Today’s Questions:
What do you most like about yourself? My humility

What about yourself would you change, if you could? New heart, new spine

What do you like most about your appearance? It's low maintenance.

What do you dislike most about your appearance? I look like an egg.

Bonus Questions:
Can you ski? Tried as a kid, but never after that.

Can you ride a horse? Not now, and I rarely did in the past.


Can you swim? Yes

Can you dance? Used to a lot, but not now.

Can you cook? I was a good cook as a young man, but it became too much trouble when I lived with all sorts of delicious take-out options in my NYC neighborhood

Well, what CAN you do? It's easier to consider upon rising: Is there anything I have to do that I cannot do tomorrow or the day after.

Just for Fun:
How many pairs of jeans do you own? About five or six.

What color(s)? One black, the rest blue....extremely washed out blue at this point.

Today in History

Today’s Questions:
What do you most like about yourself?


With my great Greek Goddess beauty, svelte model like body, rocket science intellect, Leonardo DaVinci artistic and inventive talent and Mother Theresa saintliness, it's hard to choose. But, I think I'll go with my analytic skills which have served me well my whole life.

What about yourself would you change, if you could?

I'd be more sociable.

What do you like most about your appearance?

What do you dislike most about your appearance?

Bonus Questions:
Can you ski?
Can you ride a horse?
Can you swim?
Can you dance?
Can you cook?


I used to swim and dance. I don't like to cook. That doesn't mean I can't. The other two, no.

Well, what CAN you do?

Things that would get me hired, not things that would impress a social crowd.


Just for Fun:
How many pairs of jeans do you own?
Too lazy to check. Clothes are in another room.

Quote of the Day:
“I look up at the night sky, and I know that yes, we are part of this Universe, we are in this Universe, but perhaps more important than both of those facts is that the Universe is in us. When I reflect on that fact, I look up – many people feel small, because they’re small and the Universe is big, but I feel big, because my atoms came from those stars.”


- Neil deGrasse Tyson

Today is
Absurdity Day
Beautiful Day

Thanks Bay dear one. I saw Hacksaw Ridge with Lucille last night in a crowded theater, which I don't like to do, but, the movie was so intense that nobody was interested in looking at their tiny screen . It's been a long time since I've been to a movie where everyone clapped at the end. This movie is not for the faint of heart. It's like American Sniper on steroids. I have to admit that I woke up with some of those disturbing images floating around in my brain this morning We're off to Wisconsin this afternoon for a buffet at Apple Holler and a trip to the North Face Outlet.
