Random Questions by Dad.

1. What time did you go to bed last night and were you alone?
 
I went to bed about 12:30. I fell asleep in the living room after Mom went to bed, and after finishing a couple of late turns on the word game on my I-pod and after doing a crossword puzzle on there too. I'm almost always the last one to hit the sack here.

2. If you could be given ANY gift what would it be? 

Oh I don't know, maybe the gift of knowing that all you kids were financially stable and building beautiful homes, and just really settled for life.

3. What was the last film that really moved/disturbed/thrilled you and why? 

Actually Mom and I don't go to a lot of movies, but I have gone to some with John and Dave, that we walked out of. One was a terrible movie called The Gangs Of New York or something like that. Dave thought it might be real good. He doesn't make good movie choices.

4. What is your favourite TV show of all time ie you've seen them all, can watch it over and over again and quote lines from it? 

Two come to mind, although there are probably several I could Name. I really liked and never missed MASH and All in the Family. I guess I've always been a Star Trek fan too.

5. Whats your favourite way to wake up and whats the first thing you do?

Alive, then roll out of bed and head to the Kitchen for some breakfast.

You don't like Pete or Dad. I don't think I've heard to many names I don't like.

7. If you had to do a bushtucker challenge (you have to eat insects/grubs etc) what would be the worst thing you had to eat? 

This is a crazy question, but I have eaten snails or escargots.

8. Whats the worst/most embarassing CD/Album you've ever owned and do you still have it? 


Vacation in the Sun by the Tijuana Brass. It's actually on cassette tape if anyone remembers them, and yes I still have it. I should play it again one of these days.

  1. Awesome. And I don't think laughing until you cry is a prerequisite for being a fun guy. And is that cassette the one that once melted on the dash in South Dakota? With Spanish Harlem on it? Or is this another fine selection of elevator music? Hee Hee. Thanks Dad, we had fun learning more about you!
