Shameless! Sorry for taking so long to reply...
If you were recuperating in a hospital, who would you want in the bed next to you, excluding relatives?
Hmm. I certainly wouldn't wish anyone ill, but... the entire playing list of the Hawthorn Football Club. I could just watch...
What has given you the most pleasure in the last year?
Travelling to the States where I visited old friends, met some wonderful new ones and was reminded of childhood memories of visits past.
What's something that we would be surprised to learn about you?
I hold a Bronze Medallion from the Royal Surf Lifesaving Society of Australia... No, no, it's for taking a test, not for saving anyone.
If your house were on fire, what would you grab on the way out? The usual photos, family Bible that includes my latte father's handwriting and a Playbill signed by Angela Lansbury.
If we asked an important person in your life to describe you, what would he or she say? How accurate would it be?
Oh gosh. They would probably say that I was polite and of a sunny disposition. It is all a facade.
What’s something that you’ve never done, but have always wanted to try?
Hiking in the Swiss Alps.
What’s the last great gift that you gave someone? And, that you were given?
My Mother is an Akira Kurasawa freak. She has been desperate to find the film 'Drunken Angel.' After years of trying, failing and nearly giving up, they finally released the film on DVD. So, I guess surprising my Mom with that film was the last present I gave.
I love new York. The last great gift someone gave me was the 'Complete New Yorker' for my computer. That will keep me out of mischief for quite some time.
