1) What was the first song you remember hearing and enjoying on the radio?
This will make me old, “Playground In My Mind” by Clint Holmes….

When this old world gets me down
And there’s no love to be found
I close my eyes and soon I find
I’m in a playground in my mind
Where the children laugh and the children play
And we sing a song all day

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
La la la la la la la

2) If you could only listen to five CDs for a year, which five would they be? (Boxed sets can count as one CD. Sigh.)

• Collected works of Mozart
• Off The Deep End by “Weird Al” Yankovic
• Master of Puppets by Metallica
• Alien Invasion II
• Collected Works of Beethoven

3) What was your favorite year, music-wise?
It would have to be 1982, just look at all the hits that year.

4) If you could witness one historical music event through all time, what would you pick, and why?
The birth of the universe. That would be so cool!

5) Do you have a song that never fails to cheer you up? What is it and why does it do that for you?
“I Lost On Jeopardy” by “Weird Al” Yankovic cause at least someone is lower on the scale of Jeopardy than I am.

Oh-oh-oh-oh

I lost on jeopardy, baby (oooh)
I lost on jeopardy, baby (oooh)
I lost on jeopardy, baby

1. Do you have friends abroad?
Yes, a few. One in particular is Janita.

2. If yes, which country is the farthest?
I think it is a toss up between Japan and Russia.

The lady from Japan and the lady from Russia went to the same university I did and we try to keep in touch. Janita I met online and I don’t talk to her near enough, sorry Janita.

4. Have you visited him/her in the past, or are you going to visit him/her?
I haven’t been outside the U.S. and it doesn’t look like I’ll be doing any traveling soon.

5. Could you imagine to live in this country?
From the descriptions people have given me, I guess I could do well and live comfortably in these countries… but it would have to be in a city.

1. With what are you writing, if you aren´t using your computer?
Pencil on paper, I usually don’t get away from my computer when I’m writing so I don’t have a lot of non-computer writing.

2. What do you like more – roller pen, ball pen or fountain pen?
I like the ball point pen, but I love to use calligraphy pens as it gives you a chance to be creative in your writing.

3. With what did you write at school?
Usually a mechanical pencil as it saves on buy pencils and I can always just reload the mechanical pencil when it runs out of lead.

4. How was your spelling at school – good, or did the teacher had to mark everything red?
I am one of the worst spellers you’d ever meet. I always had to consult (still do) a dictionary and thesaurus (and spell check is a life saver on the computer).

5. What are you writing by hand? Letters, invitations, others?
I usually don’t do much writing by hand, but I try to make letters and invitations by hand instead of typing them out in Word or WordPerfect (I’m still working on using Open Office).
