If you could take lessons to learn any musical instrument, which would you want to learn?
I actually am taking lessons for the guitar. I always wanted to learn trumpet too, but I’ll stick to the guitar.
Soup
Have you ever mistaken a person for someone else?
Oh yeah, usually strangers. It is absolutely awkward putting your foot in your mouth. Another problem I have is not remembering someone who remembers me. When I was teaching huge classes or giving talks at work, people would remember me but I didn’t know who they were.

On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being highest, how well do you keep secrets?
8. Not because of maliciousness or gossip, but every once in a while you can forget that someone doesn’t know. But, on the whole I am very good. It also depends on how important the secret is. There are some things I have told no one, except my priest under the seal of confession.
Main Course
What’s the closest you’ve ever been to a dangerous animal?
Define dangerous. I have been chased by mean dogs. I have seen coyotes on my street. I have been to Lion Country Saffari and the zoo. But being chased by dogs is probably the closest.
Dessert
When was the last time you lost your patience?
I have a 7 year old boy, so the temptation to lose my patience is always there. I think the last time was about 6 weeks ago, I remember him getting into trouble, but I can’t remember why. Most likely doing something he had been asked 20 times not to do. I asked my wife, and she says I don’t lose my patience much - that I am judicious. It feels like losing my patience some times, but maybe God is granting me the patience that I keep asking for.
