will_couvillier asks:
1. What do you think of SETI?
I'm all for listening to the heavens in search of someone else out there. I do worry that one day they're going to show up, kick our asses, and use us for slave labor, but...
2. When did you last visit Louisiana?
In 1996 or 1997, I can't remember the exact year. My wife was still in college at the University of Oklahoma, and we went with a group to study voodoo in New Orleans, sponsored by the Presbyterian Church through the University's United Ministry Center. The Reverend Becky Hebert ran the center and was a Louisiana native. We stayed for a week in a hostel, and had a great time exploring New Orleans.
I'll never forget the look on people's faces when we stopped at this little roadside greasy spoon and a catfish head floated up from someone's bowl of gumbo. The Reverend Hebert looked at it and said to the person, "That's the difference between city gumbo and good gumbo, you know."
3. Flourescent or incandescent, and why?
You know, I can't really tell any difference because of my lousy photoreceptors. I'm going to make the switch to fluorescent because they are more cost effective.
4. What did you do with your childhood baseball card collection?
Sigh. I sold it at a yard sale. I had a '56 Mantle, Bench and Ryan rookie cards. If I'd held on for a few more years...
Shrug. Such is life, and those cards brought me a lot of joy as a kid.
5. What's your favorite herb?
I loves me some oregano!
6. How would you feel about autographs through the mail?
Dude, if someone wants my autograph, and they're willing to pay for the postage both directions, I'll happily sign!
7. Who would you most like to be the boss of for a day?
All of you. My first order as boss of you all would be: "Everyone take the day off, with pay."
