Wow … I could’ve written this list, Y’all!
Except I’m a “bit” younger then “3 years from 40.” Ha!
And even though I am an imported citizen of the Republic of Texas, I love saying “Howdy” and “Y’all.”
Particularly ’cause people don’t see it coming. Sorry pardner, but my state’s bigger then your state!

Yeah, I just can’t bring myself to say it. I did it once and immediately prayed for forgiveness.

I love ‘em like that! My uncle got me hooked on it.

61/62 – Yeah, I know sitcoms are a huge waste of time, but I like to sit and watch something stupid that resolves the story nicely and makes everyone happy once in a while. =)

69. I have a stack of stuff that I “need to read”
This sounds like me. I have 4 stacks gathering dust

Me: ditto on public singing. This is especially hard in China – can’t sing until I’m, er, sufficiently softened up…
Hopefully I’m not one of the “rude” commenters; I can be caustic at times.
I probably have two-dozen music CDs at most, but several hundred movie DVDs – and I’ll admit that most of them are Errol Flynn specials from my time in Beijing and Shanghai…
Two of my wife’s special recipes are “Hooters” wings and wings made with a special Chinese sauce that she came up with. Both are wonderful…
I like Negra Modelo too…
