I confess I’m a sucker for Q&A memes that waft around out there in the ether. Most of the time I find them on someone else’s blog and just join in. Rare is it that I’m actually and personally tapped to participate — until just now when I found an email from Rodger Jacobs of 8763 Wonderland who wrote: “Tag! You’re It!” and provided a link back to his blog where I find he’d been tagged to answer the “Four L.A. Things Meme” by Kim Cooper of the awesome 1947Project and editor of Scram magazine.

OK, enough with who zoomed who, here are the questions and my answers:
