Is it too much to ask to scroll up after you post to see if you skipped anyone.. and if you did... fit it? It's called being considerate in case you didn't know.

You could scroll up and see I did what you suggest before you suggested it, Miss Teacher.

Honda Civic Hybrid - Nice car...pretty reliable...not a very large difference between the regular model and the hybrid in terms of gas mileage though. My next car will be different I think.

Do you own and use an Instant Pot?

Given the opportunity, what Olympic sport would you like to participate in?

Given the ABILITY, downhill skiing.

If you could be great at one: singing, musical instrument or painting, which would you want?

Singing, most definitely. I have the utmost appreciation for quality vocalists.

If you could have dinner with one famous person (past or present) who would that be?

Occasional cost of living increases for retiree's...some adjustment every 5-years...even if it were 2-3% it would help a lot.

As an adult, have you ever read a book written for young adults?

Harry Potter.

Are you political?

I am not active politically, but I definitely have pretty detailed views on politics. But, I am not hard core.

What book is your #1 recommendation for someone looking for a good mystery?

The Mueller Report comes to mind but it’s not really a mystery since we know who did it and why.

In Cold Blood by Truman Capote, I read it every couple of years.

What do you think is the best adaptation of a book to the screen?

Good question. I've often had conversations about this very thing - is the book or movie better, should you read the book first or afterwards...which brings to mind the best adaptation of a book in a movie.

For a more recent movie, I thought The Martian movie adaptation of the book was pretty good. I could see where the movie makers chose not to follow the book exactly - and why. But overall, I thought that was a good one. And, for what it's worth, I read the book AFTER seeing the movie.

How many hours a day do you listen to music?

Women love to laugh. That gets them there.

My dad, ever the prankster, told me his sure-fire method for catching rabbits. I believed him until I was about 10.

What was "normal " in your home as a child that you now know was really strange?

Father smoked inside the house. I cannot even imagine that now. It was foul.

Do you have close friends with political orientation drastically different from your own?
