Q&A

What I'm Currently Addicted To...

Sunshine in the morning, Italian food, bagel with cream cheese and roast beef topped by cucumber for crunch, new innovations, the future and good books.

This Is Annoying Me...

Personal inertia. Lazy press, lying press. Bullies in powerful positions. Lobbyists.

This Is Making Me Worry...

The similarities between Obama and Hoover. Failing schools and the future demand for education.

This Is Bringing Me Joy...

Hearing children playing in the streets.

I'm Running From...

The old man in the mirror.

This Is Helping Me Create...

A fantasy view.
