@AlexWS Sorry for taking so long to answer.
What’s the purpose of newspapers anymore? In my personal opinion there is very little purpose left for newspapers. Anything you can find in a printed paper can be found much sooner online. I suppose some investigative journalism can still be a useful thing for newspapers. I used to get a Sunday paper for all the coupons... Now I get those all on my phone. I would be surprised to see any newspapers in circulation 20 years from now.
Is there something that you’ve dreamt of doing for a long time? Why haven’t you done it?
I've dreamt of going to London since I was 10-11. Why haven't I gone yet? Primarily money as it will costs a lot to spend an entire week in London. Also stuff at home takes precedence and there haven't been many times where I could just leave for a week with no worries about getting back to the States quickly. As soon as this virus situation is under control (whenever that might be) I've decided I'm just going to go.
What did you enjoy about school?
You might laugh, but learning. I wasn't a socializer in school. Sure I had friends, but it was a small group. I really liked and enjoyed learning new things through school. Had a few teachers who really made a lasting impact on my life.
Besides a raise or more vacation time, what’s the best perk a company can offer employees?
Work-life balances such as flexible starting times, working at home (which isn't a problem now for most employers), spreading out work among the staff, offering care programs for kids, stuff like that. In a nutshell just being flexible and not expecting employees to work 50-60 hours a week. I did that for a while and I've promised myself never to do it again. I don't mind occasionally working over to meet a tight deadline, but I'm not doing it all the time.
When was the last time you had a professional / good massage?
Been so long I can't even remember! At least several years ago.

…But I was/am very fond of “When we were very Young” a book of poetry by A A Milne (author of Winnie the Pooh). I love things with rhythm and meter and rhyme. The stories in each poem are so fanciful and delightful. They also deal with a lot of things that I spent a great deal of time thinking about. Like which is the best stair and why. Also, “The Paper Bag Princess” by Robert Munch. The Princess, Elizabeth is the bomb! And finally, “The Just So Stories” by Rudyard Kipling. The language is far too difficult for a little person to understand, so listening to them being read I could turn expressions like “the procession of the equinoxes” around in my head and wonder was foreign and delightful thing that might be. And finally finally, there was a book whose title I have forgotten but which was about a little girl who didn’t clean her home and so all of her things came to life and ran away to live somewhere else.
to mario music, that ruled!!!
