A couple’ of weeks ago, I was “tagged” by Cavman (see my blogroll) with these chain-mail questions. I promised to answer so am now.
1. What’s the most fun work you’ve ever done and why?
Forensic psychological examinations of potentially violent individuals. Why? Its fun to explore another person to see what makes them do the things they do (and how they get to the place where they are comfortable with psychopathy).
2. Name one thing you did in the past, but no longer do, but wish you did?
Sports (running and basketball)
3. Name one thing you’ve always wanted to do, but keep putting it off?
Scubadiving; learn to play the guitar
4. Name two things you’d like to learn or be better at?
Learn to play the guitar; speak a foreign language fluently
5. Name one person, living or dead, you’d like to learn from and why?
hard to choose just one…MLK, Richard Sibbes, CS Lewis (dead guys). Person whose ideas interest me now is my friend, Bruce Cushna, a retired Rogerian psychologist who always has interesting takes on the world and is a master at loving the unlovely.
6. 3 Words that family and friends use to describe you
distractible, talks to understand (a nice way of saying he’s confusing), cafaholic
7. 2 Words you wished described you
excellent writer, organized
8. Top 3 passions (besides my faith and family)
