I’ve seen these around - most recently at Ukok’s place. Thought I would participate.

Appetizer
Do you believe there is intelligent life on other planets?
Nope. While I am a definite X-File fan, “I want to believe,” but I just don’t see the evidence.
Soup
What is one thing you said you’d never do, but you eventually did?
I lived in the South. Back in grad school, I said I wouldn’t live in the South. BTW, I like the South now. I learned a lot while there. I am glad to be back in So Cal, though.

Who is the teacher that influenced you the most in school?
I owe so much to so many, I don’t know how to choose and feel.
Grad school: My advisor, Dan Ozer - he helped mold my philosophy. He also mentored me in developing the skills I use to make a living.
Undergrad, Lisa Bridges - she convinced me to go to grad school where I did.
High School: There were 5 in high school that were important to me: Fr. Ziemann (Religion, Dean of Students), Sr. Leo Francis (Chemistry, Physics), Coach Crowley, Mr. Edwards (History), and Mr. Squires (Math). They taught me so much, I have no idea where to begin.
Grammar School/Jr. High - Sr. Delores - she made me believe I could do more academically than I had.
Main Course
If you could trade places with anyone for one day, who would it be and why?
A homeless person. It is hard for me to understand their life - I wish I could better understand.
Dessert
What is your favorite dish to prepare?
Grilled Tri-tip steak and home made salsa.
