    1. My favorite is caramel coffee, but I like chai tea also.

    2. I would probably go buy a bunch of pumpkin chocolate chip bread from Great Harvest, then I could oggle the cute bread maker/owner.

    3. I get Better homes and Gardens, Parents, field and stream, an offroading mag, Family Fun, and a few other freebies that I can't remember right now.

    4. Dance with Me, by LouAnn Rice. It was pretty good.

    5. I haven't flirted in so long, I've forgotten how. A man called the office yesterday, and he was flirting with me for 20 minutes before I could get him off the phone.

    1. What is your favorite hot beverage??
    -- Toss up between a white chocolate mocha and english breakfast tea with milk and honey

    2. If you had $25 extra, and HAD to buy yourself a special food treat, what would you buy?
    -- I would definitely get my favorites......although I would have to go back to Philly to get them....rasberry mezzarines is what I think they are called. (My entire life my family has always just referred to them as my favorites)

    3. Which magazines do you subscribe to?
    -- Car and Driver, Playboy, Maxim, PC Mag*, Computer Shopper*, ABA Journal, National Geographic and some other law related periodicals. (* are ones that I didnt pay for)

    4. What was the last book you read?
    -- The Tristan Betrayal by Robert Ludlum (I think)....I read really fast and generally finish 600+ page books in 2 days or so. It drives my wife crazy because I generally HAVE to have something to read or I go batty. Problem is as soon as I buy something, I finish it within a day or two. I try to buy multiple books at a time as a result. I also have a problem with putting down a book if its good. Many a sunrise have I seen as I am finishing a book that I couldnt put down. (Now I have a rule that if I am still up at 3am the book has to be put away)

    5. When was the last time you flirted with someone?
    -- Last night....but then again, can you really flirt with someone you are married to?
    Welcome my son, welcome to the machine...Where have you been? It's alright we know where you've been....

    5. When was the last time you flirted with someone?
    Well I don't think I was flirting, but there was this cute swiss woman on my flight from Frankfurt that happened to be coming home to Geneva after being away for a year. It turns out she has been living about a mile from me in Manhattan Beach for the last 4 months. We had a very nice conversation and I helped her with her bags afterward. Then she said goodbye to me the swiss way and hoped I had a nice weekend with my cousins. It kind of made it better since Lufthansa lost my luggage in Frankfurt and didn't get it to me until 11pm tonight.
    I think over again
    My small adventures, my fears.
    The small ones that seemed so big,
    For all the vital things I had to get and to reach.

    And yet there is only one great thing, the only thing:

    To live to see the great day that dawns,
    And the light that fills the world.
