Interview with the FH

An Interview with the FH….with commentary from Cass in parenthesis because I just couldn’t help myself.

Do you remember the first time we met?
A – No, I don’t. Laughs. (Cass, rolls eyes, you big moron you don’t ever want to do it again do you? This is going to be a flipping disaster)

What did you think of me the first time you remember meeting me?
A – That you gave us that final – I thought it was strange….I guess I wasn’t expecting it…because you’re a really goody-goody. (Cass, this may not have been a good idea)

When did you think you’d want to marry me?
A – (Cass, he’s thinking far too long) After graduation and I told you we had a connection…you freaked out and you wouldn’t even talk to me for months.

What’s your favorite part of being married to me?
A- Ummmmmm, I don’t know….ummm well I like to be around you – usually i can’t stand people after 20 minutes and I never really get sick of you. (Cass, yes, this is a bad idea)

Do you feel you are portrayed fairly on this blog?
A – Laughs, what’s fairly? No, I think it’s mostly funny. If only they knew the real FH.

This is your opportunity to get the real FH out there so what do you want to say?
A – Well my “people” didn’t review these questions first so I’m not adequately prepared. (Cass, maybe if we did this interview another time…I’d get more of what I wanted to hear and less of this “I’m so funny” business….do you think Babwa Walters thinks to herself mid-interview this is a disaster, I’m outa here?)

Do you even read my blog?
A – No. Sometimes you read it to me, I like that. I want to go back to the other question. Yeah, I think I’m portrayed fairly for the most part…you know you have poetic license here and there but for the most part – yeah.

So what do you think about this whole being pregnant thing?
A – It’s great. Totally great.  Can’t wait.  Really really great.

What’s your favorite memory as a couple?
A – Santa Barbara trip – you driving in your hungry haunted house (Cass, when I get hungry things pop out at me and my fuse goes from short to non-existent) and going to Harvest in Brentwood. Anytime we go on a road trip to your parents house – I like that time in the car.

If you could be anywhere else in the world where would you be?
A – California, Santa Barbara

What do you think this baby is going to be a boy or a girl?
A – Girl, for sure it’s a girl. Let’s be honest here, I had a run of nearly 10 years from 1979-1988 of predicting the sex of babies where I was never wrong…in 88 the novelty wore off and for nearly 20 years I didn’t predict…until now. Your bother is having a boy, Pocklock is having a boy (sorry Pocklock…he thinks so too) and we’re having a Girl…I’m drained – this takes a lot of mental energy. Seriously, I was never wrong, never. It’s a skill.

What’s your favorite thing to do on Sunday?
A – Stay up all night and work and then nap from 6-8:30am, a good workout, a steam, and then Rye Ridge Deli…or play golf on the south course.

What do I make that you like the most?
A – I like everything you make. Your best dish though, hmmm, I’d say, it’s tough, well Lasagna is great, Chicken Parm, Scallops too. But honestly, I’ve never complained. The first meal you made was Peter Lugar Steaks…and that was also the night of the water flooding through the ceiling…that was quite a night. (Cass, I must tell you this story later)

Where do you want to go?
A – Keep evolving our life together, building my business, all that.

What’s your favorite curse word?
A – our grandfather nicknamed my brother and I the F-brothers because we used that word so much.

What 4 people alive or dead would you like to have dinner with?
A – Hubie Brown, Grandpa, John Wooden and George Rosenberg, my Mom’s grandfather a business genius

What’s your favorite tv show?
A – Interesting, I think Seinfeld’s the best…but I could watch games, no one could watch more games then me…I need at least 500 a season. (Cass, oh lord, don’t I know it) The original old school Law & Order’s before the plots got too complicated.

If ESPN died what would you do?
A – I don’t know…it’s not that great, I just watch the games…the games would still be on other channels, right? I would die without the NBA Package the golf channel and the baseball package (Cass, groan)

How is marriage different then you thought it would be?
A – Like this play-date never ends….your mom hasn’t come to pick you up. Here it’s nice, you’re always with someone…plus you’re independent which is good.

Anything you’d like to say to my blog audience?
A – I love the Robison Oil Commercial (laughs, Cass, he thinks he’s very very funny) No, I’m kidding. Umm…honestly I’m almost a contradiction – I’m crazy but I do kind things…sometimes I’m clueless. (Cass, that doesn’t make any sense – but I’m just writing it as it comes here people) I don’t know. What do you think. I love tv shows that you learn things…I like spiritual stuff on tv but I’m not into the whole church thing. I wouldn’t honestly call myself a big sports fan (Cass, are you freaking kidding me???) I just root for the competition…I want that to be clear on this blog. I was an athlete, I understand competition, I watch games to evaluate players. (Cass, He starts talking about something else and I stopped listening because he’s still on this he’s not a fan thing….sweet jebus…all I hear now is Charlie Brown’s teacher – wa whawa wawa wa wa). I work really hard at my job. Can I ask you a question? How do you like being married to me?

A. I love being married to you – I’m a lucky one….you’re never boring, you’re always yourself.  Plus sometimes you’re actually pretty funny.
FH: Oh yeah, like when.
CC: Well I don’t know
FH: Well what did I say tonight that made you laugh
CC: Nothing.
FH: Come on – I’m hilarious – you didn’t laugh even a little in my head about my “people” reviewing and approving the questions
CC: No.
FH: That’s funny.  So are you really going to publish this
CC: I think I might.
FH: Will people leave comments?
CC: They just might
FH: What happens then?
CC: Well I’ll probably reply back to them
FH: Will I be consulted?
CC: No.
FH: Well that seems unfair.
CC: Life’s like that.
FH: Do you think they’ll get the Robison Oil thing.
CC: Not likely as it’s a local company and I don’t think we have a ton of Westchester readers of the blog
FH: That’s too bad – you should try to find it online and link back so they get it.
CC: I still don’t think it’s that funny
FH: Well, what do you think
CC: This has been entertaining.
FH: Want to do another one tomorrow?
CC: No.
FH: Why not?
CC: Because the Editor would never publish another one of these interviews.
FH: Well who’s the editor – let me talk to them
CC: You’re talking to her
FH: That’s not cool.  So, what’s for dinner?
