Today’s Question(s):
Have you been to the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican?
If yes, how well did it measure up to your expectations?
No, but I've been to St Paul's Cathedral in London and Westminster Abby in Westminster, a small town bordering London. Srsly.

St. Paul's is definitely the more impressive of the two. You really feel like you're in an Old World cathedral. Inside you can climb the steps into the dome balcony.

Westminster Abbey is smaller, but full of lots of scupltures and burials, from times when people used to be buried IN the church, if they're families were notable enough anyway.

Westminster Abbey is also very near Parliament and Big Ben.

Have you ever attended a concert at the Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco? If yes, who was the star of the concert?
No, I've never been to San Francisco.

When I was a kid one of my older brothers took me to see Chicago at Reunion Arena in Dallas. I've also been to concerts at Bass Performance Hall, FedEx Forum and some place in near Albany, New York that I don't remember the name of.

Extra Credit Question:
Do you play poker ?
The card game? Not often. In fact, haven't played in years.
If yes, where do you usually play ?
With friends in your home or theirs - Only this one.

How confident are you that you do (or could) keep a poker face if you have a great hand of cards?
Not sure, might look like: or with a bad hand or . And not:

Bonus Question:
How far from your house is the nearest pay phone ?
No idea. Those aren't very common anymore.
When was the last time you used a pay phone?
Many years.

Just for Fun:
Cleveland’s highest November temperature was 82 degrees F, recorded on this day in 1950. What’s the expected high temperature in your area for today?
Without looking I'm gonna guess 60s or maybe 70s.
