• Super Power: he is ALWAYS right (Julie has decided the more sure she is of being correct the more likely it is that her husband is right)

• Karlness: hates sand, would love to live in Germany, is a SUPER slow eater (they used to let him cut in line in the school cafeteria to give him a head start), would have been a cowboy in another life, and has decided that the older he gets the less willing he is to wear shoes and socks (prefers flip-flops for all occasions)

• Ice Cream: never orders ice cream – always gets a shake

• Favorite Movie Quote: Rose: “How do you know? You’ve never tried it.” Charlie: “I never tried shooting myself in the head, neither. The trouble you, Miss, is you, you don’t know anything about boats!” (The African Queen)
