25 Random Things About Geret



1. I sometimes feel guilty that my kids have grown up without a dog—but only sometimes.
2. I think I would have been good in marketing, but I think I would have felt slick and sleazy doing it.
3. I never used to worry whether I had bad breath until my wife began to tell me that I did.
4. I cannot keep McKenzie’s friends straight. They all look the same to me.
5. My eyesight is getting worse by the month. How bad will it need to get before I get glasses?
6. Sometimes my knees hurt and sometimes they don’t—and there does not appear to be any good explanation for it other than I'm becoming a feeble old man, so I should just deal with it.
7. I can’t wait to get on a Harley again.
8. I really like my solitude in the morning. I like to get ready (shower, dress, etc.) uninterrupted and by myself.
9. The older I get, the less pumped I get for BYU sports.
10. I have always wanted to own a sporting goods store—so I could have any merchandise I wanted.
11. I love mowing the lawn.
12. Summer dawn and summer twilight are my favorite times of the day/year.
13. I never tire of “Friends.”
14. Almost every night, before I go to bed, I walk out my front door and stand on the porch for about 90 seconds and then go back inside—regardless of the weather. I have no idea why I do that.
15. If I could have only one candy on earth, it would be Almond M&Ms.
16. People might be shocked to find how few books I have read in the last 5 years.
17. I have drunk Gatorade my entire life—beginning in about second grade.
18. I played trombone for six years straight—including summer camps and marching band. The day I put it back in the case at the end of high school was the last time I played a trombone.
19. I’ve had one cavity in the last 10 years.
20. I’m a little afraid to go back to France and Switzerland. I fear they won’t be as amazing as I remember.
21. I think it would take me a long time to tire of hanging out at Puerto Penasco.
22. I think my siblings are hilarious—in a good way.
23. I could eat toast every morning the rest of my life and be OK with that.
24. My favorite movie is “A Goofy Movie.” Really. The school assembly scene is my Single. Favorite. Movie. Scene. Ever.
25. I very much enjoy kids aged 18 mos. to 3 years.

Can I just tell you how much I enjoyed that? That was so fun. I want you to do another 25:) I have to tell you, almost every night, for no apparent reason, I have to look out my front door. Not for 90 sec. but just a few. Thanks G-Dawg.

Geret, I too enjoyed that. I felt it very honest, and at times quite hilarious. I loved that you can't keep kenzie's friends straight, that you love mowing your lawn, standing on the porch, and that you love your friends. I have to say that I am shocked that you are tiring of BYU sports. And relieved that you are human and down to earth. Very fun, I'm with jen do another 25. By the way, I love to Goofy Movie too, must be why we are all so silly.

Hi Geret,

It's fun to learn more about you. I never realized that you played the trombone, especially since I played it all growing up and into high school. By the way, do you play racquetball by chance?

G-dawg, I can't believe you have wanted a sporting good store. When I first got married I put together a four year plan on how I was going to have a sporting good store. I think I still have it. Looks like we have some work to do.

A collaboration of minds, hearts, and lives. . . in this family, it's a Zoo!
