A lion cub. They're just so damn cute. But it would have to go when it starts eating the children.

What's your favorite meal?

Depends on the time of year. Right now, with the rain and the cold a nice big bowl of Texas Red chili from a local tex-mex place with ceddar and sour cream and a pb&j sandwich.


What do you like to do when you're stuck inside on a rainy day?

Besides sex? :D

Probably play at Pixies for a bit, do some reading, clean out something...hopefully take a nap, maybe practice the piano a little.

Do you do the laundry in your household?

Not all of it, but I'm good for three or four loads a day. Ummm, laundry loads.

Who taught you how to cook?

My grandmother. The rest I learned on my own.

Who would you say in your lifetime has believed in you the most, and why?

A special lady and why because she is such a special lady.

How often are your thoughts on others?

About 95% of the time, minimum.

Do you trust others easily?

I can usually sense it.

Have you ever gotten home sick?

I have occasionally. When I lived in southern California, I missed my sister and my brother, and all of my friends--new climate, new environment, etc. It was easy to understand, as I really knew no one there. I haven't had too much since I've lived in Iowa, although there are certain places I miss (as our retail/restaurant choices aren't the greatest) and I miss spending time with those I'm close to.

Do you believe in magic?

sometimes.....

do you ever wish you could watch yourself live your life for a day?

No. I'd pick someone far more interesting than me.

Is your profession the same as you thought it would be when you were a child?

No, even the job I retired from wasn't my childhood dream. I wanted to be an artist for years and years and years. Even got a BFA degree from Millikin University in Decatur. But, alas, my career was in Data Processing (IT, IS, whatever ... :))

Do you have hopes and dreams for your children?

I will have when I have them

have you ever admired someone from afar?

Several people, yes.

Have you ever really looked forward to meeting someone?
