        What's some unusual talent that you possess?
        Well, I've memorized most of the ZIP codes in the area.  And I tend to remember phone numbers and addresses.  Also, I seem to have sharp eyesight -- I can read things from a pretty good distance -- usually before other people can.  I recently passed by an eye chart in the hospital, and I was able to read the 20/10 line, but just barely.

        When your family built your house, what did you specialize in?
        Electrical wiring.  I didn't know a thing about it before we started, but I had learned a lot from our uncle by the time we were finished.

        Name some creatures that you've been bitten/stung by.  What happened?
        I once got stung by a jellyfish while in the water in Destin, Florida.  I was wearing goggles and following a fish around when I got zapped.  It felt like the buzz that you get when you touch a live electrical wire (see previous answer.)

        I've been stung by bees a few times.  Years ago, Mark and I were on a baseball team, and there was a tree stump that some bees had apparently used as a hive.  The stump was right next to the bench, and Jude made the mistake of sitting on it.  Mark and I each were both stung, and I know Jude got several stings.

        Are you an organized or a disorganized person?
        I sorted my M&Ms by color when I was little.  I don't do that anymore, but I do generally keep things neat.  I often write myself one- or two-word notes.  I find that as long as I have a word or two to remind me of the general task, I don't have any trouble remembering all of the details later.
