1. What is the most daring thing you've ever done?That's a tough one, I would say it's one of two things: One, in June of 2003 I rode a brand new motorcycle from Edmonton to Vancouver, in the pouring rain, with just my learners license, by myself, and the Coquihalla had a wind warning that day. Two, I got married.
2. What are your pet peeves?
People who say "take it to the next level" or worse yet: "let's think outside the box", or worst of all: "In order to take it to the next level, we need to think outside the box."
3. What Major Leaguer do you most admire and why?
Barry 'Zen' Zito was a candidate until the candy ass stood up for Barry Bonds last weekend. So, I'll go with Carlos Delgado for his fine combination of ball skills and political beliefs and his ability to pull out of the bloody awful slump he is in now so he can save my fantasy baseball team.
4. If a stranger told me I was hot I would...
I would simply reply: this is why, this is why, this is why I'm hot, I'm hot cuz I'm fly, you ain't cuz u not, this is why, this is why, this is why I'm hot, I'm hot cuz I'm fly, you ain't cuz u not, this is why, this is why, this is why I'm hot

7. If there was a fire at your home and you could only save one thing, what would it be?
If by 'thing' you mean non-possesive substantive things I would have to say.... my dignity, and by dignity I mean I would grab at least a bath robe on the way out the door. If by 'thing' you mean material possessions, I would have to say.... my wife.
8. What is your favorite baseball memory?
An unforgettable play in little league, where in an effort to score the 2-out, winning run from second base on a single to left field, I noticed, after rounding third, that the throw would beat me to the plate, I charged hard regardless and made an amazing evasive head first slide to the inside of the baseline, reaching with my outstretched right arm I just slid my fingers over the plate as the tag came down late. As I jumped up spinning to see my teammates erupt from the bench, celebrating the winning run as simultaneously Al Beital, the umpire, made an emphatic 'youuuuu'rrrre OUT!' call. The preceding mania of parents, teammates and coaches going nuts on Al for the blown call was priceless. I just looked away in disbelief catching the eye of the other team's catcher, who looked at me and mouthed the words 'you were safe' as he walked off the field.
