1. When do you feel the world will stop?
I don't know when the world will stop, but it will stop for me when I die.

2. What is your personal motto?
"We should all be connected to each other."  --The Last Session

3. What is the greatest gift you ever received?
Jeri decorated a dozen eggs to represent Gilbert & Sullivan operettas for Christmas one year.  Very special!

4. Who is a leader who inspires you?
I was always inspired by Obama and Jimmy Carter

5. What irrationally annoys you more than anything else?
All those messages for upcoming programs at the bottom of a TV screen that cover up important parts of the show that is on.

6. What small thing can always bring you a bit of joy?

7. What is your favorite thing to do on a lazy day?
Snuggle into my recliner under a blanket with something on TV and take a nap.

8. How often do you take risks?
Rarely (in my life these days there is little opportunity for risk taking)

9. Write about your happiest memory.
I have a lot of happy memories, but one that always comes to mind is standing backstage at The Lamplighters, watching contralto June Wilkins being celebrated.  She was such a big part of the early history of the company and when she retired, nobody planned to do anything for her and I convinced them they need to have a celebration for her.  Watching the look on her face as the audience stood and applauded her was such a happiness for me.

10. How long do you think it will be before we see a female president?
We're getting closer!  It depends on how long the Trumpists are going to stay in power.  When we get a female president it will undoubtedly be a Democrat.

11. Do you think it's important to be part of a community? Why? Why not?
Of course.  We're all working for the same thing.  Nextdoor is a good way to create a community.

12. What piece of modern technology are you most grateful to have.
How "modern" is modern?  The technology I use the most is the TV, but I'm also grateful to have the internet, especially Google!

13. Do you feel anonymous on line?
Good lord, not at all.  When  I first got on line, it never occurred to me to become "anonymous" and by the time it started sounding like a good idea, you could find me pretty much everywhere on line.

14. What is something you've always wanted to try but have never gotten around to.
Photo safari in Africa, inland cruise in Alaska.

15. What would life be like without the internet?
I'd be reading a lot more books.
