Top 10 Things You Probably Didn’t Know about Paul:
1. Paul has random food dislikes. Such as – no walnuts in brownies, no raisins in bread, no olives, white meat chicken, mint flavored foods, coconut…. to name a few – there are others.
2. Paul and I have a dog named Riley. We have had him for almost 4 years and Paul still wishes we had named him Rufio (yes, from the movie Hook).
3. One of Paul’s all time favorite movie’s is Home Alone. Feel free to throw him a quote. He will respond in kind. (“This is my house, I have to defend it!”) Sandlot also works. (“FOR-EVVVVVV-ERRRRRR”)
4. Paul is originally from Liverpool, New York  - just outside of Syracuse, NY. This is why you will never hear him say its “freezing” in LA because “freezing” in Syracuse is under 20 degrees.
5. Paul has very random sports allegiances. He is a die hard Philadelphia Eagles fan (started when Donovan McNabb went to Syracuse.) He has no true baseball allegiance but has been known to root for the Red Sox (after going to college in Boston), is a Laker fan (after we moved to LA) and is a Detroit Red Wings Fan (after Sergei Fedorov. He also wears the same number as Fedorov – #91).
6. Paul has been to more than a dozen different countries. One of his favorite places is the original Legoland in Denmark.
7. Paul can play the spoons. (Please ask him, it’s hilarious.)
8. Paul worked abroad for almost 7 months in London, England and started becoming a Liverpool Soccer fan.
9. Paul played the trumpet. (For about a week, before his Mom shut that down.)
10. Paul’s dream job would be to own a restaurant/bar on a random stretch of beach and to live the quiet life.
