What is something I think everyone should know? There are so many things…how to read. That their parents love them. The companionship of an animal. I think I’ll go super dad-practical, though: Everyone should know how to manage their money. Which I guess is a...

What does it mean to be a kid at heart? It means one has successfully resisted jadedness. Or put in the positive, to not lose one’s sense of wonder. Above all else, I think that’s what children possess upstairs that we come to envy as adults. From awe comes adventure,...

I have three magic genie wishes. What am I wishing for? Too much for my getting-ready-to-sleep mind to figure out right here right now, except to wish that my dogs would be healthy and happy forever. But, in the spirit of the question, I will share a very carefully...

Making it a quick one tonight, but had exactly the Sunday I needed to. Nap brought me back to life, watched some sports, got the podcast up and a laptop back up and running, and coops had a cyst burst on his back but we were able to bandage him up and he fine. All is...

What is my favorite form of physical exercise? Oh, man, that’s actually pretty easy to answer: anything competitive. Like, if there’s a score involved, even if it’s against myself (like, golf, for example), I’m in. I don’t even realize that I’m “working out.” I just...

How much would I pay to go to the moon? I love this question. A lot. Now, I wouldn’t be the first to go do it, I don’t think. I don’t have quite that much devil-may-care in me…but I would go. And I would pay a lot to do it, if it was on the table. If it was a matter...

What alternative career paths have I considered? Oh, man. I’ve considered SO MANY, lol. I think, probably, the most wild one I considered early on was nursing, and by that I just mean it’s so far from what I ended up doing. I went to school for it, actually, for a...

What Food would I say is my specialty? I don’t cook all the much. My head is elsewhere almost all the time, so cooking is something that takes me away from those things. I’m trying to change that, though! Truly. I’ve only dipped my toes into it here and there, but I...

What historical events do I remember? Oh, man. TOO MANY. Most of them lately. But let’s go back, instead… I think my first real historical event I actually remember vividly is Dukakis losing to George Bush in…’88? I remember because my mom voted for Dukakis—the main...

Oops. Didn’t post this last night BUT… Under the weather today. It’s weird because the symptoms are so mild, but I am definitely fighting something. I feel it mostly in my stomach, which has been super fragile. Some achy-ness, too, and a little tiny bit of post-nasal...
