I like drinking wine and coffee. I have five sons. I take my boys to baseball practice. I coach the baseball team my sons play on. We do not have any pets.
I love drinking wine. I like drinking coffee in the morning. Caffeine keeps me awake. I do not like people. I like animals. I have lots of cats. I like bird watching with my cats. I am an animal activist. I hate the holidays because they make me depressed.
Are you apart of any animal activist groups? Yes, I am part of PETA, which is People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. I believe a civil society treats all living creatures ethically, both people and animals. I definitely understand.  I am really busy with baseball, but we do try and help out around the community. My oldest son and his team actually did their volunteer work at the humane shelter. Nice! I feel so sorry for all the animals at the humane shelter. I wish more people would not only volunteer to work but help advertise all the animals needing homes. Do you plan on getting any pets in the future, maybe from the human shelter? We have thought about it a lot.  With the baseball becoming almost a year round thing, we didn't feel we had the right setup to get a pet.  Maybe when the youngest gets to high school we can finally get a dog.   I totally understand. You are so busy with your boys that it makes sense to wait until you have more time to care for a pet. I can imagine the time demands with so many sons. I hope you give yourself time to relax. I find that a glass of wine in the night is really good for relaxing. I remember you like wine too. Which do you prefer, red or white wine? Red....all the way!  In the morning I need all the coffee caffeine boost I can handle, but you are right, I need to unwind with a good wine.  It's usually cabernet sauvignon. EXCELLENT! Cabernet Sauvignon is my favorite as well, especially for relaxing in the night. About the only time I drink white wine is during dinner if I'm eating fish and chicken dishes. I'm hear you on the coffee. Best way to get energy in the morning. For coffee are you a cream and sugar person or do you like it black, or something else? I would pretend to be macho and go all black, but I can't get enough of my sweeteners. It's usually 2/3s coffee and 1/3s cream (any flavor will do).  What about you? Yep, about the same. The cream adds to the smoothness, and then just the right amount of sugar to give it that little extra boost! How many cups of coffee do you drink a day? I imagine as a coach you need to stay alert to manage all the sporting details, and the caffeine must help with staying alert. I am almost afraid to go there!  I have a couple in the morning as a pick-me-up.  Then probably a couple more.  I traded one vice for another, but I find that this is less disgusting than when I chewed tobacco!   Ha ha! Not me, I just do the one cup of coffee in the morning. Funny you mention chewing tobacco. I tried that once and it gave me a buzz, but not the good kind of "alert" buzz that coffee gives. In fact I felt sick afterwards. Glad you switched to coffee. You and I have a lot in common in terms of drinks!
