James Lott Jr. is always fun to chat with and we are so glad he is a friend, and supporter, of Carolyn Topol Talk!  We were able to get James’s quick answers for our Warming the Winter Chats, and as always, he shared his answers with a touch of his own warmth.

Carolyn Topol Talk: Favorite holiday?

Thanksgiving

CTT: Favorite season?

Fall

CTT: Best present you ever received?

Oh my God — good question! I got a Tiffany ID bracelet from my nieces and nephews.  They collectively put it together and had my initials engraved on it.  I wear it all the time.

At home, watching Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin, half-drunk already and full from food.

I like being in my garden, in the middle of the day, with music playing (usually disco), picking weeds and feeling the ocean breeze.

As an adult would be Heathers and as a child it was Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
