Alphabet Meme - Like I have nothing better to do.
A is for Age - 28 years young, regardless of what they may have you think.
B is for Booze - YES! Any and all! I love beer, wine, spirits, the whole blessed idea of alcoholic beverages. If forced to choose favorites, here we go... Spirits: Vodka (especially citrus vodka) and many drinks that contain vodka, such as Black Russians, Vodka tonic, and Citron and lemonade, Gin (mmm, Sapphire) and Tonic. Beer: Erdinger & Guiness. Wine: White Bordeaux, yum! and some South American wines I've tried that are top-rate.
C is for Career - Nothing glamorous, I work for a large corporation's trucking fleet making sure we get paid for everything we do. I'm also a part-time student hoping to eventually become a CPA.
D is for Dad’s name - Angel, those who know him may appreciate the irony.
E is for Essential items to bring to a party - beer and good cheer.

G is for Golf? - I've never had the slightest inclination to try it. Mini-golf is OK by me.

P is for Phobias - None really. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Although yesterday I did confess to Mama-Lu that I have a recurring fer every time I change Matthew's poopy diaper that he's going to crawl over to the dirty diaper and play with his poop.
Q is for Quote you like - Not my favorite all time, but I just came across this over the weekend while finising Dumas' The Three Musketeers:
“Do you know,” said Porthos, “that to twist that damned Milady’s neck would be a smaller sin than to twist those of these poor devils of Huguenots, who have committed no other crime than singing in French the psalms we sing in Latin?”
R is for Relationship that lasted longest - That would have to be with my wife of 1 3/4 years.

T is for Television? - Only when necessary - there's nothing I really like or commit myself to watching regularly. All my favorite shows are syndicated: Cosby, the Simpsons (well, I guess that one's still around) Cheers, All in the Family.
U is for Unique trait - my left is ear is slightly clipped on the top, into a slightly elvish shape, just like my late grandma's was. We were born that way, it's not some crazy Caribbean ritual.

Y is for Yummy food you make - Mama-Lu loves my schnitzel and my pancakes. I am also master of the grill, but, well, that doesn't count for much. I once remarked that grilling is a sham that makes men feel accomplished for no good reason. I simply stand there and watch the meat get dark. I can't really mess it up at all. In the meantime, Jenny is racing around the kitchen making side salads or kabobs to go with my slabs of meat. Who am I kidding?
Z is for Zodiac sign - Aquarius
