Pearls

Ten things about me … just to give you a better idea of who you’re dealing with here.

I believe extra hot giardiniera is something the body needs every day, like water.
I have an identical twin brother. He knows exactly what I am thinking (after I tell him what I am thinking).
Looking at me, most people would think “there’s no way he can dunk a basketball.” They would be right.
I think the song “Roadhouse Blues” by The Doors is one of the greatest songs ever recorded, though I don’t usually sing it during meetings with clients.
When someone calls my home or cell phone to sell a product I don’t want, if they totally ignore my protests, I sometimes talk with them for about ten minutes while doing something else, then let them down, just to amuse myself and prove a point. (I’m not sure what the point is.)
My dog is named Rizzo, after the first baseman on the Chicago Cubs – not the character in Grease, the Dustin Hoffman character in Midnight Cowboy, a character on the Muppets, the former mayor of Philadelphia or other Rizzos who have somehow forced their way into popular culture.
I would prefer waiting for a bus in a rainstorm without an umbrella to shopping for more than 15 minutes (unless it’s for something useful, like tickets to a ballgame).
If you like the design of this website – and how can you not? – let me connect you to my designer, who is also a Cub fan but does not have a dog named Rizzo.
When my daughters ask me to help them on their math homework (they are 11 and 14 years old), I tell them that when I was a kid, my parents didn’t help me and my brother with our math homework (because they didn’t understand it either).
I can’t think of anything else about myself right now, so – quick! – check out the rest of the site.
