Athletic Ability:		Not much to begin with. Football and wrestling through high school. Been downhill since...oh...the Faust years.
Sartorial Style:		Dress shirt and slacks at work, occasionally a tie if meeting with leadership. Golf shirts or ND t-shirts and shorts/sweatpants on weekends.
Favorite Beverage and Consumption Freq:		Bottled water regularly, an occasional Blue Moon with meals. Moscato and Fireball late evenings. Shot of Jameson to celebrate Irish victories, multiple shots when the victories are special.
Political Philosophy:		Moderate to liberal Democrat. Job has required me to deploy to Kosovo, Iraq, and Afghanistan eight times since 2000; to date over 48 months away from family has made me quite cynical of the concept of nation building and disdainful of elected leaders who would seek to send our service men and women into harm's way while never having worn a military uniform.
Religious Philosophy:		Raised Catholic, still attend mass regularly. Have issues with some of the Church's dogma and hard right leanings of leadership, and residual bitterness at how the pedophiles were protected as long as they were. Nevertheless, still love much of the ceremony. Spiritually, at age 60, am still a work in progress.
Musical Favorites:		Springsteen, Eagles, CCR, L-Z, most classic rock, 60s and 70s Motown and Atlantic soul, and some older country artists.
Favorite Quote from an ND Coach:		"God doesn't care if Notre Dame wins or loses, but His mother does"
Miscellaneous Data:		Fondest memories with my father involve those Sunday morning replays with Lindsey Nelson.
