104. If you could have 3 wishes...but none of them could be for yourself, what would you wish for?

I read more often, though when I have cable I sometimes read with the TV on.

Not yet.

116. Have you ever won a contest or competition?

I LOVE Joy of Painting! If I had lots of money I'd get the ridiculously expensive DVD set of all his shows.

118. Do you know what your grandparents and your great grand parents did for a living?

I'd like to see Black Swan in the theater if the renovations at Watertown's only movie theater are done in time, and I want to see the sixth and seventh-part-one Harry Potter movies, which I'm hoping will be available via XBOX Live because I don't want to buy any of the HP movies until there's a box set for the entire series.

150. What is your quest?

I seek the Grail. Duh!
