Jeff Guinn Revealed

Q. What is your motto or maxim? A. If you're bored, you have no one to blame but yourself. Q. What’s your greatest flaw? A. I'm much too impatient. I live in a near-constant state of irritability, though my irritation is usually directed at myself more than at anyone else. Q. What’s your greatest fear? A. I know it sounds pretty obsessive, but I dread every having a moment in my life when I can't think of anything to do. I don't want to become an old man who has lost interest in everything. Q. If you could meet any historical character, who would it be and what would you say to him or her? A. I'd like to know what Lee was really thinking prior to Pickett's Charge at Gettysburg. How could such a brilliant man make such a terrible decision? Q. What’s your fantasy profession? A. Rock star. Really. Learn more about Jeff Guinn
