If you had a freeway billboard, what would it say?
This way to Al Iota’s. Best pancakes in town. (James Beard Foundation Al’s Breakfast.)

Fly your freak flag
If you started a sports team, what would the colors and mascot be?
Which sport?
The colors, whatever game we play would have to be purple and brown. The mascot should be either a lynx or a giraffe. Granted, a purple and brown giraffe is one big strange animal.
It’s out of my league, I am sure.
BTW I learned today that a giraffe has very few vertebrae as it needs depth and thickness to keep that long neck upright.
Happiness
When are you most happy?
When I am with this guy, my guy, I find it easy to feel happiness.
Grace
What is something others do that sparks your admiration?
Grace under pressure is a remarkable quality.
Dancers practice this as a matter of course. It is the baseline for their art.
I am in awe!
Not a cartoon
What’s your favorite cartoon?
Dec 12, 1975, was the best Johnny Carson episode I ever saw.
Johnny Carson and Carol Wayne presented one of Johnny’s shyster impersonations that was spot-on.
Bob Hope did sketches featuring a very funny Angie Dickinson in outtakes from the special he was promoting.
Dean Martin was cartoonishly drunk.
Charles Nelson Reilly, as usual, all but came out, and I am sure the NBC sensors would not have liked that.
Once Martin left the stage, CNR did honor him by talking about what a generous actor Dean Martin was.
Here is a link to a YouTube of the segment.
Best foot forward
What’s the first impression you want to give people?
An appearance of friendly intelligence is the impression I want to foster.
My sense of self is underlined when I can highlight my sense of humor.
Just a tad never too much
Holy mackeral
Invent a holiday! Explain how and why everyone should celebrate.
We invent holidays for the sheer commerce of it. National Pizza Day or maybe International Coffee ☕️ Day are tailored to our eating the one and drinking the other.
My friend S introduced me to the delights of Chai, so if it has not yet been honored, let’s raise our glass to it.
“Chai to you. Chai to me.”
Playing favorites
Describe a family member.
I had a cousin who was glamorous and witty.
She had a special place in my heart.
I will always think of her and miss her deeply.
Can’t cook?
What food would you say is your specialty?
Living in New York City, we are exposed to such great variety of the edible and delectable.
Different cultures have merged into a melted pot of flavors. Many of them are surprising. Lots of them prove tantalizing.
An inability to produce a decent meal on my part is saved by the phone. “Hi, I am calling for a delivery please.”
Type A
Do lazy days make you feel rested or unproductive?
Restless, more likely. I guess I am inclined to be a doer, goer, mover type.
