The US Open and Wimbledon--Andre Agassi, Stephan Edberg, Pete Sampras, Michael Chang--yes, I know that, with the exception of Agassi, all of these players have been retired for quite a while. The Cubs, the Braves, and baseball in general. Apparently, incomplete sentences as well...:). Primary sources and old maps (yeah, I majored in history).

Who I Want to Meet:
People who can inspire both my well-intended sarcasm and my kindness. Only one of the two does not work. I really enjoy meeting people who can teach me something new or how to appreciate something I've never appreciated before.

Allison knows she can kick my butt in bumper cars she just lets me win. I think that says something about this girl. Or maybe it says something about me? Whats important is that in only a few short months, Allison became a good friend who was clearly willing to make huge sacrifices (like losing a critical bumper-car race) to make another friend happy. I feel lucky that our paths crossed, and pissed she moved away so soon thereafter. She is, in fact, a new record for how quickly I can cause a woman to leave the state. Or maybe I had nothing to do with that.

Well, what can I say. She's my roomie,
so I'm privy to many, many things that
I can't share. Unless, of course,
you're willing to pay!

Good taste in food, best tatest in
watering holes and towns, the worst
taste in guys and you know she's
figuring you out while you bullshit
about yellow vs brown on your
dog...which is scary until you realize
you want to let her into your head.
She's no Dr. Lector (grrr 'Hello,
Clarice!') but she dresses like a
nurse when she tries out for porny-
porns. Oh and we love her too.

I can't say enough great things about
Allison. But I can say a few. She's
really lucid and incredibly easy to
talk to -- talking to her you just get
the feeling that she just has a knack
for understanding things. She cares
about people a lot and is extremely
good at knowing when to listen and
when to offer advice. I've never known
anyone else who is such a perfect
definition of what you would want the
rest of the world to be like. Oh, and
I met Allison at a debate tournament
as well, so I guess the lesson is that
if you want to meet great people you
should go to a debate tournament.

i met allison at a debatetournament...
j/k... but i figured i should put that
since everyone else did. lol!

i officially met Allison at Mardi Gras
last year. See, i was the arresting
officer. i swear... red heads! it took
like 5 of my best guys to get her
under control. she tells evvvveryone
she moved to New Orleans to teach for
america. um yeah. those of us down
here know better. she's notorious.
she's been coming down here for years
(even as a wee tike) and causing
trouble. we always knew it was a
matter of time before she set up
permanent residence in this city of
sin.

j/k.

seriously, i met allison when she was
a contributing writer for a television
show i produced. that's not a lie.
she rocks. and that's not a lie
either.
