Damn near bottomed out after declining annually from a very, very modest zenith.

I buy most of my clothing from Costco. Take from that what you will.

Used to be a beer snob/homebrewer. Still like good beer but have moved to more mixed drinks and bourbon. Can’t get my head or my taste buds around a lot of the new beer styles.

We're completely and utterly fucked.

Raised Catholic and love the faith. Returning to the Church slowly after years of disillusionment, but they keep making it harder and harder.

I'm all over the map. Dominant groupings in my CD collection: Neil Finn/Crowded House, David Bowie, NIN, Counting Crows, U2, Radiohead, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Jason Isbell, Father John Misty, Jay-Z, Cold Chisel, David Gray, movie scores (Mancini devotee), World Party, INXS.

Huge proponent of all hair metal. Expert on 60's pop music. Favorite group of all time, bordering on obsession? Duran Duran. No joke.

Leahy: “Give me a lead of 14-0 at halftime and I will dictate the final score.”

The ribs recipe was lifted from my brother who borrowed it from a family friend. I can't claim credit, but thanks for the naming rights. Enjoy!
