Well, today is a holiday and I am off of work. I have been off work since Friday as I took an extra day off to have a long 4 day weekend.
When I take these four day weekends 2 things happen. 1. I start to run out of projects to do at home. and 2. By the Monday, I start to bug the hell outta my wife.
Today, I am going to do something a little different here. I mean, sure, I could tell you that I just ate a bacon sandwich, and watched numerous episodes of "Dead Like Me" ...again. But, since it IS a holiday I thought I would answer the questions from the last page of Vanity Fair Magazine.
A little background. Every month Vanity Fair (VF) chooses a star or a mover and shaker type someone we all know or know of, and asks them this set of questions.
Month to month the questions never change, only the people, and I am always surprised and/or amused by the answers that appear. The questions amuse me, too.
So, here goes. Please don't be offended.
