Well, I am a pretty tame eater, not very adventurous. The most unusual I've had to date I think would be ostrich, which, incidentally, I saw in the grocery store the other day. A little stronger flavor (or flavour for you brits) than beef but similar.

you are not "tame" if you ate an Ostrich!

Well I didn't eat "AN" ostrich I ate a rather smallish tenderloin filet. It's actually a very healthy meat.

My usual question what friends both human and animal do you share your home with?

What types of books or movies do you like?

I'll fix your typo, and assume you meant human. I share my home with my wife of almost 8 years, it'll be 8 years on May 9th, hence my nick. I also share it with my four wonderful children, boy(5)-girl(3)-boy(2)-girl(6mo). And a tank full of fish. I had to do some heavy persuasion just to get that. My wife has some issues with non-two legged species. Maybe later we can get more pets for the kids, but it's gonna take some work.

Books and Movies? Anything, love to read and am a huge movie buff (at least before life got busy with the kids. I much prefer my books in hardcover and have an extensive and growing library. Favorites include Stephen King, John Grisham, Michael Crichton, Tom Clancy, JRR Tolkien, Douglas Adams, and of course the Harry Potter series. All of the classics, I am slowly building a hardcover library of these (I think the most powerful two pages I've ever read are the last two pages of "A Tale of Two Cities", in context I defy you to find a more instense passage of literature. Another favorite series of mine (it's a children's series), The Dark is Rising series by Susan Cooper, if you like Tolkien or the Harry Potter books you'll love them. But primarily Fantasy, SciFi, Mystery, Horror.

Movies, I like them all, even the bad ones, I take them for what they are and just try to enjoy them for enjoyment's sake. I also have no problem watching movies several times. I like to see details that I missed previous times.

Hmmm, what to ask Jim that I don't already know! LOL! AH, vacation...if you and Tricia were able to get away without the kids where would you go for a weekend? What's your next home project? Are you thinking about taking the kids to Storyland or Santa's Village this summer and if so maybe we should meet up, up there? LOL!! Are you a beach person or a mountains person?

Yep, my oldest will be 5 in May. Like I tell many people I'm not 23 and don't have the luxury to spread them out. Bow down to my wife not me. LOL

Favorite Atkins meal: probably a nice Delmonico, spaghetti squash (buttter, salt, and pepper) on the side, and a small ceasar salad.

Sweet cravings: (if I can avoid cheating, which has been my downfall) would be some whipped cream

Dream Vacation: down under, Australia or New Zealand, or maybe French Polynesia

Fave movie: so hard to pick just one, and it's changed so many times, maybe Saving Private Ryan only because of how much it affected me, not exactly an enjoyable flick, but a great one nevertheless.

We'd love to go back to Bermuda for a long weekend (it was part 1 of our honeymoon).

Next home project is landscaping (well some painting first), and maybe start on some of the built-ins, no more additions.

Yeah probably in the spring up to Storyland, Dominic keeps asking to go to the "inside pool", LOL Meet up? Sure! 6 kids to 4 parents is better than 4 to 2. LOL

I prefer a mountain lake. Me no likey salt water, but I force myself to suffer through the sun and sand. LOL

what is the most risky most death defying thing you have ever done?

What talent or ability do you notice you have passed on to your children?

I like all music, literally, there is very little that I do not like. My music collection can satisy almost anyone, I may not have exactly what you want but I have something like it. I can sing, or carry a tune at least. And I do download music, now all legally of course. I find it cheaper to pay 99 cents a song for 3 songs off an album I like rather than pay $12 dollars for the whole thing.

what is the most risky most death defying thing you have ever done?

That I'm prooud of? We've all done stupid things when we were younger, I won't count those. Rappelling down a cliff I think. Not exactly death defying because safety precautions were everywhere, but if something went wrong death could easily have resulted. Scary, fun, and adrenaline rushing.

What talent or ability do you notice you have passed on to your children?

Still might be a little too young to really answer this one. They are very creative and my oldest likes to build things which is like me. Other than that I think the jury is still out on this question because they are so young.
