1. Have you ever laughed so hard that you shed tears?

I laugh and cry at the same time more frequently than is probably good for me.


2. What is the tallest building you've ever been in, and what's the highest floor you were on?

The top of the Sears tower in Chicago, however high that is. If there are any Red Sox fans in here, ask me sometime to tell you about the day -- drunk as a fiddler's bitch -- I climbed the Citgo sign so I could watch the Boston Marathon.


3. What side of the bed do you sleep on?

I sleep on the side nearest the door, which is the right side as I'm lying down. I say I do this as a protective measure, but that's not the real reason.


4. Shoes, what is on your feet right now?

My feet are bare right now. It is very rare for me to have shoes on in the house.


5. What was the first concert you attended?

I was 16 years old when I went to one of these Summer Jam festivals that featured Foghat as the headliner. Foghat was okay, but every other band on the docket pretty much blew them away. I got to see Rainbow, which featured Deep Purple legend Ritchie Blackmore and a young singer by the name of Ronnie James Dio whom some of you will -- no doubt -- remember. The Atlanta Rhythm Section, which I only knew from a couple singles I'd heard on FM radio that did not at all represent what they brought to the stage. And Sweet, a band that had a string of recognizable hits from back before FM was even a thing.

In the parlance of the day (and because I was 16), it was awesome. Totally awesome.


6. What is the strangest thing that you ate, and liked it?

In seventh grade we took a long-weekend field-trip to Cape Cod where, among other things, I discovered that fresh water snails are pretty good to eat, once you get past the idea that ... you know ... they're snails.


7. Are you a hat person?

No, and it's kind of a problem, because my hair and I have kind of had a parting of the ways, so to speak. Of course, where I live, you have to wear a hat in the winter or your ears will fall off, but in summer when I am out in the sun I am more likely to wrap a bandana around my head.


8. How many internet sites do you frequent?

Two? Three? How frequent is frequent?


9. Coffee or Tea?

Coffee ... and lots of it.


10. Do you have a Valentine?


As it happens, I have two ... thank you for asking.

Do you think i should count her?
So before we jump to conclusions - tell us more! (is she close to your age?) Is she attractive and/or intelligent?

Do you like the way she smells? Now before you think I am a pervert, chemistry is quite important between two people! (as you must know from previous experience).
