• By noon I'm usually: hearing about a new project I have to do.
  
• Last night: I had kippers for dinner. Yum!
  
• If only I had: about six extra hours in a day, I'd finally finish the great American novel.
  
• Next time I go to church: will be Sunday (boring, I know).
  
• When I turn my head left: I see the rocking chair my mom and dad rocked me to sleep in.
