Eric's Story

Using the "story wizard"....... 1)How do I hope friends will remember me? A) That not-too-nerdy guy that was a really good musician 1b)How will they actually remember me? A) Shannon's brother. 2)How do you blow off steam? Describe your favorite way to relax. A) Drive really fast with some Peter Gabriel or Tori Amos or Willie Porter in the CD player. 3) What's the wildest thing you ever did in school? A) Got stoned with the bus driver on the way to honor band. 4) Do you have a hero? Talk about where your inspiration comes from. A) Anyone who actually thinks for themselves. Toooooooo many sheep in the world. One hero is Carl Sagan. He taught me that The simplest explanation for anything is usually the correct solution. GOD usually isn't the simplest solution. 5) Where have you lived? Why did you move? A) I accidentally spent a few years in Kansas after graduation and met my eventual ex-wife. We moved to Colorado Springs in 1991. Got married here soon after. Lived here until 2000. Moved back to Kansas. 6 months later I moved back to Colorado. Been here since. Divorce in 2001. 6) Sports. Reality TV. Pets. Share your obsessions. A) None of the above. My obsessions are..... A really good book, a really well made movie, a really good bicycle ride, a really good bottle of wine, a really good dream, a really good ph...Expand for more
otograph. 7) Life doesn't always turn out the way you expect. What's been your biggest surprise? A) Chrissy Premer thought I was hot in school! I had no idea!!!!!! 8) Parent? Share what you've learned from your kids. A) I don't know if it's so much what I have learned from my child or what I have learn by having a child. Having a child who tries the same things I did when I was a child teaches me that 1) I was pretty hard on my parents and 2) I know exactly how to deal with situations my child tries to put me in. Sorry, kiddo. I know more than you know! 9) Which teacher would you love to see again? Why? A) Mr. Huckaby..... He taught me to see. He taught me to listen. He taught me to play. 10) You get one do-over. What do you do differently? Just one? I can't do that. Here are a few.... A1) I would have taken my college guidance councilor's advice and run, not walk away from the woman who eventually became my ex-wife. A2) I would have had the guts to say "Hi" to Chrissy Premer. A3) I would have invited Krista Mahaffey off the elevator at our last reunion. A4) I would have learned to fly. A5) I would have taken more chances. A6) My middle name wasn't Reginald. Just kidding. It's not. Out of the 30 Story wizard questions these were the only ones that weren't completely stupid. Sorry. That's all you get.
