My name is Thomas.
I live in a 110 year old Victorian house in the middle of Brooklyn, New York with my spouse, David (sometimes known as "Scruff") and our four dogs, Foxy! (a chow chow/Finnish spitz mix), Howard (a pug), Huckleberry (another pug) and Scrappy (yet another pug). Yes, the exclamation point is part of Foxy!'s name.
I think there should be a law against wearing flip-flops on the subway, because it's not sanitary, and besides, your feet are disgusting.
One time in Peru, I ate guinea pig by the side of the road.
I like baseball, going to the theater and jazzercize--if by "jazzercize" you mean "drinking bourbon."
I have a propensity to worry about things that will never happen in a million years, which is why my physician has nicknamed me "Captain Blood Pressure."
As I child, I regularly conflated Horatio Alger and Alger Hiss. I knew that one was a self-made man, and the other was a communist spy, but I couldn't tell you which was which. As you might imagine, it led to some pretty crazy hijinx, to the point where my childhood was like a Three's Company episode, except instead of Suzanne Sommers, you had a goal oriented 7 year old who was overly-concerned about the spread of communism.
I believe that coffee is a protein, because it is made from beans.
My favorite food is pie, but if those people at Snackwells ever make a fat-free Sausage McMuffin with egg, I may change my mind.
I went through a phase in the early nineties when I only dated disabled Jewish men named Steve. True story.
I also love making lists. I love the feeling of checking something off a list. To me, that's when the sense of accomplishment really kicks in.
As self-indulgent as it is, I hope you enjoy reading about my progress on my quest to better myself, and to have some fun along the way.
