Friday's Feast

Appetizer: On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being highest) how much do enjoy watching sports on television?

It depends a LOT on the sport and the specific event. I have fond memories of watching the Chicago Cubs on WGN-TV (8), so that's something I can do anytime they're on and enjoy. Football, I like the playoffs (7) (or the Super Bowl - 6), and I like college ball (8) more than the Pros. Basketball -- I love those San Antonio Spurs anytime (8).

Soup: If you could completely memorize any one work of fiction, which one would you pick?

Fiction? Shakespeare's Hamlet. I memorized the soliloquy in high School. It's so beautiful and deep and depressing. I'm currently actually trying to memorize the books of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd John from the Bible. It has more practical application for my life.

Salad: What is your favorite breakfast food?

Certainly not Salad; that's for sure. Does day-old cold pizza with ketchup count? No? Then probably cold Coco Crispies cereal with milk; with Toast and Jelly coming in a close second.

Main Course: Name something fun you can do for less than $10.00.

Buy a beer and watch the tourists go by on the Riverwalk. Ride the mini-locomotive at the San Antonio Zoo. Re-read a book I've already read. Watch a movie matinee. Memorize some Bible passages. Take a walk and watch the sunset. Pray.

Dessert: How long does it usually take you to fall asleep?

The one skill I learned in the Army and still use. If I'm not asleep in ten minutes, that's a LONG time for me. Once my head hits that pillow, I imagine I can feel the gentle roll of the earth beneath me towards the west and that's pretty much it -- out we go.
