Which television shows do you just refuse to miss?

I won’t go so far as to say that I “refuse” to miss them, but I really enjoy “Gilmore Girls,” “My Name Is Earl” and “The Office.” I started watching “30 Rock” recently, too, and it’s been consistently funny. I’m looking forward to the return of “Lost,” even though I’m not holding out much hope that it’s going to get better.

Who did you last speak to on the telephone?

My mother-in-law, Genia. She called last night to tell me that Pictsweet had responded to a letter we wrote about the declining quality of the tiny green peas. (My father-in-law is very serious about his tiny green peas.) Pictsweet sent them four coupons for free vegetables! In my eyes, they’ve redeemed themselves.

How many pillows do you keep on your bed?

Four. Two for me, two for Rockford.

Name one addition to your computer (software, hardware, etc.) that you’d love to have.

I’d love to have a printer that consistently works.

What is your favorite foreign food?

I had some fantastic crab wontons last night. And Kung Pao Scallops. And tomorrow night we’re having bean nachoes, which is another of my favorites.
