What one burden in life do you think should be shared equally by everyone?

The care of those portions of society who can't survive without help: the old, the young, the medically-challenged.

What do people like about you?

Oh, it just has to be my suave and charming personality, my fabulously decadent dinner parties, and the generous payola!
Or, it could be my sarcasm, cynicism, and willingness to laugh.

What is the most embarrassing thing your parents ever did to you?

When I was a kid, the mere fact that everyone thought my parents were my grandparents was a permanent embarrassment for me. Nowadays, it's not abnormal for kids to have older parents, but when I was born my mom had almost-totally white hair, and my dad was well on his way too. And they LOOKED like grandparents, in a way that today's 50-year-old-parents-of-an-elementary-schoolchild just...don't.
