video games, writing, reading.
2. What are you favorite outdoors activities?
Hiking, I hope it won't be too long before I feel safe to hike in the nearby National Park.
3. How do you feel about plastic surgery?
For birth defects and injury repair it's fine and noble. For vanity surgery, it's horrifying
4. What responsibilities do you think the media have, if any?
I think most of the responsibility lies with the consumers of media which is why the media can be so dangerous.
5. What is your take on organ donation?
I don't think the medical profession is at all honest about the risks to the whole population from organ transplantations when the recipient has to be placed on anti-biotics for life.

Home?

Yes, often not for a good reason.
10. What is your take on making mistakes?
It's normal. Admit when you're wrong and get on with your life.
11. Who would you like to trade lives with for a day and why?
Can't think of anyone, right now.
12. How would a stranger that met you at a dinner party describe you?
Dull.
13. How old do you feel?
In some ways 25, in others 85.
14. How has getting older helped you deal with challenges in life?
Well, you run into so many different situations and get through them somehow, that new situations don't bother you as much.
15. When I have a look around my home, it’s very obvious that I…
Like books. Repairman always comment on how many books I have.

File my income tax, Get my second Covid shot and probably translate a couple more book chapters.
17. 5 years ago I never thought…
I'd mostly give up watching TV.
18. What are you most fascinated by at the moment?
Accretion of large volcanic provinces to continental land masses. (It's a thing in geology. See below.)
19. What are the three most dominant emotions in your life right now?
Patient frustration (the cat likes to get in my way when I'm working)
Expectation (wanting my second Covid shot and following waiting period to be over)
General contentment.
20. What is sure to make you cry?
Forgetting to put on glasses when I chop onions.
21. How does the weather effect your mood?
Not much, usually. The snow this morning kind of gave me a lift.
22. What would you change if you knew you could not fail?
I'd give the U.S. universal health care.
23. If you could get rid of anything on the planet what would it be?
Are greed and stupidity things under this heading?
24. What would be the ultimate travel experience for you?
I suppose a trip to the moon and back, but I wouldn't actually want to go.
25. What’s the most recent show you’ve binge watched?
Counting YouTube, a college class in geology.
