Peg, I find reading your 100 questions list warm and comfortable; I feel I know you a bit better in a very positive sense, even though only a few of the questions are really personal. I wanted to mention the one on your list that I am actually quite proud of: Prank calls. A woman friend of mine were lazing around my apartment that I shared with several roommates, during and after college. I had a record the flip side of which was just electronically produced beeps: Beep, Beep, Beep, for 6 minutes and 3 seconds. This woman friend had a very rich and professional sounding speaking voice. We agreed that we would call a bunch of my friends, with the beeping in the background, and she would say: "This is a recording. We're sorry, but the number calling you is not in service. Please hang up and wait to be dialed again." So we did this, and apparently made at least a few people laugh. These days, with caller ID so ubiquitous, I probably wouldn't do it, but at the time, it was so innocent and harmless we had no regrets whatever -- and I still don't.
