ad_lumen because I feel like posting but am not quite awake enough to write anything of substance.
1. Your name spelled backwards: soq
2. Where were your parents born? Seattle, WA and Akron, OH
3. What is the last thing you downloaded onto your computer? A photo of Viggo Mortensen standing in the desert. He is posed so it looks like he is holding the sun in his hand.
4. What's your favorite restaurant? The Berkshire Grill, my neighborhood joint. It doesn't have the best food, but it's a convenient and comfortable place to stop and get some downtime for myself.
5. Last time you swam in a pool? When my mother, daughter and I visited the Kah-Nee-Ta resort back around the year 1999.
6. Have you ever been in a school play? Yes. My first time onstage was in the chorus of Fiddler on the Roof, which was a high school & community production. Then I went back to college, became a theater major. I played Horatio in Act I of Hamlet in a major English class production, and the Judge in Whose Life is it Anyway for a student-directed play. But most of my "school play" experience is as stage manager and director of college plays.
7. How many kids do you want? I have one, which is more than I wanted, truth be told.

15. Furthest places you ever traveled? By miles, it would be Scituate, MA, where my ex's parents live. By other standards: Tijuana, where I took part in a service mission during high school.
16. Do you have a garden? There are gardens around the house, but they are not mine. I've never had any particular interest in gardening.
17. What's the size of your bed? Full

39. Who would you like to meet? Right now, I'm most aware of failing to make it to a reading by Richard Bach, at which two of my friends met and conversed with him. But I also likead_lumen's answer: anyone reading this.
40. Do you believe in magic? Yes, although my sceptical/rational mind often struggles against it.
