Patoko's inquiry, Bruyere's responses
1. What is the best day of the year for you?
I'm really not sure. I can't really think of one day in particular, but I'll say my birthday almost always turns out to be a pleasant day. Almost!2. What is the best book you ever read?
Perhaps I have something with superlatives or decisions. I have so many I could not pick one out. I had a really beautiful book that I found during a significant trip to Paris. It's called the Mistress of Spices. I must have reread that ten times by now. It's a dreamy kind of book but I think the message is that someone can love you despite your unconventional appearance. Much like the Princess and the Pea or a fairy tale.3. What is your slogan that you live life upon?
Life is a boat, we're all in it, so sometimes I'll help you and other times you'll help me.4. Do you vacuum or sweep?
Both, I have a laminate floor that scratches, so have to sweep with a soft mop thing, and I vacuum the carpet. Am I the only one who finds dustpans a chore though?5. Honestly here, and it shows for some, how long do you go on your computer each day? Way too much at the moment as I'm looking for work. I bet it's about six hours some days. That will be over soon. I normally spend time on here at FT though to do my 'job'.
6. What is the strangest dream you've ever had?
Well, not to reveal everything, but, I really would like to go up in a hot air balloon some day or fly in a glider to see if that's not what it was.7. Your biggest life accomplishment?
My children, daughter and son...are probably one of the accomplishments.8. Do you wish we were back in the 80's?
No, I had some very good times, don't get me wrong. I traveled around the world, studied abroad and got a degree there, lived in France and used my second language, had a child in the eighties, worked at university jobs, but now, I have done that, and need to get on with the rest. I wouldn't mind the state of physical fitness I had at thirty or so though...that would be nice. Why did I think I was out of shape then? I don't want the twenty something body as it would look odd, but, the thirty something body after two kids would be fine.9. The thing that you most regret that you did in your life?
Yes, but I can't say it here. It's ok, there are other paths to take. The path I chose must have been for a reason.
10. How fast can you type?
I just did an online typing test to check. Normally when I compose from my mind to the keyboard, I'm about 90 wpm, but when I'm typing something of someone else's text, it's apparently about 70 wpm.
When there are figures, it probably goes way down to fifty wpm!
I just began wearing good glasses so things have improved.
I learned touch typing in junior high school at about fourteen years old. It's been a great boon to finding jobs and using this as I traveled.

My life is not really so full of action, I have a grand old time livin' it anyway. Good Job! By the way, I might sue our school to teach us to touch type.... :)
