Well, wasn't going to because life is pretty boring anymore...haha

#1. What ya listening to right now, favorite music? Favorite, bands, musicians?

Not big on music, never have been. I can listen to anything...80's, 90's...older country...whatever.


#2. What's your favorite movie? A movie that'll stop you in your tracks when you're channel surfing?

There is just too many to list here...Sandlot, Bull Durham, Shawshank, The Rookie, Natural, Eight Men Out, Major League, Bad News Bears,
Caddyshack, Field of Dreams, Slapshot, Jaws...can go on and on. Also love stupid sci-fi animal movies that are just so stupid its funny.

#3. Not a big drinker but.............favorite go to beer?

If Im out somewhere, I stick with Miller Lite because I know they have it and it tastes good. I actually really like when Im traveling
somewhere to go to a local pub and try local stuff and BS.

#4. Favorite sports team? Any sport.

Phillies and Washington Redskins (and yes, that is the name of the team and I'm not shying away from it no matter who says
they don't like it )

#5. Other hobbies, interests besides fastpitch? Gloves, knives, firearms? ;) Guess I just answered that one!

Used to travel a ton for softball all over the country and even up North to play, have stopped a lot of that as you
grow up and gain a life...hahaha. Still do Saturday tournys and Sunday league. Used to be huge into lifting (car accident slowed that as did my job and business after that). Would like to pick it back up a little as Im no spring chicken anymore...these
young guys keep trying to surpass the old man. But free time isn't my luxury.
Me and the wife enjoy hitting flea markets and all that stuff...its a nice time we get by ourselves. We also love our 4 furry
children (the wife cant have kids due to her illness). We have 4 cats we spoil. She would love a greyhound, but not
until softball slows for both of us and we can be home more.

Oh, forgot...Mike Schmidt was my idol was I was young and my favorite sports person...best sports moment
was his 500th homer.

I do love myself a good beer and cigar around a fire talking softball.

#1 whatever is playing on two rock stations in my area, love radio, the randomness, the oh wow factor when one you have not heard in forever and nearly forgot about comes on

#2 Godfather 1 or 2, groundhog day

#3 Stella or Guiness (used to be anything I brewed myself, DDs kinda sidetracked that thought)

#4 any teams my DDs are playing for , then Tar Heels!

#5 Before DDs, home brewing, gardening, cycling (road and mountain)

#6 Dr J behind the backboard v Lakers, tug McGraw's leap from mound in '80

Yes to the Sandlot, can't believe I didn't list what is quite possibly the best movie ever made! I will stop and watch it anytime and anywhere! The pool scene with Squints and Wendy Peffercorn is classic!

For 7 or 8 years straight, we would go on vacation to the Outer Banks, it's a solid 7 hour drive, the kids and my MIL always had 3 or 4 movies that they always watched with the Sandlot being one of them. Of course me and my wife could only hear it, I swear the Sandlot is just as funny only listening to it and not seeing it!

They were, they brought out the “Big Bang Theory” crowd. Insanely high IQ, pot smoking, basement living, haven’t seen sunshine, we’ll come out for Rush only fans!

LOL!

That Fleetwood Mac concert was the weed smokingest concert I have ever been to. At that time weed was still almost counter culture. Lights went out, lighters came out.

I’m not sure I ever had a great chance to see Rush. We have smaller venues that somehow have managed to attract some bigger acts but I don think Rush was one of them.

There have been some great movies mentioned.

Rush was great every time, and you definitely got your monies worth, they played a lot of music for a long time!

just cant think of all of them at the drop of a hat. Then afterwards, they start coming to you...haha

One of my buddies worked one summer as Fleetwood Mac's body guard. He is a monster and loved that gig.
