Response to the challenge ...

Recently my daughter-in-law issued a challenge to her relatives to answer a series of questions, her challenge was specifically to those who only post every couple of weeks. Since I post a few times a week I realize her challenge wasn't meant for me, but I feel compelled to respond because, well, because it was a challenge and I am a guy. Nuff said.
