[Longhorn_Platinum]

:moo: I'm pleased to report that the Texas panhandle is finally getting the rain that it needed to stop all of those grass fires. I'm not pleased to report that "spring" break is over, & I have to go back to work. Oh well, it's just as well that we get started on the remainder of the school year, so we can get on to summer vacation.

1. What is your favorite Beach Boys song?
To me their stuff is kind of dated. I like it though, but don't have one favorite song over another. But how about California Dreamin'? I liked their version of it, almost as much as the original by the Mamas and the Papas.

Nothing different than any other day. I'm Italian. I wasn't even sure which day it was.
3. What do you usually listen to in the car?
Nothing. My stereo was stolen in the early 1990s and I never replaced it.
4. What was the last ferry you rode on?
I believe I rode the Cape May/Lewes Ferry (Jersey to Delaware) once back in the mid or late 70s.
5. Describe a dream that you've had a lot.
In the last one I had that I can remember now I was yelling at someone who owes me a lot of money. I was really ripping into him, till I woke up.
6. How much can you curl?
Beats me. Haven't tried in probably 25 years.
7. What was you first DVD?
The first one I bought myself, on purpose- that was Clint Eastwood's spaghetti western trilogy. After that I got the The Good, The Bad and The Ugly special edition DVD.
8. Who was your favorite Peanuts character?
never had one.
9. What is your favorite place to stop, when travelling?
no place in particular- whatever I find that sounds good at the time I'm ready to stop. Back in the mid and late 70s on family vacations my parents used to stop at Stuckey's and Howard Johnson's.
10. What's your favorite Pointer Sisters Song?
Don't have one. Don't care about them.

Well if you're going to name a CD as your first DVD purchase (?), let me do the same. My first CD was The Moody Blues- Days of Future Passed, with the London Festival Orchestra..., but not the regular CD, I bought the Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab 24 carat gold Ultradisc, Original Master Recording CD. This was before I ever owned a CD player.
In fact, I also bought my first VHS tape long before I owned a VCR. It was The Kentucky Fried Movie. This was in the early 90s. Now I have the special edition DVD of that movie. Very interesting.
