Hello. Dr. Odd here. I went through a lot of people on my Q and A and I thought it was a good idea to start over with some new questions. You will see all the same people as before, just some fresh questions. Merilou Ziola
We would like to introduce Michael.
Work
How do you plan to spend the next 13 years? I just moved to the 'burbs after 10 years in the City so I haven't really thought about it. I guess I will be buying a lawn mower at some point, having a 2nd kid, incorporating black socks while wearing shorts into my wardrobe, learning to like soccer, embracing light beer, and seeing how in 13 yrs my daughter will be 14 I will probably at some point have to buy a gun and work on perfecting my icy cold "don't even think of touching my little girl" stare.
What is your job title? Corporate Trainer (or as my wife calls likes to call me - Pledge Trainer. See below.)

Material
What is your favorite color? Most people would think I would say black as that is what I wear most often (black is very slimming...) but I'd have to say my favorite color is green.
What was your first car? 1972 Pontiac Grand Safari station wagon that had the drivers side door welded shut from accidents. I was the youngest of four kids so it went through all my sisters before it got to me and my dad was so cheap he pocketed the insurance money rather than get the damn car fixed. A rather cool feature was the handle for the blinkers had broken off as well so you to stick your finger in the steering column and push down or up to get the blinkers to work. Also, it had a sweet 8 track player.
