What is LOVE? They say you cannot love others if you do not love yourself, but this seems to be a huge problem, doesn't it?

1. WHAT TIME DO YOU GET UP to start your day?
Around 8am or later.

2. IF YOU COULD SPEND TIME GOING OUT TO LUNCH WITH ONE FAMOUS PERSON, WHO WOULD IT BE, ALIVE OR DEAD?
saturdaynight23 of course, but if it was just to talk with instead of just ogle, I would have to say Robert Heinlein for one who has passed, and Anias Nin still among the living.

3. GOLD OR JUST SILVER?
Rose gold would be my fave for just one type, but Tungsten is really neat.

4. WHAT WAS THE LAST FILM YOU SAW AND LIKED AT THE CINEMA?
We just saw The Pink Panther 2 just yesterday. It was funny. My Wife and I saw Pushed just before that and really enjoyed it.

5.WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TV SHOWS?
The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Battlestar Galactica. We love shows like Ghost Whispers and Medium, but that is our real life. We are amazed that shows like this have been able to make mainstream; put out as more factual than fantasy. They dramatize these stories a bit and conveniently wrap thing up within that hour, but other than that it is pretty right on.

6. WHAT DO YOU USUALLY HAVE FOR BREAKFAST?
Usually just a mix of cold cereal and raw milk; Golden Grams, Corn Bran, Special K w/dried strawberries and such. It changes from time to time.

7. WHO WOULD YOU HATE TO BE STUCK IN A ROOM WITH FOR HOURS?
Most any narrow minded prude xenophobe, but more specifically the former Leaders of the USA. I would have a very hard time holding my tongue. I love that song by Pink 'Would You Take a Walk With Me'

8. CAN YOU TOUCH YOUR NOSE WITH YOUR TONGUE OR CURL YOUR TONGUE?
Not even close. I seem to still be 2 finger thickness away, but I can curl my tongue.

9. WHAT INSPIRES YOU?
Collaborative efforts to create new art, be it my copper work, or digital photography.

10. WHAT IS YOUR MIDDLE NAME?
Alan, but I gave my children 3 middle names.

11. DO YOU MOST LOVE THE CITY, BEACH, OR OUT IN THE COUNTRY?
We live out in the country on a 65 acres horse ranch, but the beach is a great place to visit. We frequently drive into the City for other activities and work.

12. FAVORITE ICE CREAM?
Mint Chocolate Chip

13. BUTTER, PLAIN OR SALTED POPCORN?
Buttered and salted please

14. FAVORITE COLOR(S) OR COMBINATION?
Purple or a combo of black, white, & red.

15. FAVORITE CAR?
I've been obsessed with most anything Honda/Acura since I was a teen, but that Porsche Cayenne is pretty dang cool!

16. FAVORITE SANDWICH FILLING?
Cheddar cheese with ham or turkey

17. WHAT CHARACTERISTIC DO YOU DESPISE IN YOURSELF, OR IN OTHERS?
Dishonesty. I would rather people risk being offensive than lie to protect my feelings, but I am sure I am also guilty of this at times.

18. FAVORITE FLOWER?
Snap dragons, but lily's are beautiful.

19. IF YOU HAD A BIG WIN IN THE LOTTERY, HOW LONG WOULD YOU WAIT TO TELL PEOPLE?
It would be wise to never tell them. If I want to gift them I could do it anonymously, so I never have to answer awkward questions. If I tell them it would ruin what friendship we had no matter how I tried to handle it. that is why I would not bother to gamble.

20. FAVORITE BEVERAGE?
Ice tea for me please. Juice is great, and coffee doctored up is delightful, but I try to stray away from sodas and water is just too bland.

21. WHAT COLOR IS YOUR BATHROOM?
tan w/darker brocade patterns painted over.

22. HOW MANY KEYS ON YOUR KEY RING?
15, but I am currently missing one of them to my wife's car

23. WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO RETIRE?
Don't think i will ever be able to retire, but it will be where ever destiny lands me.

24. CAN YOU JUGGLE?
Only if you want a good laugh No i cant

25. FAVORITE DAY OF THE WEEK?
Sunday

26. FAVORITE INTOXICANT?
I hate the taste of most all alcohol drinks. It is not worth the buzz, let alone the cost and other issues. I also hate to smoke anything, so my life is pretty much straight 99% of the time.

27. HOW MANY SEXUAL PARTNERS HAVE YOU HAD?
Just 6 before I met Tia, but too many to count since then, and no, I'm not a cheater.

28. WHAT DID YOU DO FOR YOUR LAST BIRTHDAY?
Just celebrated with family out to dinner. Not much into celebrations. I feel every day should be treated like a holiday, within reason.

30. SAY SOMETHING NICE ABOUT THE DEVIANT YOU COPIED THIS FROM:
She is a peach. I still do not know much about her, other than what she hides under her clothes, but we seem to have a lot in common.
