1. What was the last stage play you saw?

   I believe it was probably something at Sparky's high school. Which is just plain sad. We need to support local theater better. Maybe season tickets this fall?

2. Which film genres do you like most, and which least?

   I can't watch horror or intense psychological stuff. I love comedies and musicals.

   Why can't the English teach their children how to speak?

   Norwegians learn Norwegian; the Greeks are taught their Greek. 

   In France every Frenchman knows his language from "A" to "Zed"

   The French never care what they do, actually, as long as they pronounce it properly.
