40. Do you believe in love at first sight? Anyone who has ever watched their child being born knows that this is true. I’ve fallen in love at first sight four times.

41. Can exes be friends? I’ve never seen it work too well for others. Personally, since I don’t have and ex and I have absolutely no desire to create one, the answer to this question will have to remain a mystery.

47. Favorite thing to do before bedtime? Try to carry on a conversation with my wife in sign language while she gargles for exactly two minutes after brushing her teeth. My goal is to get her to laugh so hard she has to spit out the mouthwash before her precisely timed expectoration.

48. What is one thing you are grateful for today? Peace. The kids are playing together very nicely right now. It’s not completely unheard of, but I make a point of noticing when I happens.
