My friend Scott sent me an e-mail once, saying I should write a blog topic based on an idea from one of my blog readers. I agreed it was a good idea and put him on the spot. I asked him what he wanted me to write about and he said he would send me 20 questions upon which to base a blog.

 So here's the list of questions Scott sent me along with my answers. Here we go!

 1.Do you have any siblings?  Yes.
