Saturday Six-Episode 64

1. A stray dog wonders into your yard, obviously weak, hungry and thirsty.  He is a very friendly dog, but if you feed it or give it water, you know that the dog won't leave your yard and you'll end up keeping him.  If you don't help the animal, he might die.  What do you do?

I would feed the dog. If I couldn't keep him where I was living, I would find a trusted family member or friend to keep him.

2. You must lose one of the following:  a foot, a hand, an eye or an ear.  Which would you get rid of and why?

I would lose none! But if I must, I'd get rid of a foot because I have to choose one and why not that one?

3. Scalzi of "By the Way" recently posted about the top unanswered questions in science today.  Click here and scroll down to the list of the top 25 biggest mysteries:  which one would you MOST like to have answered?

Uhh..... I'd most like to have How Are Memories Stored and Retrieved? answered.

4. Joe, our AOL Journals Editor, says blogs are boring:  either everyone talks about pretty much the same topics, or regular people lead dull lives, he suggests.  So what keeps you reading other people's blogs?

I'm addicted.

5. READER'S CHOICE QUESTION #57 from Lisa:  You are writing a bestseller book.  What kind of book is it (romance, mystery, science fiction, action adventure, historical, gothic, classic, fiction, non fiction, biography, other) ?   What is your main character's first name and the setting in which it will take place?  And give us a one sentence tidbit about the plot ...   

A romance about a girl named Katherine who lives in upstate NY and can't figure out her heart. I've already started it as a short story and here's the opening sentence:

As she lay alone on her loft, Katherine wished deperatly that she had kissed him that night.

6. READER'S CHOICE QUESTION #58 from Mary:  Jim Elliot once said, "When it comes time to die...make sure all you got to do is die."  What do you have to do or would like to do before you die? Make a list of at least 6 things.  And since you made the list.. will you actually try to accomplish those things?

I don't have to do much but there is a lot I'd like to do.

1. Skinny dip.
2. Kiss someone.
3. Get a tattoo.
4. Read thru the entire Bible.
5. Get that dress from Saratoga Springs!
6. Finish this story.

I'll do most of them, I hope. At least 5/6 depending on how long God grants me.
