Q. What is your motto or maxim?

A. Still time to figure that out. I'll have it posted on my tombstone.

Q. What’s your best quality?

A. Probably for others to say, but maybe it's that I don't often lose my temper. On the other hand, loss of temper can be a useful tool, as I'm sure we've all seen, and therefore I'm somewhat handicapped.

Q. If you could acquire any talent, what would it be?

A. That's easy - I'd love to be musical. I'd start on dobro, move on to trumpet, also take up drums. I'd writer lots of songs, sing on the street for money, make a happy fool of myself.

Q. Who is your favorite fictional hero?

A. Jack Aubrey

Q. If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you choose to be?

A. Right here - I love Cape Cod.
