My Five Questions

The fabulous Lily asked me five questions.

1. Why don’t you like to camp? Yes… I’m asking.

I think it goes back to when I was a kid. I only went camping a few times, but one of them almost ended in disaster. I was camping with my Aunt and her family and the weather was bad one night. We were all sleeping in the RV, instead of tents, and they had a gas heater on. The flame went out and the RV filled with gas. If one of the adults hadn’t woken up, we never would have. I never enjoyed it as much after that. Besides, I don’t like sleeping in a tent on the ground, using a common bathroom or the woods, or bathing in a stream. I do enjoy good cooked meals over the fire though. Maybe there is hope for me yet.

2. Hit shuffle on your iPod and tell me the first 5 songs that come on…

I have 678 songs on my iPod right now, but here goes.
1. Van Morrison – Someone Like You
2. Santana – Put Your Lights On
3. Michael Bublé – Fever
4. Matchbox Twenty – Push
5. The Cure – Friday I’m in Love

3. If you won 1 million dollars… who would you call first and what would you say?

I would call my son, Nick and let him know we were going to have a lot of fun in Europe later this year and we aren’t coming back for a long time. And that he can now pick any school he wants to finish his college education.

4. 250 rounds of golf in one year? Did you do anything else? Eat? Sleep? Tell me about it…

Believe it or not, I worked a regular job. I was lucky that my ex did not mind me playing on the weekends, well maybe she did and that is why she is my ex. I had friends who worked in the golf industry and they would call up and ask if I wanted to go play this country club or that golf course at 1 PM…how could I say no. My game was very good then and I thought I might get to play in the US Amateur or US Mid-Am. I almost made both one year. Still a dream I would like to come true, but I don’t have time to play enough to get that good anymore.

5. Lame trivia question: who is the only actor to be credited in all 5 Star Trek series?

Actually, this is a really good trivia question. Majel Barrett is the only actor to have been involved with all five of the television series. Most people don’t know that she was the wife of the Star Trek creator, Gene Roddenberry. She played Nurse Chapel in the original, but is probably better known for her roles as Lwaxana Troi (Deanna’s mother) in The Next Generation. One other piece of information, she is also the voice of the computer in most of the series. Wow, I know way to much about this series...damn you dad.
