1. If you could live in any other era, or the future, which would it be and why?
I’d like to be an adult either in the 1960s or 1970s particularly if I could be a studio musician.
2. Thinking back to your childhood, what is your happiest memory?
I can’t really remember much of my childhood, but little things meant a lot. My eldest sister and I still joke about how I hero worshipped her and she once took me along to the American Automobile Association for her driving test and bought me a vanilla milk shake afterward, which I thought was a tremendously big deal at the time.
3. Name three good and three bad things about this era for you.
Good: Internet (bringing people together with common interests and concerns; easy access to info); technological advances in all areas, particularly medical
Bad: Internet (the weird stuff, reduced attention spans, death of privacy); narcissism; climate change
4. If you could go back in time, what in your past would you change?
Marrying too young and inexperienced, and not going to college.
5. If money were no object, what kind of watch would you like to own, or are watches gay?
For everyday wear, I like wooden watches with colorful faces, like this:
For something fancier, a vintage art deco watch:
6. What is, generally, your favourite time of day (or night) and why?
Usually just before I go to sleep when the house is quiet and I can uninterruptedly reflect and dream.
