Meme’d

Thanks, Jeremy. (What’s a meme?)

1 – Who is your favorite musical artist? (post a YouTube video)

2 – Who is your favorite artist?

At the risk of being a cliche – MC Escher.

3 – Who is your favorite blogger?

I don’t have one – but I’d have to say Brian Wheeler, Sean Tubbs and the folks at Charlottesville Tomorrow – they keep me informed about Charlottesville political, growth, development and other issues so that I’m better at what I do, and my clients benefit.

4. If you could meet anyone (alive or dead), who would it be and what is the most interesting thing about them?

John Adams – his political deftness, his unselfishness and dedication to his family and country were and are infinitely admirable.

5. What did you want to be when you grew up?

I’ve not yet fully grown up, but I still want to be someone who makes a difference in peoples’ lives, be they my family, my friends, a few people around me or the world.

6. What is the most interesting piece of trivia you know?

I had to Google this (archived: 2009) as most trivia comes to the forefront of my mind at odd times, and this isn’t one of them. So – The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male’s head off.

7. If you could live in any point in history what would it be and why?

Now is good. It’s also a bit terrifying from a geo-political and economic standpoint, but every day is fascinating in some way. Of course, it wouldn’t be bad to go back in time with today’s engineering knowledge (and a few loyal engineers) and dominate the world.

8. What is the most interesting job you have ever held?

Realtor – the experiences, the stories and the people I meet make this by far the most interesting job so far. One day I’ll write a book.
