Given the choice between living alone or dying among friends, which would you pick?
hm. Dying among friends, I think. As much as I value my privacy and time spent alone, I'd wither without human contact
If you could not be Jewish, what other religion would you be?
Probably something syncretistic and self-devised, much like a lot of the way I comport myself religiously now, but outside of the Jewish framework I'm in.
What quality do you admire most in your mother? What quality of hers are you most uncomfortable with? Why?
I admire her determination, and it's something I try to emulate whenever I can. I'm uncomfortable with her temper, it can get a little scary at times.
If you could have any one of the following, which would you pick, and why: A million dollars, true love, a child of your own, or immunity to all disease for the rest of your life.
At this point, I'd take the million dollars, since I'm broke. :-) Seriously, it's a tossup between true love (something I experience more often than I realize), and immunity from disease. Both of my grandfathers had different illnesses that made them powerless at the ends of their lives, and I don't think I'm ready to consider something like that happening to me.
What is your most cherished memory?
The one that pops into my head right now is of myself at age four climbing into my grandfather's lap and giving him a hug. Grandpa Bobby lived in Miami Beach, and we rarely visited him and my grandmother, it's a nice memory, and one of the few that I have of him.
