Bio
I'm married with two daughters and have been teaching at a state university in a red state for 21 years. My blogging covers a lot of issues but I'm a progressive kind of guy who tends to focus on political process, conservatism, and religiosity. Living in the Bible Belt gives me a little different though not necessarily more friendly perspective on conservatism. I also get in the occasional sports post.

Ten Answers for Pilgrim's Ten Questions

Rate: 2 Flag

1.   What is your favorite word?  Love.  I've reached for it, have it, and still don't quite believe it.  "Oh!  What a world!"

2.   What is your least favorite word? Bitch.  It kills me to see my daughters embrace it.

3.   What turns you on?  Women, although I'm old enough that they no longer make my brain explode. 

4.   What turns you off?  New York accents.  I'm still surprised that anyone has sex in the Big Apple.

5.   What sound or noise do you love?  The Pacific--even more than the Atlantic

6.   What sound or noise do you hate?  The sound of impending doom--a car engine coughing.

7.   What is your favorite curse word?   J-e-e-e-s-u-s Christ--Not that I use it anymore now that I live in the Bible Belt.

8.   What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?  Jazz pianist-- I'd like to express through my hands that way.

9.   What profession would you not like to do? Law.  The more I learn, the more tedious it seems.

10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?  I'd like God to be Bill Murray and say "Yeah, I forgive you for being an atheist.  Now go have a beer on me."

Sorry I got here so late, Ric: had access problems (and, ugh, work to do . . . )

Love these answers, starting with the first one: and the sad irony of the second. 3, 4 and 6 are brilliantly funny. So is 10, for that matter.
Nice job! Thanks for playing along.
