1. LUST: Besides your current Significant Other who do you lust for or have you lusted for?
Most women. If I have to be more specific than that, I will say that in the past I have lusted after my high school Spanish teacher, as well as various women I dated or wanted to date. Of late I find myself lusting for numerous platonic female friends, as well as more than a couple of my sisters-in-law, though I’ve taken a lesson from Jimmy Carter and confined my lust to my heart (or at least my mind). While Jill may have no problem with my quiet attraction to other women, there’s no telling how THEY might take it.

2. GLUTTONY: What food brings out your inner glutton?
At the moment I’m going to say pizza. Tomorrow you’d get a different answer.

3. GREED: What are you greedy for?
Happiness. Can I be greedy for happiness? If I can, put me down for that, because if one is truly happy, one needs not be greedy for anything else.

4. SLOTH: What is your plan for an ideal day of sloth?
Sleeping in until about nine or ten, then getting dressed – unlike my wife I can’t be comfortable in pajamas for very long after I’ve woken up – and doing some things around the house, likely while watching movies or television. That’s about as idle as I care to be.

5. WRATH: Describe a time that you let out a can of whoop ass on someone.
I once lost it on a guy in defense of his girlfriend, who was a friend of mine at the time. Wasn’t proud of my actions then, and I’m not particularly proud of my actions fifteen years later. But it needed to happen.

6. ENVY: Who or what do you envy? Why?
I envy those who can be truly happy without accumulation of material things. I’ve never known what that’s like.

7. PRIDE: Have you ever had to swallow your pride? What are you proud of?
Of course I have. I’m not always right, though I frequently am. When I am wrong about something, I’ll quickly admit it, if only to deprive the party that is right the opportunity to gloat. I’m proud of my relationship with Jill, and the fact that, together, we have built the sex life I’ve always dreamed of having.

1. LUST: Besides your current Significant Other who do you lust for or have you lusted for?
I have actively lusted after the husband of a close friend of mine, especially when I was single. I would never have tried to seduce him without her blessing, but had she asked me to have a threesome with them, I would have agreed without any hesitation. Besides him, I have fantasized about many other friends, including some of the friends who regularly (or occasionally) read this blog. You know who you are.

2. GLUTTONY: What food brings out your inner glutton?
Mashed potatoes. Hot sourdough bread and butter.

3. GREED: What are you greedy for?
Sex, love and attention, not necessarily in that order. I can’t get enough of any of them.

4. SLOTH: What is your plan for an ideal day of sloth?
Waking up around noon and hanging out by a warm fire in my PJs. Maybe reading a great book for awhile. Then curling up on the couch to watch a chick flick while drinking some peppermint hot chocolate.

5. WRATH: Describe a time that you let out a can of whoop ass on someone.
I can’t think of any off the top of my head! It’s not that I’m not that kind of person, or that I’ve never let someone have it (verbally more likely than physically). But these things happen so rarely that I can’t recall.

6. ENVY: Who or what do you envy? Why?
I envy people like my great uncle and my grandmother, who were so warm and outgoing that they could make you feel like the most important person in their life everytime they spoke to you, or even everytime they were in your presence.

7. PRIDE: Have you ever had to swallow your pride? What are you proud of?
I’ve had to swallow my pride many times when I was wrong about something. I am proud of the difference I have made in the lives of the people I work with. I’m very proud of the woman I have become, and the mother that I will be.
