When I get the feeling back in my hands

1. Are you still planning to have kids?
Yes, the plan still is on. Marie and I want to have one, but I have a feeling that might change. I'm scared of being a bad parent, but realize worrying about it is probably a small sign that I'll be okay at it.
2. What is Wisconsin like? I have been interested in it, due to the fact that it enjoys a reputation for being somewhat liberal.
Wisconsin is nice - I've lived here all my life. I've been to both coasts and while Seattle was nice, Wisconsin is a great place to live. Although, on these -30 degree days, I wonder...
As for the liberalism, I think it's a pretty open-minded place. I listen to WPR on a regular basis and feel that the callers are pretty evenly divided.
3. Do you have a favorite candidate for the nomination?
Kucinich is my choice for president, as I think he has the best platform. Electability is a poor reason to vote for someone. I'll need to do more research on Kerry, Dean and Clark, as I think one of them will end up getting the nod.
4. I didn't know you were straight-edge. Was it difficult to resist the temptation to drink in college?
College wasn't that difficult for me - I roomed with my best friend at the time and also had two or three other friends from high school that also attended. Marie did a lot to pull me out of my shell, as my most frequent activity on the weekend was computer-related.
5. Have you written songs before? Do you still play music at all?
I've never written anything musically. I played the trombone in school and recently played drums with a friend (he taught me a few things, but we didn't stick with it long enough to make real progress). It was fun while it lasted, we mostly drummed along to Tom Petty or Billy Joel. Nothing too complex (well, except for Don't Come Around Here No More).

...Kucinich is the man.
