Tuesday Twitterfication

 It's been a while, but here is one of my extra special blog posts where I try to answer the first five questions I run across on my Twitter feed.

I think many do that to gin up a response. It doesn't help me. No one responds to any of my twits.

Do you check daily to see if President Zelensky is still with us?

Yes, I'm afraid I do. The Ukrainian resistance, led by the Churchillian Zelenskyy, is inspiring and brave. Still, I fear every day that they are just increasing the bloodshed and atrocities committed by the Russians. 

I don't see either as a monolith. There are Ukrainians who do bad things. There are Russians who do good things (consider the news editor who helped up a No War sign during Russia's premier propaganda broadcast). But the bottom line is an autocratic-led country is invading a democratic country.

What do you consider the most attractive non-physical quality in a person?

Humor and intelligence.

Crap. That's two.

Ok, humor then. Usually, truly funny people are also intelligent.

Except for the idiots in the Jackass movies.

Who remembers this guy? What group was apart of? And who was your favorite out of the group?

Uhh...I'm stumped. Japanese toy robot of some kind? Something GUN? Shogun? I don't know what group he was in, so, no, I don't have a favorite.

Nostalgia toys are getting more and more recent, at least to me. This doesn't look like anything my three boys were even in to (born 1981,1984 & 2000).

Well, that question is a bust.

What time does morning begin for you?

6 to 6:10 AM Monday through Friday, up to 7 AM on Saturday and Sunday.

Pretty cool for someone retired, eh?

I take care of the dogs and do some morning chores, so Alison has some time to get around for work.

I go to bed between 11:40 and midnight. I only need about six hours of sleep. If I try to get much more, I'll have insomnia the next night. I know some people think that's too little sleep, but it is what it is. I don't feel deprived or in a deficit situation.

I love living, being awake, so I only sleep as much as I have to.

You don't want me to work from home? The place where I can make myself a nice little lunch??

Yep. That's my goal. I guess that's what I'm doing, although I'm not sure anyone would call what I'm doing now work.

What's interesting to me is that the person who asked this has gotten 66,000 plus likes. Who is she? Is she that famous? Her mini-bio says she's an author, mostly writing about food.

I don't know. All I know is she got about 66,000 plus likes more than I do.

Maybe I should write more about food.

Yesterday we had Swedish meatballs prepared by Benjamin's Swedish friend. They were damn good.

Ok, that's probably not the type of food review that's gonna get me 66,000 likes.

Trying the best I can,
