  10. How do you feel about Dr. Pepper?<\/strong>
    It beats dying of thirst.<\/li>\n

    Margie.<\/li>\n
  13. Who was the last person you took a picture with?<\/strong>
    Margie, last night at the Zoo (Jackie took it).<\/li>\n
  14. Was yesterday better than today?<\/strong>
    All told, so far, yes.<\/li>\n
  15. Can you live a day without TV?<\/strong>
    Yes. Actually I do so amazingly frequently.<\/li>\n

  24. Do you hate anyone?<\/strong>
    There are people I dislike a lot. There are people I wish would be hospitalized for a rare but non-life-threatening disease for a few years. There are people who infuriate me. There are people who I wish very long and painful deaths on (or, I suppose, very short and immediate deaths, followed by anticipated summary Judgment). There are people … well, there’s nobody I know <\/em>who I would say I hate.<\/li>\n

    “Where Has Everybody Gone?” by the Pretenders.<\/li>\n

    Um … a Green Lantern ring, telling me I’m hired?<\/li>\n

    Go to church, most likely.<\/li>\n
  32. Do you think too much or too little?<\/strong>
    Probably too much.<\/li>\n
