Thanks to Lynn L. Alexander for providing the prompt.

  1. Have you ever been told you look like a famous person? Who?

I have been not only been told but mistaken several times for John Malkovich. It has happened enough times that it does not seem to be a coincidence. Maybe he’s looking for a stunt double?

2. What is your favorite flower?

This is a difficult one as my mother’s name was Rose and she loved roses and my wife loves lilacs. I think if forced to choose my own, it’s the beauty of cherry blossoms in the spring.

3. What color ink do you prefer in a pen?

Purple is my answer. It’s my favorite color. If the choice is between black and blue, always black.

4. Do you always wear the same color or do you mix it up?

I like to mix it up but only with the approval of my wife. She has the final say if the colors I picked out for the day match and are compatible.

5. What have you done that you will never ever do again?
