Another Questionnaire

Blame on Cat this time.

1. Do you sleep with your closet doors open or closed?

My closet doors are always closed. I delude myself into thinking that helps keep the dust off my clothes.

Yes, starting with our honeymoon 21 years ago.

4. Have you ever stolen a street sign before?

No.
