Which One?!
Yup! It was quite an experience. One of the many advantages of living in South India. I also got to feed bananas to them. They are just wonderful. Preferably home made muffin! But I don't mind really.
the sound of a ticking wrist watch or the sound of the pecking Woodpecker?
Spring! What a wonderful pulse they have!Singing or Dancing?
I want to visit India one day.Ajay's first: A ticking wrist watch
Al: Fall. But I prefer to call it Autumn :D
Autumn or Fall?
Nope. I haven't seen the pic with the mustache, Alex! But now I am curious. Where is the pic? :)Yes, Kat. You should visit India sometime.
Autumn! Something romantic about it.
Singing or Dancing?
Ooh, that's hard. I'd have to say singing though, I've been doing that for longer. I've always wondered how bands sing AND dance at the same time.Shawn Green or Gus Blue? (psych)
Not sure of both, Kat. Are they music artists? I'l leave it to the others to answer.
:) No problem, Alex. But the present one is beautiful!
Kat wrote: "Steve Carell...best choice out of the two."That's true. You can only take Will Ferrell in small doses. . . or not at all. :P
Will Ferrell is as indigestible as ipecac. Nice photo Al.
I haven't watched the show Kat, in which these characters appear. So, instead of choosing a tertium quid I'll let another opt for one of the two.
Hello Al. I'm busy lurking. But I am even more busy creating my final class lecture. It's going a bit sideways on me, too. So, lots to do.How are you? I was hoping your long WSS quiet was a sign you were resting and getting well again.
I've read most of it, so there is no point in deleting it. It is very good! Very interesting.
Well, sorry, but I read them first! Just got back after baking cakes, and making / eating lunch.Now back to the lecture! It is fun, actually, but how to keep it from getting too ... big. That is a big challenge for me.
Blueberry / Strawberry shortcake cakes. Delicious!
Good night Al. Just finished cooking supper: home-made stuffed chops, candied yams, apple sauce, mashed potatoes. We're just letting the chops to rest a few more minutes before chowing down.Hope the sleep was restful and filled with dreams that brought laughter.
Hi M and Kat.

Reading before bed. That seems to be the only time I get to read lately. While writing before bed can be annoying for me, I have written very big pieces of stories before bed that I think were pretty good.Playing video-games or Reading?
Reading. Classic answer, yes, but it's true. I like video games, but books have more appeal to me.Google or Yahoo?

Reading Articles. Coz I like the word Articles better - and its easier to read for me.
Your Modus Operandi: Lying by omission OR Guilt Tripping
What a great/nasty question, if you are only looking to great distension and flame outs. Hmmm. I hope I've managed to keep how I really think hidden behind that distracting dis-information.
Well, if I were forced to choose, omission, because it rolls of the tongue trippingly, with nary a stumble nor reliance on memories lost.
Modus Operandi or Profile?
I posted some popcorn. Maybe that will jog your tired memory? Okay, not likely, but you never know.
All you needed to do was add another "I think" at the end of your paragraph for it to be worthy of the three stooges. Yes, it sounds like your meds are messing with your brain.I hope you enjoy my popcorn before closing your eyes: it is likely to put you to sleep, but Pandora laughs a lot and so may be inspiring to your dreaming self.
Al, Al, Al, my sweet tired Al. It is time for you to lay your head down and hear a better voiced me sing a gentle lullaby to put you to sleep. Truly, if you found that popcorn funny, sleep is the cure.
Good night. I slipped away for a few to make ML and I some tea. I hope you are, truly, sleeping.See you in the morning.

ET! Never fails to move me!Jogging in the park at 5.30 AM or Waking up at 12 Noon for a Brunch? Gosh, this is a clear sign of me running out of questions.
