1. What would a perfect city be like?
Clean, bustling, but not too noisy, safe, easy to get to, museums, parks, good places to eat, and interesting things to see and do.
Back to swimming this morning, but not yet outside (pool was too cold.) I felt really great and was able to do 2100 meters. Then while K was at PT, I water and pulled weeds. Once he got back, I made breakfast, have a load of laundry going, have made fennel pesto for a veggie lasagna this evening, and have the ice cream churning.
Got a notice that our flight from NY back home in October was cancelled; had to scramble and get a flight for the next day, then contact the international airline to see if we could extend by a day; we could, so hopefully that is the only SNAFU for this trip.
We started watching "Stranger Things" season 4 on Monday, much darker than previous years, but so far, good. We started "Better Call Saul" season 6 last night, it was tense, but pretty much always is. You can just hear the train wreck coming, just not sure exactly how it all happens.
2. What are some small things that make your day better?
3. Do you have a go-to band or artist when you can't decide on something to listen to?
4. Is there a TV show or movie that you just refuse to watch?
5. What are you interested in that most people haven't heard of?
6. What could you do a 40-minute presentation on with no (or very little) preparation?
7. If you were dictator of your country, what would you do?
8. Is there a product or service you love so much that you'd happily be that company's spokesperson?
9. Why did you decide to do the work you are doing now (or if you're retired, the work you were doing prior to retirement)?
10. We have no control over where we're from, but do you wish you could have been from somewhere else?
11. What are some things you've had to unlearn?
12. New internet rules restrict everyone's free access to email, a search engine, and five sites of their choosing. To access any other site, you have to pay $1 per visit. What sites would you include in your five free sites, and what sites would you be willing to pay to access? (Sites you need to access for work-related purposes would be provided/paid for by your employer.)
13. Who inspires you to be better?
14. Is there something dumb or ridiculous that you did that actually turned out pretty well?
15. What are the best and worst things about aging?
16. Is there some event that changed how you view the world?
17. Was today typical? Why or why not?
18. Do you have a favourite accessory (excluding anything you wear regularly e.g. wedding band, watch, etc.)?
19. What was peaceful about today?
20. Do you hold grudges? Are you holding one now?
21. June 21 is "International Yoga Day". Do you do, or have you ever done, yoga?
22. What was the last TV show you watched? Did you enjoy it?
23. What was the last live performance you went to?
24. What is the most expensive thing you're wearing today?
25. What's the last dream you remember?
26. Name one item you can't throw out, even if it's not really sparking any joy.
27. Did anything make you laugh today?
28. If pressing a button meant you received 5 million dollars (or equivalent in your currency) but it also killed 5 people somewhere in the world, would you press it? What if it killed only 1 person or killed 20 people? What if the people were people you knew?
29. What makes a good friend?
30. Do we control technology or is technology controlling us?
