I’ve been tagged by Kristin. Thanks for the easy post!

First Memory: Disney Land. I think I was four. I rode the Thunder Mountain Railroad and I remember talking to my dad about how fun it was, but I really had my eyes closed and was hanging tightly onto him the whole time.

First Real Kiss: 6th grade, spin the bottle turned a random girl into my two-day girlfriend and kissing pal.

First Concert: The first that I can remember is a Shenandoah concert at the New Mexico State fair.

First Love: Hayley Cheatham

First Crush: Megan Follows, the main character in the Anne of Green Gables movies. I hated the movies, loved the girl.

First thing you think in the morning: What meeting did I forget to go to this morning?

First book you remember loving: Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverston.

First pet: I had some fish when I was younger, but my first real pet was Gizmo, a precious puppy.

First question you’ll ask in Heaven: You let him in?

First thing you think of when you hear the word vacation: Rocky Mountain High

First best friend: Jon Demery. We grew up on the same street, went to the same school and were best friends till I moved from Colorado.

Last time you dressed up: Define “dressed up.” I suppose the last real time was when I had a meeting with the Department of Transporation about some work our firm will be doing with them.

Last CD you bought: I bought Hayley the Pride and Prejudice soundtrack.

Last book you read: I’m pretty bad about finishing books, but the last book I finished was The Last Templar. Good airplane read.

Last time you cried: A couple of weeks ago I was teaching my Sunday morning class. I was talking about where I came from and how I got where I am today. I started talking about why Hayley and I went to Central and I started crying. But I wasn’t really crying, there was just an inflammation in my tear gland.

Last movie you saw: Becoming Jane

Last time you told someone you loved them: About 7:12 a.m.

Last really funny thing you did: My humor is selfish - that is, I do things that I think are funny without concern for whether or not others will agree. So I’m not sure if I wrote “sat in silence” that it would satisfy the intent of this question. That said, posting a lyric from Flight of the Conchords is pretty clever, don’t you think?

Last Halloween costume: Man, I honestly don’t remember the last time I dressed up for Halloween. I’m sure after I post this, I’ll have an email from Hayley saying, “Don’t you remember, you were applesauce (replace with actual costume) for Halloween last year!”

Last concert attended: Joshua Radin and Schuyler Fisk. Good show. Here’s a sample:

I tag Sean, Jonathan and Kim.
