I decided to join Suna in posting a Friday Feast. Here is this week’s menu:

Appetizer: How are you today?

Antsy. Frustrated. Excited. Happy.

Soup: Name 3 television shows you watch on a regular basis.

1. The Daily Show
2. The Colbert Report
3. Football

Salad: What’s the scariest weather situation you’ve experienced?

I can’t think of one. When I was a kid, I used to really enjoy hurricanes because we got out of school. I didn’t know to be afraid of them. Actually, I am more afraid today of the things engineers do to protect us from storms than of the storms themselves.

Main Course: If you could wake up tomorrow morning in another country, where would you want to be?

I loved Canada and Panamá, but I would have to say that waking up next to Suna is more important to me than which country we are in.

Dessert: What do you usually wear to sleep?

I’m like an actress whose name I can’t remember. She said, “I used to sleep in the nude…before the earthquake.” No earthquake, but I learned my lesson when a drunk slammed his pickup into the light pole outside my bedroom one night. Fumbling around for clothes before I could go make sure nobody died slowed me down too much. BTW: nobody was even seriously hurt, although the guy whose sister was in the truck was not happy with the driver. Mayhem may have ensued at a later date.
