I'm not sure that there's anyone place.  But, all things being equal it would probably be in the States or Europe.  I like the quality of life we have here and that is available there.

2. If you could drive any vehicle (price, oil consumption, and functionality are no object here), what would it be? How would you deck it out to suit your tastes?

I'd have a small fleet of vehicles:

Mercedes SL Class Roadster

Audi A8L W12

1956 Thunderbird

3. If you had $1million (after taxes), all for whatever purpose you wanted to do with it (for your personal consumption only...no being generous to other people!), what would you do with it?

I'd buy an apartment in New York City and finish my education.  It would be nice to not have to work and go to school at the same time.

2. Do you have any major plans for the summer? Not really.  Mostly work.  I've got a couple of friends getting married this summer.

3. If money was no object, is there would something you'd like to do/somewhere you'd like to go/etc? If so, what is it? If not, are you happy with the way things are?  I don't know that I'm necessarily happy where I am but right now I'm not sure where I'd go or what I'd do.

Booking Through Thursday

Writing guides, grammar books, punctuation how-tos . . . do you read them? Not read them? How many writing books, grammar books, dictionaries–if any–do you have in your library?

I love reading about how words are misused.  I do have a punctuation guide that is my friend.  :)  I've got about 4 or 5 "writing" books.

Thirsty Thursday: Share you Worst Culinary Disaster

That would have to be the time I set myself on fire in culinary school.  I was frying something and splashed oil onto myself over and open flame.  The oil ignited and so did my pants.  I dropped trou in the kitchen faster than you would have thought possible!

Thursday Threesome

::Fife and Drum?::

Onesome: Fife-- Barney? ...a musical instrument? ...the number after 'four'? What came to mind when you saw this week's title?

The instrument.  I used to play one in my High School ROTC Drum and Fife Corps.  :)

Twosome: and--do you recall a painting of a fife and drum set with a flag? No? Maybe one of our American History majors can link it in...

Maybe sort of, but not off hand.  Is that awful?

Threesome: Drum--lines? Do you love them? ...or do you even know they exist? I'm wondering if this is an "Eastern" thing...

Oh, I love drum lines!  I played on one of those in high school too.  All hail the Xylophone!
