1. What time did you go to bed last night and were you alone? [I usually read in bed for a while before nodding off to dreamland. Last night started reading Banana Shout and must've nodded off around 10:30 or 11:00. And, no, I was not alone. My cat had wedged herself between my legs and my ass-crack to absorb my body heat. I can't even move to get more comfortable when she does that--if I do, she growls. What a wuss I am, to let myself be controlled by a cat!]
2. If you could be given ANY gift what would it be? [An all-expenses-paid weekend at the Bunny Ranch in Reno, Nevada, would be cool.]
3. Whats your favourite way to wake up and whats the first thing you do? [After extracting my cat from my ass-crack, I rub the belly of the Buddha statue my son sent me from Japan 3 times for good luck (not that I'm superstitious or anything), open my livingroom curtains (that I'd closed the night before to thwart snipers), get a pot of coffee started, and log on to Jamaica and Beyond to see what's happening.]
4. What would you call yourself if you could choose your own name? [I like Wahoo. Don't you?]
5. What characteristics do you dislike in yourself? [I seem to attract domineering, controlling wimmin and allow myself to be used, abused, and treated like dirt.]
6. Your favourite item of clothing and why? [I don't give a rat's tail about fashion and wear clothes that are comfortable. I'd feel nekkid without my favorite blue flannel shirt, the one with the frayed collar and holes in the sleeves and back. I also love to relax at home in nothing but my green boxers with the snarling tigers. I'll be wearing those in Negril, if anyone's interested in seeing them.]
7. If you could go anywhere in the world on vacation, where would it be and who would it be with? [Patong Beach, Thailand, with my two sons.]
8. What did you want to be when you were little and do you think you ever will be? [A Raiders-of-the-Lost-Ark-type explorer/adventurer, living a life of danger and trotting off to strange, exotic places around the world. I'm linking up with the Jamaica and Beyond crew in Negril next month, aren't I?]
9.Whats the next planned event you're looking to in your life? [See answer to #8. Wait, before that, I'm looking forward to driving to central Virginia in 2 weeks to see my son's lacrosse team take on UVa.]
10. What were you doing before you started this? [Cracking open my first Coors of the day and getting ready to fix my hungry-man breakfast of scrambled eggs, pancakes, center-cut extra-lean bacon, and hashbrowns.]
11. Who was the last person you spoke to that you didnt want to talk to? [My boss--not that I dislike her or anything, it's just that she was the last person I wanted to talk to at 4:30 on Friday.]
12. What was your favourite toy as a child . . .and now? [Two daggers my dad had brought back from northern Africa in WW-II. One had an ivory handle. The other one had a handle made of goat or some kind of horn, with an elaborate ivory and enamel inlay pattern and a blood groove down the blade. I still have that last one. I used to try to hone my knife-throwing skills, hurling them at the large willow tree and monkey cigar tree in my grandparents' backyard. I never could get the knack of it. I still have an appreciation of bladed weapons, however. I hate it when I have to remove the little Swiss Army knife that my son gave me from my keychain before leaving for the airport]
