Manhattan in 2 weeks, though.
