What do you listen to while you work?
If I am trying to concentrate on work, I’ve found that the instrumental songs are soothing, without the distractions of vocals. It doesn’t matter if what is playing is something new or an instrumental version of a well known song.
Describe your most memorable vacation.
So, maybe a weekend trip to Atlantic City might not be your idea of a vacation but it’s worth remembering. This trip happened when I was a teenager. We lived just a 2.5 hour drive away. Mom and Dad made reservations at a small motel near the beach and packed us up for a day at the beach.
We played in the ocean and enjoyed the sun. Then when it was time to leave, we checked in the motel and chilled out.
The next morning my dad rented bikes for everyone and we spent the next several hours riding from one end of the boardwalk to the other. A lazy morning of riding along the beach. At that time, the big attraction along the boardwalk was the “Steel Pier”. (Yes, I’m telling my age!)
What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable?
This may not sound like much, but to me “Having It All” means that I am content with my life. I have enough time and energy to do the things I want to. I also have enough money to not have to worry about making ends meet. If I don’t feel like cooking for the night, I can just order something. The worries in my life are at a minimum.
What was the last live performance you saw?
The only live concert I ever saw was Kiss in New Orleans. More years ago than I want to admit, a friend and I drove from Pensacola FL to New Orleans to see them in person.
Do you vote in political elections?
Griping about the government and all its failures is a very common practice. We all know it.
I’m from the government. I’m here to help you.
But the honest truth is that if you don’t vote, you’re part of the problem.
