Page Too: You’re a father now for a second time around at the age of 46. How’s that been?

Ron Wolfley: It’s truly amazing. When you’re 26 years old you’re trying to figure out what kind of man you’re going to be let alone how you’re going to support your family. At 46 you have a lot more perspective. You’re a lot more sure of who you are and who you’re going to be. Because of that you can appreciate things a lot more than the first time around.

PT: Savannah Shea is 14 months old. How do you balance having a toddler with having to get up at 3:30 a.m. for your morning shift on KTAR (620 AM)?

RW: It really isn’t that hard when you have a warrior queen like I have for a wife. Stephanie is an incredible mom. She does everything she can to make sure my vampiric sleeping habits are able to sync up and coincide with Savannah.

PT: If I told you 10 years ago that you were going to be a father again, what would you have said?

RW: No way. If you had asked me if I was going to be around in 10 years, I would have said no. You have to remember I came from the sea of despair.

PT: Life is good, then?

RW: It is unbelievable.

Up close and personal

Favorite movie: ”Godfather”

Favorite TV show: ”Monster Quest”

Last book you read: ”The Great Divorce” by C.S. Lewis

What do you drive: Ford Expedition

Song you would sing if you were on “American Idol”: I don’t even watch it. I don’t get it. Having said that, “Turn the Page” by Bob Seger.

Superstitions: I don’t have any. That’s my superstition.

Worst habit: Used to be nicotine. But not any more. My worst habit now is not listening when you bore me.

First job: I was a ditch digger for my uncle Don in Blasdell, N.Y.

What would you eat for your last meal: I’ll take a large double-pepperoni and jalapeno pizza with a bucket of large hot wings.

Your hero: My brother Craig

Your bucket list: I’d love to get an expedition together and go to British Columbia and settle this matter of Bigfoot. And I’d love to get back on a dirt bike. Third, I want to have the unmitigated temerity to turn in my short stories and novel. Submit it. I don’t have the guts to do it.
