Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes. It was a good one. Didn't really need anything in the way of presents, but a certain groovy someone sent me a bag of jellybeans and a vinyl Sesame Orange Oscar. Never knew such a creature existed. Yes, NASA confirmed the candles on my cake were visible...

Any favorite way to relax? Take a walk, take a bubble bath, meditate, what brings your inner tranquility?

The internet is a world of trolls who say nasty things? Say it ain't so! You did say that over the last few months you saw some progress. That's moving in some direction. That's better than being stuck where you were. It's hard sometimes, but you have to expect good things to happen to you. If...

Only if I'm the only one (besides Katzi428) who misses when new SST seasons started in November.

Had to get a physical to stay on my wife's insurance, but all the results came back good. Blood pressure, cholesterol, fantastic. My A1C came down (important for diabetics), lost 40 pounds over the last six months, the doctor was all smiles. My birthday will begin in about 8 hours, so it's...

Is there champagne in the Champagne Room?

No better reason to move up north.

Then just remember, people that don't like you won't wish you a happy birthday either. What goes around comes around.

Who do you miss more, Hubert or Ziffel?

Yes, in New York, pizza is huge. Ground Zero for pizza is Lombardi's in Little Italy, in business since 1905. I've been there, but you can't order slices, you have to order a whole pie. There's also an excellent place called Ray's. Then the owner opened another place called Famous Ray's, then...

At one point, it seemed you, Sarge, and Drtooth were neck-and-neck for most posts. What was at stake? Bragging rights?

Even though I play a bunch of instruments, I've never been able to write a decent song. It is a tremendous gift, but not everybody has it. So instead, I get to be a hired gun for those who can write songs. One classmate of mine wrote and released two CD's, but called on me when he hit the road...

Chicago Fire. I'm never really home to sit down and be a couch potato, so no big must-sees.

Recorded a number of my live gigs over the years. One band I was in in college, we taped our first gig. We were out of tune and a little sloppy, but the crowd was so drunk they didn't know or care. They kept screaming and cheering, we could've been Aerosmith for all they knew. Recorded a few...

Can't say I have one. Mysteries, murders, romance novels, that's my wife's department, and she's into Danielle Steele. When my dad was alive he was into Tom Clancy. Give him à spy novel and his three packs of Camels and he was happy.

Are you so broke you can't even pay attention?

Have you ever waltzed with Matilda? Or tied me kangaroo down, Sport?

How about I meet you halfway in Virginia?

Played in bands since I was 15. Played drums, guitar, keyboards, sang, but bass is my main axe.

After my 1999 botched suicide attempt. Met a pastor at a new church, he showed me how Jesus died for my sins, how I was saved by His grace, and finally began to understand how much He loved me. And my life changed at that moment. 17 years later, still learning, still growing, still here.
