PP: What would people be surprised to learn about you—hobbies, special interests, etc.?
MJ: I have a weird bucket of random facts that I've acquired over the years. I think it's because we didn't have cable when I was growing up and only two or three (of the eight) channels kept my interest. I would find myself watching random operas or a Romeo & Juliet performance at night with my grandmother. I'd also watch things on PBS or ETV: Marty Stouffer (who is the only man I know of that could give Chuck Norris a run for his money), Nature, NOVA, Norm Abram and Rudy Mancke. I also enjoy drawing when I have the time. Perhaps the biggest surprise about me would be my 1988 National Championship title in the Pogo-ball Freestyle Competition. Just kidding—I couldn't stand those things.
