Over at Sunday Stealing, there are always questions to answer for your amusement. And since you folks just can't get enough of me, here are some answers. 




26. Do you like someone?


I had better.

Metallica, "The Ecstasy Of Gold"

28. What time of day were you born?


I don't know. I was very young at the time. 
29. What’s your favorite number?


24. It was my favorite baseball player's number, plus when I was in fifth grade, we all got numbers, and mine was 24. (The numbers, as I recall, were used to determine little privileges like who got to clap erasers, stuff like that, or to divide the class into teams for spelling bees.)

Suburban Massachusetts. 
31. Are you jealous of anyone?


Anyone who seems to be handling things better than me-which means everybody. 
32. Is anyone jealous of you?


I can't imagine how or why.

At the doctor. I was in the parking lot of a grocery store when the second plane hit. 
34. What do you do when vending machines steal your money?


Conclude I probably didn't need that item anyway.

Yes. Kind of strange.

Probably my upper arm. 
37. If you could be fluent in any other language, what would it be?


Spanish would be useful, but I have always enjoyed French. 
38. Would you move for the person you loved?


I did. 
39. Are you touchy feely?


I guess so. What does that mean, exactly?

It might be, I'm ashamed to say, my sister in law's wedding. 
49. Does anything hurt on your body right now?


My abs hurt. I did EA Sports Active yesterday, and all that stretching did a number on me. Plus my toe, which the foot doctor operated on on Friday, hurts as well. 
50. Have you been burned by love?



Hasn't everyone?
