> 1. If you could have any car ever made, in any condition, to express your goofy side, what would it be? And what color would it be?I think it would be a circa early 70's (have no idea what year the car was), banana yellow Porsche speedster. I know someone who was part owner of a car like this when I was a kid. It looked like a kind of classy, racing banana. I loved it! And of course, it was a convertible.

> 2. Same question, but expressing the way you'd like to be seen by the rest of the world?Hmmm, this one is tough. I really want to be seen by the rest of the world as "me", but I don't know how that would reflect in a car. Any suggestions? Something zippy, but approachable and comfortable, with some class, but not a luxury car. Bright and engaging? Hmmm, maybe same as above?
> 3. Can you cite one arcane or obscure historical event that you're glad you know about, even if it has no real larger meaning?
I saw Pete Rose break Ty Cobb's all-time hits record from the third row, third base side. Quite an exciting moment. The bum.

> 4. Can you name one -- only one, unless you're inspired by this idea -- *benefit* of your difficulties with mood disorders or traumatic experiences?Definitely the insight and understanding it gives me in working with clients. Empathy, baby!
> 5. A City Council in CA had a debate recently, in which they considered whether or not to ban certain drinking cups at civic events because the manufacture of the material those cups were made from involved the use of a substance called dihydrogen monoxide. Now, this stuff is known to: a> in it's most common state, be lethal to humans when inhaled, even in rather small amounts; b> in it's solid state, prolonged contact will cause considerable tissue damage; c> be a key component of Acid Rain; and d> be used extensively in the production of styrofoam. A survey used in the debate showed that 86% of respondents in a study supported it's use being banned completely. What do you say? Should it be banned?
Not touching this one with a ten foot pole (don't want tissue damage! :)
