I do share with the lieutenant (Columbo) one very pronounced part of his personality - he loves to talk about his wife. You can't shut him up. I have the same problem. I can tell Shera stories till three in the morning. Shera is my wife.

Ill smoke anything anybody gives me, Im not particular.

The only mountain that I would still like to climb: I'd like to break 85.
