Do you think who you are? 

Not really in a philosophical sense, like “what’s my purpose in life?”. Rather, I take stock of myself based on how others respond to me (friends, family, co-workers). I am very happy to say, so far so good.

What have you done in last couple of days?

Other than surviving, nothing Earth shattering

How many times you see yourself in the mirror?

Apparently not enough. I’ll go into a restroom after a meeting and think, “oh crap, did my hair look like that during the whole meeting?” I tend to dwell more on my performance than anything else, but I really need to pay more attention to things like that. I’ll never be accused of being vain.

If I was falling off the edge of a cliff would you catch me in your arms? 

I would certainly try. The willingness would be there, but don’t expect flawless execution. Best to stay away from the edge, my friend.

1. Only on bad days. Good days I just think about what I’m doing. I prefer good days. It is like the conversation we had in a conversation about Lennon somewhere on the forum, there is a tendency to write out feelings only when going through low times.

2. Went to Oregon for a conference. I am stoked from what I learned. I have lots of work projects in mind now. Yesterday , I took it easy. I took a long nap and then took my dog to the park.

3. I see myself in the mirror in the mornings when I am parting my hair and putting mousse in it (really, though, I am only paying attention to make sure my part is straight and not zigzag-ed /\/\/\). Other than that, if I glance in the mirror, I don’t really pay attention to what I am seeing.

@thisbirdhasflown 

which pronoun should I use for you? 

1. He 

2. She 

 

Sorry if that’s a weird question; pronouns are wriggly things and I try to keep them straight.

He. I’m a guy. No problem asking, I’ve made the same mistake myself.

1) Only to the extent that I wonder how others see me (not in the vampire in a mirror sense, more in the “am I a nice person to know?” sense).

2) I booked some travel to an interesting place.

3) Usually only when I shave; except when I walk past and accidentally glance in the mirror and wonder when I got so old 🙂

For the most part, male birds are more brightly colored like these cardinals.

That’s all I know on the subject – I’m not lifting any feathers for a peek.

You can tell bird genders with blood tests, behavior, looking at the feathers really close and looking at the adult birds cause in birds of prey, female birds are bigger for example.

That would work for only 2% of birds.

I don’t know, but I can guarantee that I wouldn’t give her the power to force everybody to stay on topic.

The power to FLY so she could traverse the world and meet all her fellow ‘biblers. 

And if I could grant her two powers, the other would be super strength so she could carry us on her back and take us with her!

What have you done in last couple of days?

Saturday: Enjoyed the wonderful warm weather, took a walk in the park with a frozen coffee and my music player, fed a bunch of ducks and geese. Then later in the evening, had a few drinks at home while watching the hockey game, then went out to my nearby pub to watch a little more and drink a little more, and wound up singing Bob Dylan’s “Subterranean Homesick Blues” for karaoke! (First time I’d participated in that embarrassing/exhilarating pastime since massacring “Strawberry Fields Forever ” back in 1991 or so.)

Paul: Yeah well… first of all, we’re bringing out a ‘Stamp Out Detroit’ campaign.

Feeling slightly philosophical, or something, so: 

Do you ever stop and marvel at how much you can love four people whom you’ve never met; whom you only know through music, photos, interviews, etc.; how you can love those four people so much and for so long? 

I have, often. It’s partly why I came here; non-Beatlemaniacs just don’t understand.
