21~Do you see the world as round or flat?
Wouldn't want to be thought of as a flatlander, I guess. I think the photos from space definitively show the world to be round.

22~Have you ever tried alcohol? If so, what?
I have sampled a fair number of adult beverages in my time. If left to my own devices I drink good beer, semi-sweet locally produced wines, wine coolers, margaritas and other fruity alcoholic drinks. I only have a drink or two per week, though.

23~Do you have a favorite restaurant that you often go to?
Not really ~ I don't go out to eat very often. Places we have been locally more than once tend to be stand-alone restaurants. Chains we like include Carrabbas', Great Northern Pizza and Red Lobster.

24~Ever been to the zoo?
Yes, the city I live in has a nice zoo with interesting critters. The only famous zoo I have had the pleasure to see was the San Diego zoo.

25~Favorite animal?
well, my totem is the wolf, if that could be thought of as a 'favorite' but I love dogs and horses and enjoy wildlife sightings and going to the zoo.

26~Do you believe in the Paranormal?
Oh, yes. I have felt spirits and belong to a rather interesting spiritual path which considers 'paranormal' to be 'normal.' Have I told anyone here that I have been a professional tarot reader? I should start a thread over in the fortune-telling forum.

27~Favorite time of year?
I prefer summer, when it's warm and there's no snow. Don't get me wrong, a little snow can be fun but we average over a hundred inches of the stuff a year where I live and it gets old.

28~Have you ever been to a circus?
yes, the Shriner's circus has come to my city regularly in the past. My dad was a shriner so I would always get tickets to take my kids to it.

29~What game Console do you currently own?
I don't have any game systems. My daughter has a PS2 and my son has an XBox. I have played very little, if at all, on either one.

30~Can you draw?
yes, rather well. I haven't done any visual art in quite some time but, when necessary, I can draw a good representation of something.

31~Do you ever watch the Olympics when they're on?
yes, there are sports that I enjoy that may not be on very much the rest of the time like gymnastics and ice skating, track and field, cross-country racing....all sorts of stuff that are unusual and over-promoted the rest of the time. I don't watch team sports.

32~What fears do you have, if any?
My fears center around unwanted life changes....like getting a chronic disabling disease or getting badly hurt. I fear limitations, of being the unwilling springboard for other people's ambitions, I fear being taken advantage of.

33~Have you ever broken a curfew?
Thankfully, I don't have to worry about things like this. Once out from under the parental units I haven't had to deal with it.

34~Have you ever received anything on Valentines day?
yes, but not in a long time. It is a manufactured holiday that doesn't have a whole lot of real meaning; save your money.

35~If a Genie granted you 3 wishes, what would they be?
I might spend a wish on ensuring that, in the process of being granted, that the intent of my wishes doesn't go awry! No Monkey's Paw crap, please.
I want the means to retire from working at things I wouldn't show up for unless they paid me. I want to move to Arizona or New Mexico so I can travel. I want to stay in good health.
