HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

FROM YESTERDAY'S LBN NEWSLETTER -" FACESPACE":   1.    Name: John Crowther. 2.    Which living person do you most despise? Not literally "living," but it would be the lady in the IKEA ads who screams with pleasure because she thinks she stiffed the store, when actually it was a sale. 3.    When and where were you the happiest?  When I was little, a fortune-telling machine in an amusement park told me my happiest days would be my last; terrible thing to do to a kid. So I'd have to say I was happiest before I was 12. Ever since then, I've tended to keep happiness at arm's length. 4.    What is your profession? Artist, illustrator, cartoonist, screenwriter. 5.    Which talent would you most like to have? Perfect pitch. In elementary school, the music teacher separated us into "canaries" and "crows". I was a crow; another terrible thing to do to a kid. 6.    If you could be any fictional character, which one would you be and why? Peter Pan, partly because he stays forever young, but also because he can fly without having to keep his license current. 7.    What is your greatest regret? When I was an actor on Broadway in my youth, I never played the Booth Theatre. I love that little theatre! 8.    What are your favorite names? Anthony, Andrew, Androcles. I'm serious. I don't know what it is about names that start with "An." 9.    What one occasion do you lie? At dinner parties where I'm served something inedible. 10.  Email and Website: jcrwth@aol.com,www.jcrowtherart.com
