1. What’s the best
memory that you have of your dad, while growing up? He traded cars with a coworker, driving home in a station wagon. Then
he turned down the backseats and took my favorite little classmate and I to see HELP! at
a drivein. He wanted to make sure that we young Beatlemaniacs had plenty of
room for screaming, crying, bouncing around, etc.
2. How boring do you
think your life is? I wish it was more
boring. I was named executor of my mother’s will, which gives me way too much to do in way too short a time span. Plus my older sister could not
be angrier about this turn of events.
3. Can you do any
accents? If not, do you know someone who
is good at it? I am hopeless at this. However, I had a lover who was
exceptional. He had a million of ‘em, but my favorite was when he’d call me,
pretending to be Bobby Kennedy.
4. What technology
did you at first fear that you now could not live without? You’re lookin’ at it!
5. Do you, or have
you ever, thought you have a book in you? Oh,
I dunno. I write ad copy for a living. I’m not sure I even want to try to write
a book. It might just feel like an extension of my job. Maybe when I retire …
6. How does the
weather effect where you live? It
doesn’t. Everywhere has its extremes and natural disasters.
7. Are you more
interested in your favorite artist’s next work, or the TMZ side of it all? Depends on the artist. With my beloved Boss,
Bruce Springsteen, his work is all I need to know. On the other hand, I just
like Jennifer Aniston very much and news of her recent engagement made me
happier than some of her movies have.
8. Have you ever felt
“battled-scarred” by a relationship or relationships in general? If yes, do
tell. I wasted too many years on a
genuinely hideous man. Every now and again he tries to contact me. I wish he
wouldn’t. He’s creepy and cruel and I don’t trust him, even after all these
years.
9. Do you tend to
root for the bad guy? Well, Bonnie &
Clyde is one of my favorite movies.
