1. What is one food that’s basic in terms of ingredients and recipe, but you adore?
Basted eggs and toast. Just a bit of olive oil and butter in a non-stick skillet. Warm to about 3.5 setting on the stove. Let the butter melt but don’t let it burn.
Knock in two eggs and about a tablespoon or less of water then cover to steam/fry the eggs.
They are done when the whites are cooked but the yolks are set but still run.
Serve with toast. The entire meal takes about five minutes.

The Thin Man from 1934. Classic. Myrna Loy steals every scene.

1. What is your favorite occupation?
I liked my little job at the newspaper in Craig and mostly the people I worked with. The publisher was a bit nuts and the small town politics were bothersome but writing up feature stories of the folks in and around the town was fun.

How. How the fuck did we actually re-elect that godless mad man again. I am currently searching all over Amazon for a chaos safety kit to use when the metaphorical shit hits the fan.
3. What is your most marked characteristic?
My quick wit.
4. When and where were you happiest?
In my 30s, freshly relocated to Denver and among old friends amid new beginnings. Broke as could be and happy.
5. What is your greatest extravagance?
I still pay for cable. It is so convenient to have all that stuff you want to watch in one place. I still have some streaming apps on the Roku but I still watch a lot of cable and network stuff.
