INTERVIEW BY MICHELLE

1. You and Bill have a choice to travel within the USA or overseas for 3 months. What do you choose, where would you go to and why?

whoa. we just talked about this yesterday. my list goes like this (in order of preference):

ireland
italy
france
new zealand, africa (s. a., of course would be in there), china

whoops. i just noticed that you included the usa in there. that probably would be a good idea. southern utah is awesome. i’d like to see the grand canyon. i’d like to spend some time in new york again, chicago, new orleans, just check out some of these big cities.

as far as that overseas list goes, bill always assumed italy and ireland were at the top of my list because of my ancestry. i never thought about that. weird. he’s probably right. but i’d like to spend at least a month in each of them. doesn’t leave much time for the rest.

2. You have a weekend totally to yourself. How would you spend it?

another weird one cuz i didn’t have a whole weekend, but yesterday was the first day i was really all by myself for the longest time. jax was “around,” but not around. bill went to terre haute. for probably 20 years, if bill was away, i had children to care for. if the boys were away, bill was around. it was very strange.

i went shopping (woohoo!), did a little bit of cleaning up around the house, and read. i talked to some friends and my sisters. this is probably what i would do again. that or else try to get “while you were out” or “ground force” here.

3. What music do you enjoy listening to?

duh. i have a 6-cd changer in my beetle, and it’s ALL who / pete townshend stuff. i do like a lot of other stuff, too. maybe a mix cd with a lot of stuff:
who / p.t.
geo. harrison (while my guitar gently weeps, my sweet lord)
santana (smooth and others)
ella fitzgerald (lots of her stuff)
the critters (mr. dyingly sad)
the clash (rock the casbah – teehee)
marvin gaye (let’s get it on, mercy mercy me)
sinead o’connor and van morrison’s david letterman show version of “have i told you lately that i love you
various talking heads stuff
janis ian (seventeen)
guess who (american woman, she’s come undone)
jane olivor (let’s make some memories, stay the night)
joe cocker (you are so beautiful to me)
bob dylan (my back pages, all along the watchtower)
michael feinstein (puttin’ on the ritz)
and the kinks (lola)
weird playlist. i’m 49, k?

4. You have the opportunity of changing your appearance through plastic surgery. Would you do it and if so, what would you change?

yes. lots of stuff. start with the neck. i’m not telling what else, you’ll think i’m all natural then.


5. Financially you have the chance to change the direction of your job and your life. What would you decide to do?

i’d like to work bill’s “office / administrative” stuff again. get his bills out, coordinate the calendar, stuff like that. i'd like us to work at our other stuff for a little while more (a couple years), then scale back his practice, half work the prctice and half retire.
