I'd like to try one.

Same question?

Sure, they look fun! I wouldn't want to draw attention to myself, though.

Did you ever have a Light-Bright toy? (I love that thing!)

Yes, and I used to pretend that the yellow pegs were real gold and they sparkled the most. My son never got into his.

What is something you always carry in your car?

My dog
My accessible parking pass
Extra sunglasses
My phone and a charger
Chapstick
An emergency kit that my father insisted upon (jumper cables, flares, blankets, matches)
A first aid kit
My wallet and ID!

What kind of car was your first car?

Oh, I agree with the pen and the tissues!

The first car I really drove was a Mustang when I was in California. The first car I owned was an Oldsmobile.

same q

Never owned one. I can drive as well as at least a third of drivers on the road, but the test standards have gotten impossibly high of late.

What do you think of the Rosary Prayer?

I don't know it. I am under the impression it is for the intercession of the Virgin Mary (?).

Does caffeine keep you awake or can you drink tea at night?

That's only one part of it, but the most important for many people. For me, it's that brings me closer to unifying my values with those embodied by the life of Jesus while experiencing the motherly love of Mary.

I drink both tea and coffee whenever with no effect on my ability to get to sleep. An excess of caffeine does tend to give me heartburn though which, being a hypochondriac, I naturally interpret as a cardiac arrest.

Do you enjoy modelling aircraft?

I have never tried, though I modeled cars as a boy. Now my hands shake too much for detailed work.

Have you flown in light aircraft?

My wife's brother advised her to get a 1991 Hyundai Excel for $1,000.

A few months after she bought the car, the engine fell through to the street.

I "owned" it because it was under my name.


The first car that was actually "mine" was a 2013 Hyundai Sonata.


Same question.

Never flown in a light aircraft, though I'd very much like to.

How good is your maths?

I excelled in school, and I'm still quite proficient but I don't have a reason to use it much now.

same question

Good enough, though my natural ability has declined somewhat. My mathematical knowledge still puts me comfortably in the top percentile, I'd say.

How often do you visit coffee shops?

Synaesthesia was particularly helpful with algebra and arithmetic because every number and letter had a colour.

Coffee shops: maybe once or twice a week if I'm out, but that's usually at night and I don't often stay inside because of my agoraphobia.

same question

2-3 times a month.

What is your let's favorite toy?
