1. What book has had the most significant impact on your life?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Holy Bible . . . Okay, really? I guess it would be Slauterhouse Five, whereupon we learn, as readers that a book can be poignant, sad, funny and surreal all at the same time.<\/p>\n

2. What is the worst lie you’ve ever told?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I really can’t tell you that. Some of my sinnin’ is kept between me and myself. I think we all have a few of these moments where we lie about something and then have to sit on it the rest of our lives. Okay, I’ll tell. I was never in the army.

3. If you could write your own epitaph, what would it say?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pete. I think I would have been an excellent Pete.<\/p>\n
