1. Name a favorite(s)childhood book before the age of 12?

Life Nature Series: The Sea.
Also: Shag. (It had nothing to do with carpets or sex.)

2. Favorite vegetables?

Hm, lots of them. Let's go with artichokes today. There's also spinach and mushrooms and potatoes and onion and ....

I'd mention chilis and bell peppers and tomatoes, but they're fruits, not vegetables.

3. Who is your favorite news reporter?

Valerie Castro. (She's local.)

4. Do you collect something (BESIDES books)?

Tech parts. Cables, jump drives, connectors, DSL line filters - they all go in the tech-junk drawer. Actually, there's more than one drawer.


5. Contact, glasses, none?

None. I have weird old eyes, but I'm not complaining.

6. Winter, spring,summer,fall -- favorite?

Whichever one I wake up in.

7. Favorite jelly, jam or non Unites States equivalent toast topping?

Peach preserves. Although I made some cranberry/orange topping lately that was killer.

8. Last public event you attend?

A play. I don't remember what it was. One of the grandkids was in it.

9. Favorite actor and actress?

Oh, that's tough, and there's none of them I'd go to see just because they're in it.

Robin Williams was a favorite actor. Ummm.... having recently seen Hunchback, the memories of the moment tell me Maureen O'Hara.

10. Did the first president (Or non united states equivalent) you voted for win or loose?

Win.

L
Hm. On a given day, "Jessica" by Allman Brothers, "Blues Variation" by Emerson, Lake & Palmer, or "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd. But there's a lot more than that that I might play at a given time.

Quite a bit, yes.

(6) Do you have alot of friend or no?

I think so, and I'm surprised by that. But just a few truly close ones.

I guess Star Wars. The first unadulterated one. But on another day, I might answer LA Confidential or Aliens.

(8) What was the first Stephen King book you ever read and what did you think of it?

The Shining. Liked it but thought the ending was overdone.

(9) If you could have any super power what would you want to have

Omnipotence. If that wasn't available, omniscience. If that wasn't available, immortality. If that wasn't available, teleportation.

I don't necessarily disbelieve it.
