: 1. What is it that you love to do, and what is your very earliest memory of doing it?

I must give multiple answers answer for this:

Drawing -- I remember drawing the flowers in my yard when I was about 3 years old. Been doing it ever since, and even got a silly degree in it.
Biking -- I got my first bike when I was a kid. I spent the next 10 years riding everywhere for about 4 hours a day until I turned 16 and got a car. I'm back to biking now and I ignore my car.
Walking -- Such a simple thing, but it gets you around, its a great activity to do alone while thinking, with someone else while talking, and it can get you up to the tops of mountains and other places that are otherwise inaccessible. My earliest memory of walking? I rememebr getting out of a swimming pool and walking away. I find it funny that my earliest memory of walking comes later than my earliest memory of swimming.

: 2. What is it that you hate to do, and how many times did your parents (or spouse) have to tell you to do it before you did?

I hate going to doctors. My parents made me often. Noone has made me in years. I don't believe that doctors can solve anything other than major problems because they treat symptoms, not problems. I will go again when either a bone breaks , I need surgery, or I need vaccines for international travel.

: 3. What is your earliest God memory?

We were kids. Must have been around 5, and my parents never even talked to us about religion. My brother asked what that funny building on the hill was, and my dad responded, "That's where God lives." Out next question was, "OK, but who is God?". My parents response (to each other), "Hmm..I guess we'd better go to church."

: 4. What was your favorite literary or literal adventure?

As a child - the Chronicles of Narnia
As a teen - the Dragonlance books. (I shudder to think of it.)
Post-colllege computer geek era - the Ringworld Series
Now - The Earthsea Trilogy

: 5. Why do test questions always come in 5's or 10's?

Actually, the questions come one by one. Its the test that groups them together. Don't blame such phenomena on the questions. :)
