What are your favorite emojis? My views on emojis were reflected in 2018’s The Great Emoji Debate. ….I’ve caved and now use them more than I care to admit. Although I still feel that they devaluate language and words. The best one? The beloved metal horns / malocchio. 🤘

What makes you laugh? Me…. Myself….. Humour has been a coping mechanism, and I’m grateful to have a bit of a bite to my wit, and wit to my wisdom.
What’s something most people don’t understand? The appeal of heavy music. Metal is a big part of my life and has inspired my own work.
