From November 2009

1. Device I would never give up ... a Kindle. OK, I don’t have one yet, but I’m sure it would be my favorite.
2. I love watching ... the sky at night – finding the constellations and watching for shooting stars.
3. My favorite movie is … depends on my mood, but Casablanca is definitely one of them.
4. I wish I had more … money!
5. My favorite holiday is ... Labor Day. It hasn’t been over-commercialized, it’s a 3-day weekend and it happens just as everyone is gearing up for back-to-school and the change of seasons, so I feel a sense of renewal.
6. The person that inspires me the most is … my daughter. She’s an optimist, a free-thinker, an artist and still very down-to-earth.
7. When I have an extra hour at home, I like to … take a nap!
8. What I would like to be the world’s best at … languages, I wish I could speak dozens of languages.
9. I prefer AM or FM radio … Wisconsin Public Radio (FM)
10. I love to take vacations ... That’s it – any vacation, anywhere, any time.
11. I make the best … chocolate chip cookies. They’re popular with my daughter’s college roommates.
12. My favorite colors are … red and white – Go Badgers!
13. My favorite city is… Paris. As Gertrude Stein said, “America is my country and Paris is my home town.”
14. I like to read… and read and read.  This is why I need a Kindle!
15. Five people (living or dead) that I’d like to invite to dinner are … Mahatma Gandhi, Barack Obama, Bill Gates, Thomas Jefferson and my dad. Fascinating conversations!
