Monday Spotlight

Sarcastic
Calm and cool
Optimistic
Tea connoisseur
The man knows a lot about a lot


Scott is my husband for all you thousands of readers who don't know this yet.

We met online! Ahhhhh, yes it's true. Now days meeting online is no big deal, but we met online when it was a big deal. When you didn't know if you were meeting for dinner or for an axe murder. We went to Sushi on Shea then for drinks at a place called the Famous Door (now out of business) The first date didn't go very well. He was a nice guy and I just wasn't sure if I was done getting emotionally beat up just yet. You know what I'm talking about girls. You gotta get that bad boy out of your system.

Our second date was where the magic happened. No no, not that magic. The knees weak magic. The PG magic. Don't ask me what changed. I'm not really sure, but something did and from then on out I couldn't get enough of the man. He was my drug. My black tapered jeans, poofy hair, target clothes Cherokee brand wearing hunk o' burnin' love.

The man is a romantic at heart. He wrote me countless love poems, cooked for me, played his guitar for me and loved/loves me like no other ever could. He even proposed to me on the top of the Empire State Building.

He's ambitious as all get out. He's kind and willing to teach anything to anyone. He thrives on helping people understand things, whether it be how to connect a Storage network to a grid or help his wife with her placement community college math test or helping people understand their own selves better.

He's what you call a "stand up guy" a "Renaissance man" and an all around A+.

Ladies and gentleman, readers from around the globe. I present to you Scott


Favorite Color?

Blue

What are you most proud of?

Becoming the person I’ve become through my own volition. I’ve made myself more patient, understanding, and genuinely interested in the best for myself and others through my own hard work and will to change. I saw who I was and who I wanted to be and I started down the road to change. And I’ll continue down that road till the day I die.

Republican or Democrat?

Independent. I can’t align myself with any political organization when it’s the candidate that counts. I believe political parties are organizations designed to remove the need to think. People can conveniently vote along party lines to keep from having to research and thoughtfully decide.

What's on your pizza?

Anchovies, garlic, mushrooms, tomatoes, basil

If you could do anything for a living what would you do?

I would work for National Geographic. I’d be the person who travels to all different parts of the world to document nature, society, and life in general. There would be danger, real danger, adventure, and new experiences.

What do you love most about your wife?

Love most? That’s a hard one to pick. I would say it’s her spark. It’s the spark of creativity and her passion. She always asks me for more specifics about what I mean by spark or passion and creativity, but I can’t give her more specifics. The spark drew me to her originally and it is part of what keeps me coming back every day. It’s hard to describe the spark in detail, but you know when someone has it and when they don’t. She had it when we met, she lost it for a while when she lost her way, but it’s back now with a vengeance and it’s attractive.

Life would be easier if…

If people truly always tried to do what’s right. No one can make me believe that the behavior from the executives of Enron, from some of our politicians like Chris Dodd and Barney Frank, and from the people who cut you off and then flip you off is motivated from trying to do the right thing. When people try to do what’s right, society works better. Alas, that’s why communism doesn’t work. It requires that all people are truly interested in doing what is right
