Sunday Stealing: The 88 Meme, Part Two
23. Why do you think so many people cheat? If were talking fidelity here, and why not, I think too many people get married so young that they haven’t had all their “wild oats” sowed. I think that the older that you are, the more that you can fully commit. Or, people get drunk & take their close off. Go figure.24. Tell me what’s on your mind? Kathy has pushed me with a couple of personal projects. One was to start the book on The Beatles. I have started it, but it’s a big undertaking. The second is transferring WTIT tapes to digital. There are probably 1000 tapes, although the actual tape number we recently completed Tape 572, over the years the length of the tapes have changed. In our first year we used some super long reel-to-reel tape that could last 6 hours a side. By 1968, we used a faster reel-to-real setting and the tapes were 90 minutes per side. In 1985 we went improve the technology of our recording studio. The tape of choice would be cassettes that lasted 90 minutes, total. By 2000, we had a completely digital studio using the top of the line Sony Vaio desktop computer, beginning at The Penthouse Studio. When the Vaio died we scrambled. The Vaio costs twice as much as a normal computer. So we went first with an HP, and now a Lenovo. In addition, we currently use a digital board that records on a 6 hour flash drive. We try to keep each session to 90 minutes for consistency sake. We can edit on the computer while recording on the flashdrive.
25. What are you looking forward to in the next three months? I’m getting married next month. Kathy just painted the inside of our garage. Before you try to figure it all out, someone before us started to convert it to a room. It has a refrigerator & cabinet’s. The ceiling was 90% complete with a texture finish. Kathy painted the floor, walls and the rest of the ceiling with an off white and sparkles. With a big tent in the driveway, it will be our dining hall. She’s out painting our deck, now. And before you ask me why I’m not helping, I’ve had 9 spinal surgeries. So, along with financing it all, I’m a huge cheerleader. I have two best men, Harvey Wallbanger & Johnnie Walker. Rock Rolling is my groomsman. Johnnie asked what I wanted for a stag. I told him to organize a big recording night for WTIT. He told me that he knew I’d say that.
26. Have you ever worn the opposite sex’s clothing? Not since I was a little kid. Not that there’s anything wrong with that…
27. When did you last talk to your BFF? I’ve got several. Kathy, first and foremost said “goodbye” as she headed out to shop. Johnnie called me on Thursday to explain why we need to cancel that WTIT recording session. Harvey and I talk every couple of weeks. At last word, he’s fine.
28. When is your next road trip? That will be the honeymoon next month.
29. Do you have someone of the opposite sex you can tell anything to? I don’t think you can tell “everything” to anybody. Go for the Mass has ended, Grab a brochure and leave money on your way out.
30. How’s your heart? Pure and innocent. Well, pure anyway.
31. Have you ever felt like you weren’t important? If you’ve ever ended a relationship, or had one ended on you, you can get that feeling. I’ve generally poured a Smirnoff on the rocks, and then met someone else.
32. Do you think somebody’s secretly in love with you? No.
33. What are you planning on doing after this? I will check out my blog bud’s responses.
34. Last time you yelled at someone? Kathy’s had trouble hearing, so I’ve had to yell occasionally.
35. Have you told anybody you loved them today? The aforementioned Kathy.
36. Who do you not get along with? No one that I will out on the Internet.

37. What does your most recent text say? I’ll look. It says, “What was the name of the newscaster that you were going to go out with? I’m with Ann Baldwin and some other radio personalities.” It was from my sister. The answer to her question was a woman who was separated and a huge local Hartford news anchor. We did a lot of talking and a lot of arranging, but it never happened. Her loss, is what I thought at the time.
38. What are you wearing right now? A Let It Be tee and jean shorts.
