Deep

Last Halloween, an obnoxious kid came to our door in a fairly lame costume. After he got his candy and began walking away, he shouted, "Hey dad! This guy's got a nerrrrrd voice!" -- "this guy" being me. And you know, I suppose I do (at least when I'm not putting a fake British accent on it). Check it out for yourself in my interview video.

But whenever I have a cold, as I do now, I could easily pass for the smoothest, lowest-voiced FM radio DJ around. I was even able to sing some convincing Barry White today. So next year, maybe I should hope for a cold on Halloween. If that kid returns, I doubt he'll remember his comment of a year before. But maybe I could share the cold with him.
