\u00a0<\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/SPAN><\/P>

First name?<\/STRONG><\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P>

Steve
<\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P>


<\/O:P><\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P>

How long have you been in the Sim?<\/STRONG><\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P>

About 9 years.\u00a0 I believe my first week was 467.
<\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P>


<\/P>

Favorite food?<\/STRONG><\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P>

Any kind of Italian food
<\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P>
Dog or cat?
<\/O:P><\/STRONG><\/FONT><\/SPAN>

Neither.\u00a0 But if I had to choose, it’d be a dog.\u00a0 I’m allergic to cats.\u00a0 :
<\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P>


<\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P>

If you were to take a solo road trip which would you rather drive – a convertible or a motorhome?<\/STRONG><\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P>

Motorhome…\u00a0 gotta be comfortable.
<\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P>

Hobby – other than horseracing?<\/STRONG><\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P>

Almost any kind of sports, but specifically baseball and hockey.\u00a0 I’m a partial season-ticket holder to the Angels, and full season ticket holder to the Ducks.\u00a0 I also try to make it to as many UCI basketball games as possible.
<\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P>

Favorite band or singer?<\/STRONG><\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P>

No real favorite.\u00a0 I listen to all kinds of music, except rap.\u00a0 Rock, country, alternative, pop, anything goes.
<\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P>

Last book you read?<\/STRONG><\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P>

Jeez…\u00a0 probably something in high school.\u00a0 No joke.\u00a0 I don’t do books.\u00a0 lol…
<\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P>

What’s playing in your cd player or Ipod right now?<\/STRONG><\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P>

Believe it or not, I don’t own either.\u00a0 Even my car doesn’t have a CD player.
<\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P>

If you were stuck in a hospital room for 6 months and could chose one person, past or present, other than husband\/wife, relative or in-law,\u00a0to be in the bed next to you – who would it be?<\/STRONG><\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P>

If you’re going to be stuck with someone for that long, they better have something interesting to say.\u00a0 So I’d say some sort of sports writer or historian.
<\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P>

If you were to take a day trip in your area – where would you go?<\/STRONG><\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P>

Whichever local racetrack is running.
<\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P>

Favorite real life racehorse?<\/STRONG><\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P>

Currently, Curlin.\u00a0 From the past, Cigar and Pleasantly Perfect.
<\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P>

If you could meet one person in the Sim – who would it be?<\/STRONG><\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P>

Lots of great people I’ve gotten to know through the sim, but if I had to choose one, it’d probably be Steve\/flagdown.<\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P>
