When you were a youngster, what did you want to be when you grew up? The Bionic Woman or an archaeologist.
People don’t know that you … Are an avid science fiction fan -- I can’t get enough Star Trek: The Next Generation!

What was the first “album” you ever bought, and was it an LP, 8-track or CD? Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” cassette tape.
If you could pick an actor/actress to play you in a movie, who would you pick and why? Kathy Najimy – she’s a great actress and she has some junk in the trunk. Let’s face it, no scrawny actress is going to play me, and I’m cool with that!
What is one random fact about you? I think the answer to the world’s problem’s may be found between the pages of any Calvin and Hobbes publication by Bill Watterson – much wisdom may be found there.

What is your pet peeve? People who do not return their grocery carts to the return bins. That’s just lazy!
