What was the name of your first pet?
A dog named Peggy. She wasn't well-behaved so my folks took her to the pound. A day later they had regrets, so went back the the pound to get her. Somebody had since claimed her. I was about 7, so I barely remember her.
What is your best serve in tennis?
Sadly, it's my slice down the line in the ad court. I'd like to say that it's my flat 130 MPH serve, but I only get that in about 1/4 of the time.
Do you know all the words to "Oh Canada"?
Hell yes. I've heard that song every morning in grammar school. They slightly changed it recently, so I hear. The real question is, "do you?"
How many computers do you own?
6 or so. I only regularly use 2. As you know, I have them side-by-side.
What provinces and states have you visited?
Every province! I have been all over the American Northeast, as far south as the Florida Keys, as west as CA, and the Northwasst (WA). I guess that's all four corners. I haven't been to Alaska or Hawaii, but I'm working on it. My favorite province was, of course, PEI. My favorite state will always be NY.

Lately about once. That's down from about 4 times per week this past summer. I developed a slight ponch that is driving me crazy.
What was the best personal aspect of being in military service?
Discipline! When I would come home from a tour, I'd iron my underwear and align my shoes after I took them off. I never left any clothes on the floor. I did my calisthenics every day. I woke early and went to bed at a decent hour. I miss the discipline. I'm a bit of a slacker lately.

You know as well as I do that I can only cook 2 things: Polenta and Spaghetti.
Why do you never sleep in your bed?
Hah! I plead the 5th.
