7. What makes you sigh?
What kind of sigh? Happy, sad, exasperated, angry, rueful, annoyed, …. this question just made me sigh. It is frustratingly vague — that’s it! Frustration makes me sigh.
8. If you didn’t know how old you are, how old would you claim you are?
Today I am 99. I have a myriad of aches and pains resulting from a lot of flailing and a near fall.
9. Would you break a law to save a loved one? To protect a loved one?
Would I jay walk,. Sure. Would I commit murder. No. These questions are remarkably vague, don’t you think?

School? That is my vocation ….
11. You’re having lunch with 3 people whom you respect and admire. They begin to criticize a close friend of yours, not knowing she is your friend. What do you do?
I speak up. I tell them the person is a friend of mine and I give her good qualities. I know that’s what I do because I have done it.
