10. Favorite color Starburst? If no Starburst love, favorite chocolate treat? Pink for sure.
11. What's your favorite drink? What kind of beer, wine or mixed drink? I love all the booze, but I mainly drink wine.
1. How did you find GBCN? I found this place via a very convoluted nonlinear method, an online/RL friends wife mentioned this place to me so I could then pass that information along to my sister. I decided to check it out, and much to my surprise, after a week of lurking, I felt compelled to speak up and make myself known.
2. What's your favorite dessert? There is a wonderful restaurant near my home, Steve and Rocky’s in Novi, MI., they make a wonderful chocolate ganache cake. It’s severed warm with a little vanilla ice cream and raspberry puree, when you break into this cake the center is molten liquid ganache and it’s absolutely one of my favorites! I also like ice cream, cookies, candy, you name it…now I realize where my youngest gets his junk food addiction from!
3. Story behind your SN? Not too much to tell here, it’s a combination of my initials and the number I used to wear, I had to make something up eons ago when I first started with the online forums and it kind of followed me around.
4. Any pets? kids? So are kids considered pets?!?!?!?! LOL I have 4 (four) kids! It can be a zoo around my house, especially Wednesdays, when there is dance, karate, and baseball all at once. I get to play taxi and run around like a chicken with my head cut off. It’s totally worth it in the end though… I have two girls and two boys, their ages are 12, 10, 8, and 6; the older two are my daughters.
We had a golden retriever but I had to put him to sleep 3 years ago, cancer, he was a great dog and I miss him dearly. As much as I’d love to get another dog I just don’t have the time to devote to being a good pet owner.
5. Favorite color? Yellow
6. What brings you to SO? Well I am starting over, I’ve begun dating again and though this would be the best place for me to not only learn but maybe also contribute.
7. Cruise or island (if neither, what's your ideal vacation spot)? I would love either! Anything where it’s warm and I can lay out get some sun drink a few drinks and relax is fine by me!
8. Favorite hobby/past time? When I am not with my children, I enjoy playing hockey, and hiking. I used to have a number of other hobbies, but gave them up once the kids were born because my hobbies tend to be a bit on the expensive side. Flying, racing cars and riding motor cycles. I’ll admit I gave up the motor cycles for other reasons, safety, and physically I can’t ride the types of bikes I like due to injuries suffered from the afore mentioned hockey.
9. Have you ever been to a GTG or would you? If you did, were you nervous?! Not with you fine people no, but I have met many people from my other forum, GTG’s are great fun and we have a couple yearly events. Just to give you an idea, my other forum is group of people that participated in a self-exile from a main group (much like this forum), we were part of a worldwide Audi forum but we started talking more about life and family than cars so we created a new place and have lived there even sense.
10. Favorite color Starburst? If no Starburst love, favorite chocolate treat? Well I like the lemon, strawberry and cherry flavors; and will often eat them all at once so it’s like a little fruit explosion in my mouth!
11. What's your favorite drink? What kind of beer, wine or mixed drink? Well I am a cheap date so let me just get that out, when I do drink it’s mostly harder stuff and mixed drinks. I am not a beer guy and while I do enjoy wine I don’t pretend to know what I am doing, I just go with what I am told works with xyz dish.
