1. Do you like cheese?
Cheese is ok. I normally like it with something else. When used on sandwiches or burgers I don't like it melted on, but put on as a slice. Colby is my favorite.

2. Have you ever done heroin?
Never have, never will.

3. Do you own a bike?
Currently no. I've been thinking about getting one for a few years. Now that I'm in my new place, it might be just the time to do that.

4. What are you doing tonight?
Two of my daughters are coming to visit and spend the night.

5. Do you get nervous before doctor appointments?
No.

6. What do you think of hot dogs?
They're ok. Nothing special, nothing awful. I tend to minimize how often I eat them since they're not that healthy.

7. What's your favorite Christmas song?
I have several which are favorites, but not one which is right at the time. In the small group, among others, are: God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, White Christmas (I know that's not the official name), Silver Bells, Here Comes Santa Claus, Silent Night.

8. What do you prefer to drink in the morning?
Earl Gray tea, hot, with just a drop of lemon.

9. Can you do push ups?
Haven't tried it in a long time. I suspect no longer!

10. Is your bathroom clean?
It is.

11. What's your favorite piece of jewelry?
I don't wear jewelry now. When I have in the past it's been limited to my class ring.

12. Do you have friends?
Yes. I didn't really during my previous marriage because it made it impossible. Now I've rekindled the relationship with valued old friends, and have made many new ones (including some of y'all!).

13. Do you miss someone?
My parents, younger sister, and brother-in-law, first and foremost. They're all dead. I miss others who have fallen by the wayside for one reason or another.

14. Middle name?
So unique that I'm not sharing it here. It would be a dead ringer identifier.


15. Name 3 thoughts at this exact moment.
a. Need to get ready for my daughters to arrive after everyone else gets up
(It's 6 something in the morning - I'm an early riser.)
b. I need to do my financial planning for the next few months. Time to break
out the Excel spreadsheet.

18. Current worry?
I'm not a big worrier, and very much tend to focus on the brighter things, even when most things are bad. My biggest worry at the moment is rebalancing the budget for a few months while I handle an unexpected set of expenses.

19. Current hate?
I don't really spend much time hating. It's too much of a negative emotion to give much time to.

20. Favorite place to be?
Back home where I grew up.

21. How did you ring in the New Year?
Party at my older sisters.

22. Where would you like to go?
Lots of places! I'm an adventurer and love seeing the world. I would like to boat up the Blue Nile; go to the Antarctic (I've been to the Arctic, waaaaay up); travel deep up the Amazon; Egypt; to the lands of the Aztecs, Mayans, and Incas; and much more. And then come and spend some time at good ol' home.

27. Do you burn or tan?
Burn, baby, burn! I've got that Irish skin that fries like an egg.

28. Favorite color?
White.

I don't sing in the shower.
