1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? My father named me after a rich man's airplane. He worked at Love Field in Dallas and some rich guy had a Lear Jet named the Lisa, so Lisa I was. My Mom wanted to name me Dawn Renee. Oh, the horror....

2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? a few days ago, when bemoaning my lack of luck in job hunting. I was feeling the Sword of Damocles a little too close that evening....

4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? turkey breast or salami, salami, baloney

5. DO YOU HAVE KIDS? NO. NO!!!

8. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? Yes

9. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP? No, and I don't drink my own urine either, which would be equally stupid.

16. WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF? I don't like myself very much. I wish I did. Maybe my life would have been easier if I had.

17. WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST? My mother, by far. After over 5 years, I still catch myself thinking "I should call Mom and tell her....". I also miss my grandmother Rosemary terribly.

18. WHAT COLOR PANTS AND SHOES ARE YOU WEARING? grey sweats and a blue t-shirt. Who are you, the fashion police?

37. ROLLING STONES OR BEATLES? The Beatles.

38. WHAT IS THE FARTHEST YOU HAVE BEEN FROM HOME? Salisbury, Maine. Got lost on the way home to my aunt's house in Salem, New Hampshire from Logan Airport in Boston. Up there, you can cross the street and be in another state.

39. DO YOU HAVE A SPECIAL TALENT? I have several, but none I'll write about here.....

40. WHERE WERE YOU BORN? in a hospital which is no longer there in Greenville, Texas. It was an old folks activity center for a long time in the 70s and the delivery room where I first saw the light of early evening was then a men's restroom. I figured they should have put a plaque in my honor over a urinal or something. They razed the building to the ground instead.

41. WHAT SUPERPOWER WOULD YOU LIKE? The ability to not have to work for a living, yet STILL HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO LIVE ON! Imagine that!
