More Wishes
You have three magic genie wishes, what are you asking for? If I got three wishes I would wish for more wishes, more genies, and maybe the seven Dragon Balls for the especially exotic wishes. Most versions of the story of Aladdin the genie in the lamp doesn’t limit the number of wishes at all.…

A Family Member
Describe a family member. A family member is someone who is related by blood and DNA. Marriage creates a legal family and children seal the family relationship with DNA. In some cases a person is legally adopted into a family. In a more general sense one can have a church family or a work family.…

Playing with the Cat
What is your favorite form of physical exercise? Our cat and I both eat a little too much and are a little less active than we need to be. She has a mouse on a string that is connected to a rod on the other end. I just ran all over the downstairs waving the…

Not Going to the Moon

Hostages
What major historical events do you remember? The first major event in the world that I remember was the crisis where US citizens were held hostage in Iran. I like Jimmy Carter. He’s a good man. But I don’t think he was a good president. Those hostages sat for over a year and he didn’t…

Wealth and Children
What’s the biggest risk you’d like to take — but haven’t been able to? I’ve talked a little about having more wives and children. That is probably a risk I will never take though, so I will focus on one that wouldn’t likely get me put in jail: Real Estate. I don’t own any land…

Breaking the Word of Wisdom
What have you been working on? I am at the moment working on finishing a second six pack of honey ale. I’ve had a little help from a buddy. He came over and we drank together into the wee hours of the night. That’s something I haven’t done in years because I was trying hard…
