No, but there are a couple in the house.

Do any of your friends or relatives have an iguana?
 
I had a small one last weekend…smoked and char-grilled, served with potato salad and a cold beer…just kidding!!

Do you have a warped sense of humor?
 
No, not at all, very conventional and boring.

Are you musically talented?
 
Yes, although it’s not that old, about two years. It’s an origami elephant that I made when I was concerned about my pastor, who had unexpectedly had major life-saving surgery and was lying immobile in ICU. Why an elephant? Because Father’s the only person I know whose nativity set includes an elephant. I look for it every year when he puts the nativity out—a major production that takes an entire day to accomplish and takes up one third of a room when complete. So I absentmindedly put my hand on a sheet of origami paper and 25 minutes later I had an elephant. Why do I keep it? It was a turning point in our largely turbulent relationship. It really is true that people say and do a lot of things until their backs are against the wall. His being in that situation forced us both to lay our cards on the table. Since then, we each know where the other truly stands and that has helped matters immensely.

Do you have a birthmark?

No.

Do you have any clocks that need to be wound or the weights pulled up?
 
No, but I have recipe 3-ring binders.

Do you have a coffee cup with a funny/memorable saying on it?
 
Side note: here’s the origami elephant I spoke about a few responses back.

No.

Do you wear clothing that has a picture of an animal?

[Cool origami elephant. It inspired my question.]
 
Yes I have a tee shirt with a beagle on it.
Do you have any tie dye shirts?
 
Not at the moment. I used to buy mine from an old hippie who ran a roadside stand on the highway from the SF Bay Area to Eureka/Arcata (Humboldt Co.), but I haven’t been that way in nearly 20 years. He was a master tie-dyer. The last one of his creations that I bought disintegrated about six years ago.

Do you have a dentist appointment in the coming week?

Do you have ticket stubs from an event you attended long ago?
 
Yeah, I tend to hang on to such things. Some of the my ticket stubs are over 30 years old…good times.

Do you have an RV?

More than one…I can’t remember the last time we used them…

Do you have a pile of things that should go to a church rummage sale?
 
No, I keep that stuff pretty well cleaned up and donated.

Do you have a full recycling bin?
