Tag from Katie

Katie from Guilt in Black Panties threw out this, so I thought I'd bite:

Three things you must know about me:

1. I get excited about holidays and vacations like a little kid - I LOVE to have something to look forward to;
2. When I get into something new, I try to learn as much about it as possible and will seek to practice it often if it takes a new skill (which now happens to be No Limit Texas Hold'em);
3. I am interested in Mrs. Blogger's lingerie each day and usually ask what she's wearing (drives her crazy, I suspect, but she puts up with me for some reason).

Three things that scare me:

1. Sickness or death of a loved one;
2. Paralysis;
3. Disfigurement (I've too vain).

Three people who make me laugh:

1. My brother "B";
2. My brother-in-law "T";
3. My Little One (particularly her new "Look at my buuu-utt" dance).

Three things I love;

1. ANY time with Mrs. B and the Little One;
2. The beach;
3. Good seats at Fenway Park.

Three things I hate;

1. Forced participation/fun (think work or school seminars and such);
2. Being too early or too late (I will sit in the parking lot if I'm early until its suitable to enter);
3. The Yankees;

Three things I don't understand;

1. Depression (I have compassion for it, but since I don't have it I don't grasp it well);
2. Why obese people or smokers can't or won't take better control of their lives and health;
3. How ANYONE can think that George W. Bush is a good president (and I know smart, smart people who's opinions I respect that love GWB -- I cannot understand that on any level, lol).

Three things on my desk:

1. Dunkin' Donuts vat of coffee;
2. Batman coffee mug;
3. Creepy looking alien kitty thing.

*see my earlier post *

Three things I'm doing right now (besides thinking of answers for this):

1. Thinking about my impending Las Vegas Trip (I leave Sunday a.m.);
2. Listening to ESPN Radio;
3. Looking at a list of checks I need to cut.

Three things I want to do before I die

1. Live to a healthy 100 years old (but not to outlive Mrs. B or The Little One);
2. Go to Hawaii;
3. Retire VERY healthy so I can enjoy it to the fullest.

Three things I can do

1. Play guitar;
2. Ski very well;
3. Hit a ball (I've always had a natural talent for hitting a ball with a bat -- ever since I was a little kid people told me they couldn't believe such a little kid could hit a ball so far, lol -- and I still hear it).

Three things you should never listen to:

1. Non-supportive people (particularly family);
2. Nails on a chalkboard;
3. People who disrespect anything popular: as in music, movies or books. To me it comes across as elitism and it turns me off to them.

Three things I'd like to learn:

1. More patience;
2. To ALWAYS know what Mrs. Blogger wants/needs/means (it didn't say it had to be attainable did it? lol)
3. To enjoy and engage in small talk.

Favorite foods:

1. A good steak;
2. Shellfish;
3. Mrs. B's pasta with meat sauce.

Beverages I drink regularly (besides water which is or should be a staple):

1. Coffee;
2. Milk;
3. Bud Lite (I know, I know....I like other beers as well...but I tend to resort to Bud Lite time and again).

TV shows and books I enjoyed as a kid:

1. Tom and Jerry Grape Ape Show;
2. ALL the Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew mysteries;
3. Scooby Do
