• I love to travel and I don’t like heights.  My earliest memory is being afraid to go down the stairs off the plane after arriving in Key West.  I was only 3 years old, gimme-a-break.

• I taught English in Japan.  I never taught anything in the states, but was able to B.S. my way through 8 months of lesson plans and classes abroad.

• I don’t like even numbers.  Go away 2-4-6- and 8.  Wait…I was born on the 6th.

• I’ve had 13 nicknames.  From my family:  Mikey and My Little Michael (from my Vovó).  From K-Lee:  Boner, Bones, Bones McLoud, Sylvester Staboner, 003, Mookie, Burnt Toast, Aztec Ghost, Mesh Hats, and Shmeigel.  From my wife:  Poophead (nice).

• I think Rob Machado is my half brother.  Google images him.

• I usually drive 55 on the highway.  I’m the one with the “Listen to BOB Marley” on the bumper.

• I hate the cold.  How I’ve managed to live in CT all my life is beyond me.  I would love to live in Hawaii.

• One time I shaved circles, triangles and squares into my younger brother’s hair before school.  He was in kindergarten and they sent him home from school.  Some people just don’t appreciate art.

• I put Nutella in my coffee. Try it. It’s wicked awesome!
