2. Thursday is my favorite day of the week. It’s all about the Jupiter, baby!
3. I decided when I was twelve that I wanted to be either a musician or an astrologer for a living. I had no idea what astrologers really did or how one went about becoming one, so I devoted myself to music. For about nineteen years, I did a lot of singing… country singing, jazz singing, rock singing, sensitive singer-songwriter singing. And I spent a lot of time onstage. I was still singing in coffee houses as late as 1992, but soon tired of singing duets with cappuccino machines and getting nowhere. By then I had been practicing astrologer for a couple of years and decided that looked like a better career path. So, here I am.
4. My most hated household task: cleaning floors.
5. First presidential candidate I voted for: Jimmy Carter, in his doomed bid for a second term.
6. I suck at group dynamics, unless I’m somehow in charge. If I’m hosting the party, speaking for the astrology group, or have some kind of specific job to do, I have a great time. Otherwise, I have no feel for group interactions.
7. I used to sing at cowboy bars when I was only 13 or 14 years old.
8. I find certain noises intolerable. (I notice this among other people with Gemini or Virgo Moons.) I can’t stand hearing barking dogs, cars with booming bass, gum cracking/popping, or people smacking their lips when they eat. As you can imagine, I’m a pleasure to live with.
9. Despite living in LA for twenty-two years, I had few celebrity encounters, although I was once in a car accident in North Hollywood involving Randolph Mantooth. He behaved like a gentleman; perhaps it was all those seasons on Emergency, but he went right into “is everyone okay” mode. He also effected a daring rescue of my guitar from the trunk of my friend’s Mazda. Many years later, I was singing in a coffeehouse in Temecula and who should walk in, but the Man of Tooth? So apparently I have some kind of weird Mantoothian magnetism.
10. I’m a pretty good cook. I make a homemade chicken pot pie that you would not believe.
11. I was Catholic for about four years. That was sufficient. However, I’d still rather go to Mass than any other kind of church service I’ve run across.
12. I don’t eat a lot of meat, but I’m not a vegetarian. When I got into astrology it seemed like the field was full of middle-aged chainsmokers who ate a lot of junk food; nowdays there seem to be a lot more health-conscious, vegan, rock-climbing, GenX type of astrologers. Typically, I don’t fall into either category.
13. Good for Lance Bass
