    Have you lived with someone you didn't like?

    I had several college roommates I really didn't like: strange and the last roommate was an animal: alcoholic, hyperactive, selfish, uninhibited, fratboy. I just found out he is very successful as a musician and I'm really surprised. He could really be kind when he put his mind to it. And back...

    Pulled over for no seatbelt

    I know that. I worked at USAF High Speed Test Track where seatbelts originated with Col. Stapp using himself as a guinea pig on top of rocket sleds.

    Which Pink Panther do you like?

    Castle moat scene is funny and when he tries to pull Chief Inspector's tooth after inhaling laughing gas.

    I feel like a loser.

    I'm the loser, really. I've done lots in 60 years and failed at everything. I've been criticized in every job and school. And the healthcare system looks down on me. Can you enjoy yourself? That doesn't come easy to me.

    Pulled over for no seatbelt

    Cop pulled me over in front of my house because I had no seatbelt. He asked me where I was going and I said Right here. He asked me where I was coming back from and I said Food Lion. He asked me if I bought anything and I said Yes. (Bunch of irrelevant questions.) He said he was giving me a...

    What was the last movie you watched?

    I never figured Life of Brian out. But the stoning scene was good and he didn't like being called hook nose, kike, etc.

    Is writing or speaking easier for you?

    I have a much easier time writing than speaking. I have lots of trouble speaking like finding words and losing my train of thought in the middle of sentences. I can't explain it because I was better before being a teen.

    DNA testing

    I had genetic testing. It said my BDNF secretion was poor and norepinephron was low. The stupid practitioner couldn't explain it.

    Do you think in pictures?

    I think in patterns. Playing a musical instrument makes you think in patterns of scales. I have patterns on the guitar memorized.

    How do you feel about the holidays?

    You're expected to be happy and that's too much pressure. I hear Xmas music in strip malls and on the radio and it's too commercialized.

    What was the last thing you cooked?

    Salmon. Wish I could afford some scallops. No fish around here in the stores. And can't find decent Chinese food or pizza in new place I'm in. Pizza is thin as paper.
