Well, I was tagged by my wife, on her blog, to answer the following questions. So, without any further ado (what is ado anyway?), here we go:

1) What was I doing 10 years ago?

June of 1998, I was working as a camp counselor at Sky Ranch. I worked there during the summers of ‘96-’99. Working out there is the best college job I can think of. Although, the summer of ‘98 was the second hottest Texas summer on record (#1 was in 1980). It was at least 100 degrees every day from the second week of May through the first week in August that summer. And even though it took me all summer to get it, working outside 90% of the time in 100+ degree weather, I had a pretty good tan by the time camp was over with. That will probably be the last time in my life I will have a decent tan though…


2) What are five things on my list to do today?

-Call ATT wireless to inquire about mysterious charges on cell phone bill.
-Post this on my blog.
-Call the landscaping guy to postpone landscaping our front yard until early next spring.
-Fill out mail in rebate (I hate mail in rebates) form and mail to ATT wireless for my wife’s new cell phone.


3) What snacks do I enjoy?

-Chips and salsa/queso/guac
-Chex mix
-Most kinds of fruit
-Ice cream…or really most anything that is sweet, unfortunately


4) Where are all the places I’ve lived?

-Midland, TX (born there but only live there until we were 6 months old)
-Richardson, TX
-Tulsa, OK
-Starkville, MS
-Van, TX (during the summers of ‘96-’99)
-San Marcos, TX
-Dallas, TX
-Richardson, TX


5) What would I do if I was given a billion dollars?

-I would quit my job.
-So I wouldn’t forget later, I would give 10-15% to our church and/or some other charitable organization like Buckner.
-I would pay off any debt we have and then pay off the debt for any of my immediate family members and my wife’s immediate family members.
-I would want to sell our current house and buy another one. Not a super extravagant house, like superstar athletes/actors have, but a new house, with updated appliances and such, big enough for our family.
-Same as above, except for our vehicles. I would get a car to drive around the majority of the time and one that I would drive every once in a while, like a supped up Saleen Mustang, (which I would take over to the Autobahn in Germany just to see how fast I could go in it).
-Purchase season tickets for Cowboys, Mavs, Stars, Rangers.
-I would travel all over the world. Places I would go first: Ireland, Scotland, England, Germany, Italy, Australia, and Switzerland (to snow ski…and maybe get a new watch). I would also go back to where Carole and I honeymooned, Playa Del Carmen (Mexico).
-I would sleep in as much as possible.
-I would take SCUBA diving lessons and get certified. Then travel to Grand Cayman to SCUBA dive.
-I would think about purchasing a professional sports franchise...depending on cost and which one I could get.

Well, that’s all I can think of for now sports fans. Hope you enjoyed.
