I've skied poorly at Mt Wachusett, a little hill near me. I've got a record somewhere from my youth of hitting my head the most times getting off the ski-lift and being sledded off the mountain. Humiliating!

Have you been water-skiing? If so where?

I grew up skiing a million times a year on Mt. Hood. Happy memories.

Favorite comedian?

I'm partial to Dane Cook, and his old Karen routine. Everyone has a Karen.

Favorite thing you've ever received in the mail?

An extra, unexpected paycheck in 1992. Yeah!

Do you like mysteries and thrillers?

I love them. My favorite author is Robert B Parker, a Boston-based author who has a great sleuth named Spenser. He passed a few years ago but now other authors continue his craft.

What book has had the most profound effect upon you?

yes. I am christian.

do you find it easier talking to a certain age group or a certain gender or do you find you can open up to anyone in the same way (it's easier for me to speak to women, for example)

It varies I guess

Are you working on becoming more tolerant.. or maybe the opposite? As in I think I have tolerated too much bs and worse from some at times (mostly long ago)

You and I, I think we are a similar type of bear. I think I'm probably already too tolerant. I question my place in Black Lives Matter. I wonder if I should have joined protests, but I support the police. Am I a bad man for wanting to support both? Am I racist? I don't know. I want to be less tolerant of bad things, but it makes me feel less me, if that makes sense.

What is your strongest belief?

That all human beings were and are created completely and totally equal by our creator.

I wouldn't say I'm a major fan, but I did like some movies with martial arts. I really enjoyed "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon". That's a great movie with a great director (Ang Li) and cast members (Michelle Yeoh and Zhang Ziyi)! I suppose I like the ones that have some interesting story line with it. If it's just a bunch of kicking and punching, especially with delays in the lip sychronization, I'm not as fond.

Q: What has been (present or past) your favorite form of exercise?

Ok, a little sad but that's more situational than bipolar. Happy I bought toilet paper and paper towels .

How many times per day do you take meds?

Although just recently discovered, it might just be Onion, of Apple and Onion. Yeah, their show is geared for people MUCH younger than myself (ya think?!!), but I just find the show sweet, and besides, Onion is voiced by Richard Ayoade, whom I adore.

What is your favorite tv drama?

my favorite comedian was vicctoria wood (I had all her dvds), but now she's gone, I'll go for peter K. not all his stuff is funny, but some of it is.

I also admire lost voice guy and rosie jones though. they are both disabled and have both made a serious name for themselves.

are their songs that you simply can't bear to listen to for what ever reason?

There are and there have been. Most of my bipolar breaks.... I don't know what else to call them, have related to other people and in my life other people have related to songs, there are some songs and some artists that I've retired permanently due to inescapable pain and some that I've only recently started reclaiming and carefully, like small battles in a larger war. It's so strange.
That question was so good raging vortex!

Have you ever been reduced to pure emotion by someone else's words? You do not need to explain the situation or the words unless you feel like it.

I suppose a number of times. I guess the most intense was when my first love coldly declared that he did not love me anymore. I thought he was lying. I couldn't understand why he would say such a thing. I certainly did not feel that I had done anything to deserve his loss of love. I even made him prove it by calling his mother and telling her, in front of me. He did. It was a blow to my idealistic notion that "once you love you love forever". Incredibly sad! I still loved him, or at least the love we had had.

Q: Who do you trust most in life?

Probably... (especially before I can even remember)

Are you currently learning a new subject or skill?

I do! I didn't for many years, but learned this year to forgive!

Do you like Neil Diamond?
