I've fallen way behind on these!

Company's coming to stay with you. Do you have a guest bedroom to put someone up in, or are they sleeping on your couch?

Somewhere, buried underneath all the crap currently in the room, there is not only a bed but a futon in our guest room. It's a disaster; if company really is on the way, I'll be needing a couple of hours to excavate (i.e. hide stuff somewhere else!).

Who's the most famous person you have ever spoken with?

Stephen Tobolowsky. He was in a movie that was filmed in the area and he returned for a visit (long, long, LONG story) and came to the library for a program. Nice guy.
I may have met some other famous people, but they weren't impressive to me at the time (i.e., I was too young and silly to be impressed). And, in any case, I would be unlikely to stand in line to meet "someone famous" in any case. I think that's just weird.

In high school, the kids voted you "Most Likely" to do what?

I never hit the radar screens enough for anything like this to happen, so I'll have to make stuff up here. Either "Most Likely to Disappear Without a Trace" or "Most Likely to Never Be Seen (or at least recognized) At a Reunion." And, like most of these, they'd've been wrong, for the most part.

If you could, would you be a taxi driver for a day? In what city?

I'm not sure I'd want to drive, but I'd love to be a silent, invisible passenger in a cab in Moscow. Or maybe Cairo. It would help to be fluent in the local language, though, so let's stick with...uhm...New York. I might have someone to report in the "someone famous" question above, then! :-)

What's the strangest thing that has happened to you lately?

I tend to attract strangeness so this is a little difficult. Uhm, let's see....having a very cute, very half-my-age-or-less waiter flirt with me at Applebee's yesterday in front of my husband and son was a little disconcerting.
It's either that or having all of the ATMs in the area that belong to my bank (i.e., that are free) nonfuctional today. All of them. Or at least all that I tried.
