a man who can't bear to share his habits is a man who needs to quit them

61. Which of your friends would lose the hardest in a rap battle? 

my friends are not a rapping bunch. I think it would be pretty funny to see - and there would be no winner.

62. How long do you think you’d be okay with eating the same thing every day?  I eat pretty much the same thing each workday for breakfast and lunch. Dinner is more varied. If I had to eat the exact same thing, morning til night, I'd get bored pretty fast.

63. Why have a separate word for raisins instead of just calling them dried grapes?  because words are delicious, just like grapes

64. What’s your favorite word?  "needed"

66. Does peanut butter go on top or the bottom of a peanut butter jelly sandwich?  peanut butter on

each slice of bread, and jam in between. The PB acts like spackle and keeps the jam from soaking into the bread.

67. Have you ever seen a badly behaved pet and wondered… why do they put up with this guy?  my neighbors have one. Of course, I've also wondered why the dogs put up with him.

69. Do you know any swear words in Latin?  ooooh no, I don't. That sounds like a cool way to spend an afternoon...

70. Do you actively seek inspiration?  occasionally. More often it comes along and whacks me over the head - just as I really need to focus on something else.

71. What’s your favorite part of the day?  16:30

72. Did you have a circle of friends in school?  uh, yeah

73. Do you prefer staying at home or going out?  depends. There are some people I would never let into my home. There are some people into whose home I would never go. For whatever reason, if I agree to spend time with them, then 'out' it shall be. Others, though, are such a part of me that to go out is no good; I don't want to share them.

74. Are you involved in any kind of activism?  ah, no

76. Was it easy for you to choose a career?  needs must

77. What do you enjoy about being out in the nature?  the feeling of sunshine on my face, cool water on my feet, and tame or skittery animals

78. What’s your type of humor?  smart

79. Do you often get sick?  other than headaches - rarely

80. Do you read much?  yup

82. Do you see smoking as something cool?  there are few things that are less cool. One of my

colleagues does it relentlessly (either outside smoking, refilling the ubiquitous coffee cup, or striding across the building to the restroom - alldamnday long).

83. Do you like being in the center of attention?  only in specific, limited circumstances

86. Have you ever gone to a festival?  many, many times

87. Can you enjoy yourself in extreme weather? 

I love hard rain. Really heavy snow is kind of nice once or twice a year, too. I hate wind, and nobody likes ice. And
extreme heat is loathsome.

88. Do you like museums? very much so

89. Do you have a daily routine?  snort

90. What social media are you on?  FB, IG, Twitter, and 3 or 4 blogs. A few of those use aliases...
