Love your sense of humor! (#15) I think my best find actually found me.
ReplyDelete#12 -- Really? You don't want a fireplace? I think I do want one. Or maybe fireplaces are like boats, in that it's better to have a friend who has one than to have one yourself.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on places to not visit. I couldn't think of any entire state or country I'd rule out. Everywhere has something I'd like to see again.
ReplyDeleteI love your answers, especially #16--yes!
ReplyDeleteBest answer to #21! Always practical.
ReplyDeletePlease do finish your PhD and save the world. I’m so tired of it!
