What is your favorite type of sky? Storybook with puffy white clouds on bright blue or moody with many shades of grey and blue?
Definitely blue, but with some puffy white clouds. The only time I like gray skies is when it rains. Where I live now is too dry for my taste, and yet it's often grey and gloomy, anyway.

Do you have a day in the future you're looking forward to? What about it will give you pleasure?

nothing comes to mind- at least a certain day

every day is just so painful and so useless and so frustrating, and so wasted...

I guess in the long run any day where I'm accepted or treated properly is a bonus- but you can't look forward to it because you never know when it's going to be.
at what age did you start to take life seriously?. started to think that, my future and my needs are down to me, not other people.

Loved Downton Abby. Watched the episodes and the movie. Looking forward to the next movie.

Do you like martial art movies? Why or why not?

Some, but not most. I don't like the Bruce Lee types or the ones where the dubbed dialogue is off sync. However, a great movie like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, I love. I'm a fan of actress Michelle Yeoh. Their female warriors are super rad and often more convincing than western ones. I also liked the original Karate Kid.

What do you think was the most exciting movie you've ever seen?

Most exciting I’ll have to go with the original Star Wars movie in 1977. The whole audience was involved in shouting when the villain appeared. The only other movie where I had that experience was at the midnight showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Many people dressed up for it and stomped and sang.

Have you ever been part of a mass crowd out for a good time?

Love murder and crime as long as it’s fiction. Cozy’s are a favorite of mine. They are lighter not so dark and gruesome.

Do you like bright sunny days ?

I like sunny days, but mostly if there are at least some clouds. If not, I tend to prefer to be somewhere in a forest where the trees provide some protection. The main issues for me are sunburn (I do not tan, I go from ghost white to sunburned or very white with some freckles) and the possibility of the sun causing either migraines or mood elevation.

Will you do anything for Saint Valentine's day today?

Favourite book or author?

Really depressed today I woke up and have been pretty much in tears since I got out of bed. I really miss my wife today and that's funny cause neither one of us celebrated Valentine's day with each other. I mean we told each other happy Valentine's day and that was pretty much it. I am going to try my best and stay off of Facebook just so I don't have to see these people posting

1) Sleep changes
2)fast thinking
3) issues with songs replaying in my head with altered lyrics
4) irritability
5) appetite changes

Have you had a COVID test done (not the at home kind but the medical kind)?

Yes several, but not for the past two years. But a neighboring city has continued to hold their festivities

Do you like candy 🍬?

Unfortunately, yes. It would do me some good if I didn't, as my sugar levels are in pre-diabetic range again.

Are you more into chocolate or some other flavor? What flavor and what's you're favorite treat of that flavor?

Spring! Looking oh so forward to being able to walk out the door without a coat and green grass!

Have you had a recent disappointment?

I'm looking forward to spring, too. I will say we've had some notably mild temperature days where I am, though. I've just worn a jacket and no coat. This is not normal here in CZ.

I can't think of any major disappointment, lately. I have been frustrated with the status quo. Maybe that itself qualifies.

What do you particularly like about your spring holiday (i.e. Easter, Passover, etc.)?
