    What’s the kindest thing someone has ever done for you?

    It’s hard to rank acts of kindness when one has an attitude of gratitude. Each day there’s an opportunity to be thankful.

    I’ll just talk about one that stands out in particular.

    Last November 1st, I had plans for that night that didn’t come to fruition. One of my best friends from high school called to ask what I was doing then. At that point, I had nothing. But we both knew that Game 7 between the Dodgers and Blue Jays was happening, so he invited me to come watch it at his place.

    We both have our favorite baseball teams. Our hangouts since high school have consisted of playing video games and watching baseball. At that time we were each going through changes in our personal living situations. Game 7 just felt like a good occasion to hang out, watch baseball, and get away for a bit.

    After I left his place that night, I thought, “Wow! What a crazy game!”  We were both ecstatic because we were rooting for the Dodgers, and they were two outs away from losing the series. I really got to hear what he was going through and to listen to him. I was so grateful to be invited into another person’s home.

    It was as if we were in high school again.

    If the salary was the same, what job would you be doing right now and why?

    If the salary was the same, the job would be a lawyer.

    One thing I like to do is meet people and listen to their stories. I like hearing where they are from, the nature of their childhood, accomplishments, and issues. If they reveal the issues, then I would give guidance to help resolve them.

    For me, it goes to being a faithful steward over another man’s livelihood. In my case, I think of what John Adams wrote about James Otis’s arguments regarding the Writs of Assistance and John Adams’s own defense of the British soldiers in the colonial era before independence. They both provided legal advocacy at critical stages in colonial history.

    If I were to pursue the dream of being an attorney, I’d have to go back to school to get the degree and be admitted to the bar. But there’s a chance that I may not end up in the field of law that initially interested me. Nonetheless, there is still a desire to fulfill that part of advocacy and to do the necessary work of people-facing services, research, and personal responsibility that goes with it.

    Share a hobby you’ve picked up recently — what got you into it?

    I’ve recently gotten back into running. I was looking for a way to shed extra pounds from my frame. I was running with a club that meets monthly but lately I’ve added extra runs into my fitness routine.

    I got into it more when someone I met at the club told me about Strava. I had seen the app before but I wasn’t able to use it because I had an old phone that was filled to the brim.

    Anyway, I downloaded it. When I saw that I could track my runs and incorporate the outputs and exercise into my other fitness apps, I became more motivated to run. It gave me numbers to hit and strive for. I wanted to see how much I could do and how many calories I was burning. Let me tell you, it was a revelation.

    Now, I’m not necessarily a running enthusiast, but I’m picking up the habit again from 6 years ago. Back then everything was closed, including the gyms. I was at my lowest weight ever and quite possibly my fittest since I discovered the Insanity home workout program.

    Can I beat 2020 me?

    What’s a book you never finished but still think about?

    Does the dictionary count as a book?

    On the other hand: There are lot of books that I’ve finished that I did not understand at all.

    If you had to get a tattoo right now, what would it be and why?

    There was a time (20-25 years ago) where I would have answered with symbol of ignorance. Fortunately I didn’t succumb to that temptation. I didn’t have the means to do it.

    Thankfully that decision has paid off. I don’t have to live with a feeling with regret now that I’m older. I’m not against tattoos. They work for other people, but they wouldn’t work for me.

    What’s a thing you wish schools actually taught?

    Home economics, financial literacy, and prayer.

    The most important one is prayer. It seemed like things went downhill in American public schools when it was removed. The beginning of knowledge is the acknowledgement of God.

    Share a photo of your pet and tell us one thing that makes them uniquely them.

    No photos because I don’t have any pets.
