Q: On a scale of 1-10 how clean is your house (10 being the cleanest)?
A: Without a major purge/clean-out of old storage things, I think the best we could do would be an 8. I'd say right now we're at a 6.5. That's pretty good at the end of a long work week, I'd say!

Q: What stresses you?
A: Not knowing what process to follow to get things done. Sudden changes to a plan that I've made. People that I care about getting sick.

Q: What is annoying you?
A: Politics in general, politicians in specific. Poor laws. Corporate lobbyists. Pretentiousness. Arrogance. My own faults. Aging, but only a little.

Q: What is your super power?
A: Hmm...well the age old question about what super power would you pick if you could pick one is easy. Unlimited speed. There are just so many applications from pro sports to crime fighting (or crime committing).
However, I will give you one that feels like a super power sometimes. The ability to understand culture quickly. I am very good at looking at context clues in the environment and determining the appropriate way to act. This can be socially (harder for me) or determining an available course of action (very natural)
This happened to me on a train in England once. Some announcement was coming on about a train derailment and stations being closed and my group looked to me to decipher the garbled message and route us around using the posted maps. I was able to do that readily!

Q: What book are you reading right now?
A: I'm delighted to be reading my friend's unpublished memoir. It's sad and great. Look for it Spring of 2015! It doesn't have an official title yet, so...good luck looking!

Q: What is the largest TV screen in your house.
A: I'm not sure. I think maybe 50 inches? I don't even know how to measure these rectangular TVs. Someone gave it to us, which is great!

Q: If you could do today over again would you change anything?
A: Probably. I think I overreacted once at work. And I ate an extra cookie. Not bad though; many great things happened today!

Q: On a scale of 1-10 how is your health?
A: I'm going with 8. I eat bad stuff. I don't sleep enough. I have too much fat. And I don't exercise in the winter. But Spring is coming! And then at least one of these things will change!

Q: My favorite color is...
A: Green. The most emerald of greens is great. Green with a little yellow is nice. Green with too much blue is kind of gross.

Q: What is your favorite thing to drink?
A: Probably some kind of fruit smoothie. Without ice in it. Does smoothie always mean ice? If so, I mean the type of drink where they grind up fruit and make it into a thick yummy thing. Whatever you call that!

Q: What are you looking for from life?
A: Deep.
I'm looking for opportunities to help people travel through life a little more smoothly. Less stress, shared lessons learned, and help where it's wanted. The people are most frequently people I care about, friends and family; co-workers. This is a very good question. What are you looking for from life?
A: Deep.

Q: What made today unusual?
A: Denim. For the 3rd consecutive day I wore jeans to work. Usually I wear my office uniform of khaki's, but I went casual due to things like snow and ice and salt. The MLK day holiday on Monday and tomorrow's normal Friday jean wearing will combine for one whole week out of uniform!

Q: Tomorrow will be better because...
A: Tacos? No, I'm really not sure. How could I know? Alright, I won't cop out. If I'm able to be patient and kind at work tomorrow, then it will be better than today!
