Questions from Kristin:

1. If you had 48 hours to go anywhere in the world, including travel time, where would you go and why?

I would wing my way to Rome and go wander around the ruins near the Forum, photograph the shit out of them and then have lots of sources for sketching when I got home. I'm a huge ancient history buff and I can't think of a better place to soak it all in.

2. What is your phobia?

Hmm....this presumes that I have only one. I don't like spiders. Well, not big ones anyway. I would hate to be trapped in an extremely confined space. I'm afraid of being incapacitated and being left in some kind of vegetative or crippled state. I can't say I'd want any heroic measures taken to prolong a miserable life. I also have a fear of really, really, really screwing something up. Having done so in the past, I know how bad it can be. ;-)

3. H&R Block offers tax do-overs - if given a do-over that would not alter your current life greatly, would you take it and what would it be?

Yeah, I'd take it. But choosing just one might be a challenge. I think, though, I'd do-over some of my decisions and behaviours while working for a previous employer. I think my experience there would have been markedly different.

4. What would you consider to be your greatest achievement so far?

While I am extremely proud of the fact that I married an amazing woman, I am still proud of having survived losing a job I loved and managing to survive and persevere and NOT go completely bat-shit in the process.

5. If you could change a colour in a rainbow, what colour would you change it to?

I think a Rainbow needs an extra red stripe somewhere else. Maybe we could ditch Indigo?
