Twenty questions (minus fifteen)

Tripp is playing a new game on his blog. He volunteered to answer 5 interview questions posed to him. He picked it up elsewhere, and was intrigued enough to pass on the offer to his corner of the blogiverse. I was intrigued enough to take a deep breath and volunteer to let him pose questions for me to answer. I got the questions here just a while ago; but I have to complete my final evals for CPE (due tomorrow!) before I can sit down and contemplate the answers. Stay tuned, sports fans: navel gazing to follow.
