Yes - I was in the US military, operating in the fringe of a Central American country, when I took off for the capital city. Senior, in-country, US conventional military commanders became highly perturbed and were talking courts martial. Fortunately, I had country-wide temporary duty orders; so, I wasn't under their jurisdiction. Later back stateside, I explained to my actual boss [spec. ops.] that I had designated my replacement for that day and took off to celebrate the occasion of my 30th birthday! The boss smiled, said that he didn't like those particular in-country commanders anyway, and blew the whole thing off!! I owe it all to Ferris!!!


Have you ever had a close call?

Yes. Shortly after I got my driver's license, I was weaving in and out of traffic. All proud of my skill. As I approached a red light, I swerved over to a lane that had fewer cars in it. The car in front of me was slowing down more abruptly than I anticipated, and when I swerved to another lane, I came within an inch or two of clipping it's rear at a pretty high speed. I immediately realized that I was acting like an idiot, and I stopped driving like I owned the road. Now I'm a safe driver.

Have you ever mutilated or otherwise destroyed a book?

Do you save magazines after you read them?

No. I like Salmon, Tuna, Haddock, Halibut, etc...but no crustaceans!
Do you think it's impossible that I was a mermaid in my past life?
