And the winner for "hardest set of questions yet asked"...



1) You have one of the finest minds I've ever encountered. What do you think is/was your greatest idea?

Well, thank you. :) I don't think I've had any real "great ideas," though; my mind is very quick at absorbing and understanding, but less good, I feel, at coming up with something new and important. I think several story ideas I have rattling around my brain are pretty good, but I haven't actually done anything with them.

2) Who was the greatest composer of all known history and why?

Good grief, I can't answer that! There are so many great ones. But in terms of prodigiousness of ideas and output, and influence on others, probably Mozart.

3) Do you still believe in true love?

Sort of. I think it's extremely rare, but it does happen. My parents' divorce a few years back after 33 years of marriage soured my view of love, but my grandparents' marriage still going strong after 63 years gives me hope.

4) What do you think is currently the greatest threat to the perpetuation of the human species?

Our own arrogance towards ourselves and each other. If we were better at admitting our own wrongs and forgiving other people's, we'd be a lot better off.

5) If you could be anywhere in the world right now, for any reason, where would it be and why would you go there?

The top of Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park, because it's beautiful and remote and doesn't have anything to do with the work I should be doing.

Oooooh!!!!!!!! Someone who's been there! Someone who knows what it's like to be on top of the world with no one else around! (well, actually with far too many stupid tourists around, but the idea is the same..)

YAY!!!!!!!!!!

I've been there repeatedly, in fact. One of the blessings of growing up in Boulder, and one that I didn't appreciate till I moved away, was that RMNP was only a couple hours' drive away.

I'd forgotten that you grew up in Boulder. I grew up here and when I was in high school, we relocated to Glen Haven just outside of Estes Park. But we'd spent every summer out there since I was 3. It never occurred to me that other people didn't have a view of the mountains out their front windows, or that a beautiful park wasn't within an easy drive. Now, I find I miss it a lot. But I don't think I would want to leave here either...*sigh*

I believe this is where Al's dad took us for a drive. I remember climbing a path and gasping for air and looking out at a beautiful purple sky. Heh.
