If your house were on fire, heaven forbid, what's the one item contained within that you would try to take with you? (People, pets and computers not included.)
I'm not emotionally attached to very many things but I'd probably grab my guitar. It's a Gibson Southern Jumbo circa 1970 that I've had for about 35 years. I don't play it much and when I do, I play it badly, but I'd still like to hang onto it.
What's the one clothing/fashion item you can't live without?
I do have a lot of golf shirts and I'm partial to spiked shoes.
What's your favourite knick-knack and why?
A hand-carved miniature totem pole my father bought in Banff during the war. It was one of his prized possessions and he passed it on to me. It's a beautiful piece of art and a connection to my father.
What's the oldest thing you own?
A gun cabinet that belonged to my great-great-grandfather. I don't own any guns but it stores books and pictures we don't have any room on the walls to hang. Actually, I don't like it much and I'd like to get rid of the damn thing.
Describe your most beloved piece of furniture.
It sure ain't the gun cabinet. It's probably my bed, since I get to sleep on it.
Is there an edible item we'll always find in your pantry or fridge?
Always lots of fruit and salad fixings.
