Seven Things Meme
Suggested by Nonelvis here.
one insecurity: whether I'm being a good husband and father. I worry about it all the time.
two fears: something bad will happen to my wife and/or son; that I will let down my family by not bringing in enough business in my law practice to maintain the kind of life we live.
three turn-ons: brains, boobs and smile.
four life goals: get my son through college with as little debt as possible; get my son to adulthood as happy and un-f****d-up as possible; setting the alarm clock as little as possible; being financially secure enough to never have to work again (I'd probably still teach or practice law somewhat; I just don't want to have to do it).
five things I like: surfing the internet, watching TV (particularly Yankee baseball games and MSNBC political shows), food and drink (see six weaknesses below), spending time with friends (especially those I've known for 20+ years and whom I see all too infrequently), cats.
six weaknesses: carbs, alcohol, sloth, lack of patience, anger management (I'm a lot better than I was, though), and apparently I have a tone of voice that suggests to the listener that I think he or she is an idiot, which I don't hear (I'm working on that one, too).
seven things I love: (I'm going to interpret this literally as "things," not people, which would just yield a list of family and friends, and there's no way I could limit that to seven.) My house, New York City, travel, talking with my wife and son about their days and thoughts, teaching, oral argument in court, coming up with a satisfying (to me, at least) bon mot, pun, one liner or parody.
