Are you currently married? In the following hysterical post you say that your marital batting average is .333 and that you've been divorced twice. So I'm guessing you are, but thought I'd ask anyway. I couldn't think of another question right off the bat...

Also, do you really give people $1.25 if you use their questions in your column? How did you come up with that amount per question?

I think you are one of the funniest, cleverest people around, by the way. Thanks for doing this, man!

Hello Norman

Being a man with an amazing sense of humor, do you find it hard to keep a "poker face" during a poker tournament?

Which brings you more satisfaction: commentary on poker broadcasts, writing or playing poker?

Any poker players you really admire?

I don't have a "poker face," I have a "face for radio."

My biggest problem at mostb poker tournsments -- besides finishing in the money -- is getting people to have a better time. It's often a somber group. What the heck? WE'RE PLAYING POKER, let's have a good time!

To paraphrase Phil Hellmuth, I feel blessed that I love to comment on poker broadcasts, love to play poker and love to write. I'm also blessed any morning I wake up with a regular bowel movement.

Yes, I am currently married, a third and final time. I believe this one is "Till death do us part," even if that means one of us kills the other.

I do pay readers of my newspaper column $1.25 (in cash) when they get a question published at the end of my column. It was just a quirky amount that I liked the sound of, though it means I'm constantly digging into couch cushions looking for quarters.
