Favorite Music I am now very interested in jazz, from 1920 through the 1960s. But when I first started this blog, I wrote: "Don't have any favorite music. It's completely random, what I might like and what I might not like. I think I like the sound of something as I drive by it, or as it drives by me. But I don't want to know what it is." This is no longer true.
Favorite Books Reading "Really the Blues" by Mezz Mezzrow, 1946. Before that a biography of artist Joseph Cornell. Previously I wrote: "Right now I'm reading "The Quaker City, or, The Monks of Monk Hall: A Romance of Philadelphia Life, Mystery, and Crime, " by George Lippard, published in 1845. Very bizarre."

All of the phone numbers have fallen out of your address book. Whose number do you look for first and why?

My sister's. It's an overseas number, and I can't remember it, so must refer to what I've written down. (NOTE added in 2020: This is now an archaic question. No one calls anyone on the phone anymore, let alone carries an "address book." HAHA)
