pizzaboy012 – I loved Frau! For the sake of the readers: Frau Schwartz was our German teacher…I assume the poster was in one of my classes. As for my favorite? That’s a really, really tough call. It’s a toss-up between Frau and our Chemistry teacher, Elliot Mazer. That guy was great.

2. If your 23 year old tried periodically to repay his grandparents the money they lent him for college, etc. (couple grand), and they kept refusing it…what would you do? Here you are as a parent trying to teach your kid the importance of repaying debts and appreciating their kindness and the damn grandparents screw it up! It’s not the money – it’s the lesson.

So, answers, Mr. Marshall?

1. I’m a righty.
2. Two-handed, but hands below 10 and 2 (scandalous!)
3. Check a few paragraphs down here: http://blog.timesunion.com/marshall/kevin-on-the-cdta/43/ (the one that starts with “Two quick side notes.”)
4. Trivial Pursuit.

And thank you for your kindness. :)

#41 (James) – The highest point in my life? People will call shenanigans, but it’s a four-way tie between all my nieces and nephew’s birth. If I had to pick one I’d say the nephew, because I was old and unselfish enough to have a full appreciation of the event (also because he was the first boy born in the family since me). The lowest point…well, it’s a bit personal. But let’s say it’s passed.

(I hate cabbage, otherwise I’d jump in on that train…)
Also, to note, I like your blog a lot. Not mundane at all. Just sayin’…
