-I was taking drivers education and we were on the actual driving part. I went first that day and had actually completed my part, so I was in the back seat. Suddenly, I felt sick and although I tried my best, I pooped myself. I was mortified.

I stayed at home for a couple of days getting over whatever I had. When I returned to school, the story about me had spread everywhere. I was embarrassed for a few days, but then something happened to one of our football players and everyone moved on from me.

I learned to just keep my head down and keep going. It doesn’t last and it doesn’t matter what other people think about you. Your self worth isn’t tied up in others opinions.

-I would choose to be Sherlock Holmes. I’ve always loved the character from the first time I became aware of him. That must have been some times in the 1980’s. Shortly after, we went to visit my aunt and uncle one weekend and went to a bookstore. I got one of those books for kids with the illustrations of three Holmes stories and I was hooked.

-I’m a simple guy when it comes to pets. I like dogs and cats, having owned both as pets. I never understood the fascination that some people have with exotic pets, such as snakes or alligators. I don’t get it.

-I don’t really have a favorite. I like those local places that have a lot of character and deliver a good meal.

-I’m not much of an Olympics watcher. If there is basketball in the summer or curling or hockey in winter, I will watch that.
