Anxiety
What is the trait you most deplore in others?

My ample waistline
What or who is the greatest love of your life?
This question is a set up. I mean, what are you supposed to say, especially if you're married? My wife, of course is the love of my life. But, I have loved others. And you know who you are.
Which talent would you most like to have?
I would like to be in a good rock and roll band, play bass, never move my feet and give the audience a blank stare. Kind of like John Entwistle of The Who.
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
Become more organized and, thus, more efficient.
What do you think is your greatest achievement?
Another trick question. If you have children, this is a lay up. Even though I don't consider them an achievement, they provide the most sublime pleasure and agony. To appreciate that is an achievement.

My original Robert Mapplethorpe photograph of William S. Burroughs and Charlie Lucas' first painting
