1. What is something note-worthy about your hometown?
My hometown really wasn't famous for anything at all. Where I live now: Elvis, and, sadly, being the place where Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated.

2. Have you read Finders Keepers yet? If so, how do you like it? No, I'll have to wait it out at the library or luck up and find it in a thrift store. But I like the hunt.

3. Do you sleep with the sheets tucked or untucked? Bottom of the sheet tucked

5. Name one thing you would hate to lose. My mind, again

6. If you could been in an already-established musical group, which one would it be? Why? I'm gonna be in Led Zeppelin with n_n, we'll have to work something out with the Almighty Mr. Plant

7. Do you ever have recurring dream(s)? If so, what is it/are they? I do - I used to have the teeth falling out dream - often, but haven't had that one in a while.

8. Who is your oldest living relative? How old is he or she? My beloved Aunt Geneva, she's 86

9. Strangest injury you've ever had? Hmm, I don't know that I've ever had a strange injury. I did cause one though. The Ogre and I were peeling potatoes, and since I'm left handed, I can't use a peeler, I have to use a knife. We were standing side by side at the kitchen sink and his arm came down on my paring knife. He did it to himself really. But it required stitches. He had a great time telling the doctors and nurses that his wife stabbed him.

10. Would you rather go way back in time and meet your ancestors or go far in the future and meet your great-great-great grandchildren? I'd like to meet my future great-great-great grand children. Though I can't imagine any of my children actually having children.

1. What is something note-worthy about your hometown? I think some architect named Fay Jones is from here. If I remember correctly, he's kind of a big deal in the architecture world, he was a student of Frank Lloyd Wright's or something....not Ron Burgundy type big deal...but I guess he's known. The actress Lisa Blount is from here, she died a couple of years ago. Of course, Sam Walton the founder of Wal-Mart was from just up the road in Rogers, AR and Don Tyson, the founder of Tyson Chicken is from Lowell, which is between where I live and Rogers, AR. Also home of the Razorbacks.

2. Have you read Finders Keepers yet? If so, how do you like it? About two-thirds of the way thru.

3. Do you sleep with the sheets tucked or untucked? Tucked.

4. What is your favorite thing about yourself? Not really a big fan of myself, I guess my ability to smell out a scam or to call bullshite on something.

5. Name one thing you would hate to lose. Besides my wife and son, it would probably be the ability to read.

6. If you could been in an already-established musical group, which one would it be? Why? Alice in Chains before Layne Staley passed away. He had the most chilling musical voice I have ever heard. I would have liked to been able to meet him and talk with him. I think we would have had a lot in common.

7. Do you ever have recurring dream(s)? If so, what is it/are they?Not really recurring, but my dreams are usually violent, always have been, ever since I was a kid. Never have figured that one out.

8. Who is your oldest living relative? How old is he or she? I think my mom and dad take that award now, all my grandparents are deceased. My mom and dad are 62.

9. Strangest injury you've ever had? I broke my leg in three places when I was five years old. I can still remember the blinding pain all these years later. It was an interesting experience.

10. Would you rather go way back in time and meet your ancestors or go far in the future and meet your great-great-great grandchildren? I'd go back in time and meet my ancestors. Supposedly one of them murdered an English official and fled to America way back in the 1700's or something to that effect. That story was from my dad's grandfather who was drunk more than he was sober according to my dad.....
