Last week I interviewed Mark, Kevin’s best friend. Kevin is a tutor in journalism at 826LA, and Mark came by to visit him.
Mark’s favorite sport is hockey and his favorite team is the L.A. Kings. His mom used to work for Children’s Hospital. He works as an author and software writer.
When I asked Mark what his favorite food is, he said, “Brussels sprouts, chopped in half, sauteed in soy sauce.”
“I live in Portland, Oregon,” said Mark. He is married and has three kids. “My son Felix is 12, my daughter Hanna is 11, and my daughter Saskia is 7.”
He also has a brother named John, whom Mark described as, “A reasonable man and suburban farmer.”
Mark has a small house. He has a tree house in the backyard, but is having some trouble with it, something to do with the wood. He has five chickens: Fudge, Daisy, and he has not named the other ones.
His favorite kind of car is the “Chevy Nova, 1963, steel blue.” His favorite athlete is Kip Kenyo, who ran marathons barefoot. His favorite TV show is “Emergency!” and his favorite movie is “The Misfits.”His favorite hobby is stamp collecting. He can also talk fast, and he wears earrings, but he lost one.
He wears brown and also blue glasses, and blue is his favorite color.
Mark has a taste for fashion, and his favorite holiday is Arbor Day. He said his favorite season is, “Any season, like, whatever.” His favorite place to be? “826LA.”
Mark likes the dark and sleeps poorly. On the day he came to visit, April 19, he woke up at 4:30 a.m.
Mark likes coffee and his favorite chocolate is 72 percent. It is made in southern Oregon. He despises mushrooms. Mark is very cool and so is his family.
That’s the info about Mark.
