1. What is the best book you have ever read? Why did you like it?
My reigning champ is still The Time Traveler's Wife. I loved how it was told in a non-linear fashion, and the characters were very rich and real.

2. What is your favorite kind of weather? Why?
Days where the low is in the 50s and the high is in the 70s, with sun and some clouds. To me, that's just perfect weather. Too bad it only happens in Michigan for about four days, lol.

3. If you had $100,000, how would you spend it?
Pay off my bills, then save the rest for various vacations for the rest of my life.

4. Did you ever meet a famous person?
A few different actors - Larry Linville, Harry Anderson (both were on vacation at Walt Disney World at the same time as us), Marilu Henner. And very briefly, President George H.W. Bush.

5. Were you ever in a helicopter, limousine, racecar, hot-air balloon, submarine, horse-drawn carriage?
No, yes, yes, no, yes, yes.

1. What is the best book you have ever read? Why did you like it?

11.22.63 is at the current head of my list. It's a Stephen King novel, ostensibly about the assassination of Kennedy. But, in truth, you are quickly drawn back into what it was like to live in the 50's and 60's, where no one carried a cell phone, food tasted better and the air was worse. I love King. Love. Him.

2. What is your favorite kind of weather? Why?

Hot hot hot and dry. That's why I live in a desert. :D

3. If you had $100,000, how would you spend it?

I wouldn't. Not until I absolutely had to. If I have learned anything being a small business owner, it is that.

4. Did you ever meet a famous person?

Many. Mostly entertainers. By and large, they are good people.

5. Were you ever in a helicopter, limousine, racecar, hot-air balloon, submarine, horse-drawn carriage?
Racecar and horse drawn carriage. :) Wow, that's about as diametrically opposed as you can get, LOL.
