What have you read or seen over the past year (book, play, film, etc…) that moved or surprised you?

I happened upon the movie “Mud.”  I was really surprised by how much I liked it.  There was something about the light… it made me think of the dreamy quality of being a kid.

What are you listening to right now?

I always listen to lots of Classic Country.  Lately, my favorites are the duets that Conway Twitty + Loretta Lynn did together.

What’s the last great book you read?

I really got sucked into the series called The Last Policeman.  A very highly intelligent friend lent them to me after I confided that I love a good detective novel.  They were great in that I could not put them down!

What’s one thing you’re a fan of that people might not expect?

The movie “Old School.”  I love it and can quote it.  And I love real denim – Levis – no stretch.

What’s your favorite comfort food?

I answered scrambled eggs last time so this time I’ll say “soft scrambled eggs.”
