Q&A

Okay, so I've been getting a lot of questions from people and I thought I would devote this post to answering those questions.

Q: How's the weather? A: Terrible! Yesterday Phoenix set a new record for number of days in the year being over 110 degrees. “But it’s a dry heat!” I’ll punch the next person who tells me that.

Q: Well do you have air conditioning? A: Air what? No, someone came up with this great invention called a swamp cooler that pumps humidity into the air, cooling it down slightly. They must be more economical, because most people have them.

Q: Wow, all that sun and you must have a tan by now, right? A: Nope, I'm still a pale white kid. Most of my time is spent inside of our building working. When I am outside I avoid the sun like I avoid Andre House staff members after eating the beans we serve on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Q: How's the food? A: Well if you don't mind eating the same thing every week, the food is great. Sunday is chili, Monday is pasta salad, Tuesday is spaghetti, Wednesday is hot dogs, Thursday is burritos, and Saturday is goulash. Our meal cycle is as regular as, er, the moon's cycles.

Q: What have you done on your off days? A: So far nothing much. I have focused a lot of my time on preparing stuff to get back into West Point. Fortunately I should be able to finish all of that paperwork by Christmas, then I won’t have to do anything but worry about whether or not I’ll be reaccepted for the rest of my time here (there’s actually not much of a worry). I have been to three Diamondbacks games (the pro baseball team) and enjoy riding around the city.

Q: Have you been cutting your hair? A: I’m sure to everyone’s dismay, yes, I have been buzzing my head about every three weeks. It’s too darn hot to have any hair.

Q: Have you run into any hostile dogs lately? A: Friday when I was running through a nearby neighborhood, there was one dog that ran up to me. Fortunately he only wanted to attack me with some slobber and love, so that made me feel good inside. But I'm still not sure why everyone in this city needs a huge dog and then lets them run around.

Q: Have you been keeping your sense of humor. A: I’ll let you decide.

Q: Have people actually been asking you these questions? A: Nope, I made them all up. But I am happy to answer questions anyone has, just send them!
