I DON'T KNOW. I BETTER GET ON IT.

I OWE MY SUPER A BOTTLE OF SCOTCH.

If so, your plans are made for you!

Well, I know I'm too pooped to party after all that walkin'... maybe y'all have the energy to do mom & dad stuff. I just want to go home!

1. Do you read other people's answers in random question threads?

Time permitting, yes. I often have the time.

2. Do you have any phobia's?
Open spaces, being alone, insects, abandonment, people, any Woody Allen movie made after "Annie Hall", eggs.

3. What's the most serious problem you have gotten over?
Debt. (Though it's not always getting over; it's a lifetime issue. Each day at a time.)

4. Do you ever go looking for long-lost friends on the internet? Any good stories?
Yes. But no. These days it's more fun to make new friends; the past is the past and I'm more interested in a better future.

No. One has to eat. Especially diabetics.

6. How much can one person do?
Depends on the person and the level of ambient comfort and security.

7. Does chocolate help?
Yes. Especially if they use splenda or cancer-causing aspartame instead of sugar.

8. How do you feel about "the art world?"
It should be THE world. For all to share and purchase. It'd make for a more sound economy... Art is a representation of the soul and each soul is unique. Moreso than a fingerprint. Though, as with all professions, some think that tying two twist-ties together makes a million dollar piece. No, it just makes a piece. It's about the soul. Anything that's textbook is as commonplace as an assembly line.

9. What are your plans for Halloween?
Well, I might whip out my costume from last year but I doubt I'll be going anywhere. Maybe the grocery store to buy some sushi and freak out the cashier by sounding like a Renaissance character...

10. Do you owe anyone anything?
Define 'owe'.
