When do you feel most productive? This morning, the day before my birthday, I woke up at 6:35am. Not atypical of me, by the way. I went downstairs, made coffee, and drank a red bull. Then, I decided to garden for two hours. Well, gardening is a strong […]
What topics do you like to discuss? My birthday is coming up in a few days. I love my birthday month. However, the last year was quite horrid and sad. I’ve come to lower my expectations. Although I am keeping one of my expectations that it will rain. […]
Describe a risk you took that you do not regret. A few years ago, a primary care provider noted I’m high in sensation-seeking. I don’t like rollercoasters. Don’t care too much for ziplining. I’m not keen on parachuting out of an airplane. But maybe one day. However, I […]

Describe a positive thing a family member has done for you. Family has been there for me. My mother was a primary force in my life. I still grieve her passing. I wouldn’t be me without her. And, my son wouldn’t be him without her. A prime example […]
What is your favorite restaurant? I know for sure there are some restaurants I greatly dislike. And, more often than not, it’s because of a bad interpersonal experience versus a bad meal. Now, as for my favorite restaurant, there is more than one. It’s many. I love all […]
