Well, it's Sunday and I have nothing for you, unless you all want to hear about how I met up with some of my soccer teammates to watch the Vikings play. No? Don't say I didn't give you a chance. Instead you get the ubiquitous "Things About Me" list which I saw at Steve's sight several days ago.
1. What is your occupation? I’m retired, but I raise kids for a hobby.
2. What color is your underwear? The pair I have on? Lesssee…blue.
3. What are you listening to now? Tom and Jerry cartoons on the television.
4. What was the last thing you ate? Turkey sandwich with provolone cheese.
5. Do you wish on stars? No.
6. If you were a crayon, what color would you be? Burnt Sienna or one of those other nasty colors no one uses because they still look good when all the other crayons are peeled, broken stubs of their former selves.
7. How is the weather right now? Windy and very mild for November.
8. Last person you spoke to on the phone? The VP.
9. Do you like the person who sent this to you? I copied it from Steve’s site.
10. How old are you today? Old enough to excuse my having to answer that.
11. Favorite drink? Hard cider.
12. Favorite sport to watch? NASCAR or figure skating. Both are boring as hell except for the occasional wipe-out.
13. Have you ever dyed your hair? Yep.
14. Do you wear contacts or glasses? Contacts.
15. Pets? One dog.
16. Favorite month? October
17. Favorite food? Just about anything doused in Thai peanut sauce. Chocolate is good too.
18. What was the last movie you watched? My Man Godfrey on TV. I can’t remember the last time I saw a movie in a theatre. I think that might have been Piglet’s Big Movie.
19. Favorite day of the year? The day after Thanksgiving. Great leftovers, The VP doesn’t have to work, and I put up the Christmas tree.
20. What do you do to vent anger? Clean the house.
21. What was your favorite toy as a child? Chatty Cathy doll. Mother, no comments please.
22. Fall or Spring? Fall.
23. Hugs or kisses? Hugs.
24. Cherry or Blueberry? Cherry. Blueberries are fantastic, but blueberry-flavored anything is vile.
25. Do you want your friends to email you back? I’m not sending this on to anyone.
26. Who is most likely to respond? NA
27. Who is least likely to respond? NA
28. Living arrangements? House.

32. What did you do last night? Laundry.
34. What inspires you? Beautiful fall days, really nasty roadkills.
35. What are you afraid of? Hillary ’08.
36. Plain, cheese or spicy hamburgers? Cheeseburger, if it’s real cheese. None of this Kraft singles crap.
37. Favorite car? I still choke up when I think of my ’92 Mazda Protégé. I loved that car.
38. Favorite dog breed? Rottweiler.
39. Number of keys on your key ring? Six.

No real mention of either soccer or Karl Rove?? Everything okay at the Outpost??
