Some questions about Andy...started by siblings

In response to my sister's blogs (Jennifer's and Susan's) I am posting some random stuff about myself...not exactly sure what questions I'm answering so here goes something...or nothing:

1. I was born in Indianapolis, Indiana. It was boring then. It's almost hip now...for Indiana.

2. My best friend when I was little was a kid was Nikki Ingrisano and then Jason Beehler.

3. Proudest childhood moment? I won a science fair using some experiment I got out of a book but I did a good enough job that I got to skip school one day to go to the regionals at the Butler Fieldhouse. I left early b4 the awards assuming I had won nothing. I was wrong but whatever I won wasn't very memorable. My genius cousin won something big though, I remember that. I also won a Haiku contest once in 4th grade but that's b/c I got mine out of the Encyclopedia and changed one word. The hung it up in the hall for awhile. I got over the guilt pretty quick.

4. My favorite Crayola crayon color is some sort of dark blue. Haven't used them in awhile. Which explains my grumpiness.

5. Fondest childhood memory? Trips to King's Island (purchased by corporate america and never to be visited again) and riding the Smurf's ride...sleeping in and watching cartoons in the basement with my brother during the summer b/c it's a constant 63 degrees in our basement (very cave-like), going to visit some caves in Kentucky with my dad and brother...just the guys.

6. My perfect day would be a Sunday, skipping church but reading some Scripture or a good book while lounging around with my wife, my son and some really, really good coffee. Then going to see the Colts play and beat the Patriots (and I'd videotape it so their coach could have TWO copies of the game, one from my side and one from his). Then I'd take my wife out to dinner at Spezia (the old one, not the new one) and then we'd watch our son sleep until we joined him.

I'm guessing my brother ben is next in the list of kids who have to do this...but I'm not even sure he has a blog. He should...he's the kid with the strongest opinions of all of us. Love ya bro.

There were no "set" questions, just wanting to know random things about you.
I'm glad you answered though... isn't it fun to remember things that were SO IMPORTANT like Science Fairs and Little League and the Ingrisano's???
Hope you have a nice trip to Iowa. You are NOT the people I want to be delivering my "buckeyes". Please remind the INDIANA people to do that, OK?

BTW--CUTE kid.

dude, i am too honest, and would need VERY specific questions to answer.

so i say, "bring 'em on!"

i think the last guy to say that ended up spending a little too much money on a project that was supposed to last a few months and ended up being a few years, but thats another (hi)story.
