Survey Says . . .

Here's my responses to a quick snapshot survey:

Things in my room:
1. Bed (mmm, sleep)
2. Two computers (one of them a laptop)
3. Reading station with black leather chair, lamp, table piled with stuff to read
4. Wife (a pretty one)
5. Kids' toys and shoes scattered on the floor
6. TV with Netflix movies sitting on top, waiting to be viewed
7. Desk, dressers, baskets of laundry awaiting putting away

Things I say most:
1. When my ship comes in, it probably won't be on Utah Lake
2. Well, this has been a real treat (when I'm ready for a meeting to end)
3. I'm flattered and even a little curious, but I think I'll pass
4. Honey, did you turn on the alarm? (at bedtime)
5. OK, I guess I can do that (to ex-wife)

Things I want to do before I die:
1. Publish a novel
