1. Did you get an allowance as a kid, and if so, how much was it?
Yes, I had an allowance. I don’t remember the amount. It was based on chores – lawn mowing, trash emptying, snow shoveling, and general household helpfulness.

2. How old were you when you had your first job, and what was it?
When I was 14, Judy, a childhood sweet heart, and I started a window washing business one summer. We washed windows for several homes and for a number of businesses in town.

3. So, how big is it?
Generally, I am running with “5’s,” which are generally big enough. Fours will do the trick but I am saving up for Titanium “6’s” to really get the boost.

4. Are you good with directions?
Um, no. I get lost quite easily. I generally know where I and I know where I am going, but I easily get lost on side streets.

5. What do you smell?
Pets and stale air conditioning with just a kiss of chocolate.

1. If you had to participate in one Olympic event what would it be and why?
I used to answer this question with Quoits, but it is no longer an Olympic sport. So, with the modern games, I will go with beach volleyball.

2. What is the one song you always sing along to?
Thunder Road, by the Boss.

3. Do you wear a seatbelt in the car?
Always. Without fail, every single time.

4. Car, suv or truck and why?
I guess it is an SUV. A little crossover thingy, a station wagon on steroids.

5. Are you a good/bad driver? explain
I think I am a good driver. So does my insurance company. Ed thinks I am a terrible driver – but I have had less accidents by far.

1. Whats harder to live without, chocolate or alcohol?
Surprisingly, to te who those who know me, it is chocolate. You see, at the house, I never run out of alcohol, but i will run out of chocolate and when that craving hits for the cocoa bean, it can hurt. It can hurt bad mama. Oh sweet mama, give me the chocolate.

2. Does the color yellow remind you of anything?
Wow, this is so Freudian – but it is the first thing that came into my mind: Mom’s Cub Scout leader uniform. Boy, do I need to do some solid therapeutic couch time.

3. Who most annoyed you last week?
The accounts receivable department at emax hosting.

4. Do you have a cutesy romantic nickname for your partner (or previous partners)?
For former partners, I simply refer to a plaintiff. Currently – is it wrong to refer to ones penis as Stretch Armstrong?

Stand By Me. Good flick. I am not into scary movies.

1. What’s your favorite TV network?
Broadcast Television? Currently CBS. Cable? HBO. Deep Cable? Either BBC America or Mojo.

2. If you could create your own channel, what would it be?
Springsteen vision. All Bruce all the time. Seriously, though, I want a redo of Tvland, with lots and lots of old shows. Tony Mo has the best idea, concerning pilots, but I will let him explain.

3. What TV show did you watch as a child, that you wish they would bring back?
As a wee lad, I liked a Saturday morning show called Ark II. I was also a huge Johnny Quest fan. Johnny Quest could be made into a great action series on the Sci Fi channel.

4. What show have you always hated, and wonder why they ever made such a dumb show?
Green Acres, as a child. As a grown up, I have yet to watch most reality shows as well as Dangerous Housewives. I will say any of those could never have been made, I my life would not be affected in any way.

5. What TV show’s seasons would you buy on DVD?
Through Netflix, I have rented some – Lost and a few PBS series. I don’t think I would buy any. Oh wait, I have a two box set of shows from the original British series : Thunderbirds. Fab.
