What is your favorite holiday? Why is it your favorite? Christmas is my favorite holiday because my mother made it so special from as early as I can remember as a child up until the last Christmas we shared before she passed away. The tree didn’t go up until my brother and I were fast asleep on Christmas Eve. It was the first thing we saw on Christmas Morning which we believed was magical how…

Have you ever been camping? Camping for me was and still is not my strong suit. I found it and still find it quite uncomfortable sleeping in a tent or sleeping bag under the stars. I prefer a bed and breakfast for a sleepover. I enjoy a hot shower in place of a cold dunk in a stream and a horror movie on Netflix vs a campfire tale. I’m an indoor creature of habit who detests insects and creepy…

When do you feel most productive? I’ve always been a night owl so I get most accomplished after midnight. I find there are far less distractions.

What are your favorite emojis? My absolute favorite is the winking emoji because I use it nightly to sign off texting with my son 😉. When I agree with anyone I tend to wink at them. My second favorite is the one sticking out its tongue because my father always used to stick his tongue out when he was being silly 😜. My third favorite is the cool emoji when my grandchildren are doing something…

What topics do you like to discuss? I am a Jeopardy and Trivia game fan. I’ll discuss and debate almost anything but I won’t waste my time on Politics or Religion. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and commitments.

When is the last time you took a risk? How did it work out? I tend to put myself out there quite often because I think at my age everything is risky. Even getting out of bed is risky. But seriously a young man I had never seen before in my neighborhood was obviously on some thing and appeared to be tweaking. I’ve seen enough videos on Tik Tok to recognize the symptoms. Anyway I asked if he was…

Describe a risk you took that you do not regret When I was 52 I took a contract position in The Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Aside from it being the most beautiful place I have ever seen it was also the most remote place I’ve ever had to live in. Granted it was only for ninety days but it seemed like a lifetime. During my stay I encountered several Coyote, a Cougar, a Wolf, a rather large angry…

Write about a time when you didn’t take action but wish you had. What would you do differently? Growing up I had a crush on a neighbor. He lived two doors down on the other side of the road. The trouble being he was three years older than me. It’s not a big thing when you’re older but when you’re only thirteen parents don’t take that lightly especially in 1964. I thought he was perfect. He was…

What makes you nervous? I get nervous when someone else is driving. I have an imaginary foot break on the driver’s side. I get nervous prior to public speaking. The old saying about picturing your audience naked never really worked for me. I get nervous waiting in pre-op anticipating the outcome. I get nervous when the phone rings in the middle of the night. No one ever has good news in the…

How do you unwind after a demanding day? I enjoy a leisurely soak in a warm bath while sipping on a glass of Chablis and listening to some Motown Oldies.

High Stakes

I couldn’t have imagined loving you would have been this hardIf so I’d have reshuffled cut the deck and picked a new cardLoving someone is high stakes meaning you have to ante upI was all in from the start but you didn’t risk quite enoughIf I were to make a bet I’d be willing to bet the houseYou could have been the perfect man but then again I have doubtsWhat’d I say about high stakes do you even…

How do you use social media? I use social media to keep up with family that live all over the country. I use it to follow current events. In the past I’ve used social media to connect with people in my life of work.
