| 51 | Do they have Malta India down there? Used to by favorite drink when I was a kid in Puerto Rico. | What is your favorite drink (excluding alcohol)? |
| 52 | You know how the sunlight takes on that mellow, buttery-gold glow in late summer/early autumn and late winter/early spring? That's the weather that best represents my personality and general mood. A golden sunny afternoon on one of those days. | What weather represents your personality and general mood? |
| 53 | I actually have several. Thomas Jefferson for one. Then of course there are Timothy Leary and Ken Kesey. Heck, might as well toss Albert Hoffman in there as well.  | Who is your idol? |

Well, Jefferson was the quite radical for his time, but he was also a consummate politician. Jefferson actually wanted to give every white male Virginian a spread of land, but was canny enough not to push for it against widespread opposition. He also wanted very much to end slavery in his own time, but again, was sufficiently the politician that he did not push too hard for this. | If you could bring back anyone from the dead for a day, who would you bring back? |

My paternal grandfather died at 58, my own father died at 48. My mother's father died at 59. I was actually surprised I made it past 38. It seemed to be the trend with my father and his father. Strangely, with my history (smoker, not a disparager of alcohol and a longtime history of using illegal drugs such as pot and psychedelics) I am in amazingly good health. No blood pressure issues (95/80 last time I checked), low cholesterol and triglycerides, I seem to be bucking the family trends. | Where do you see yourself in 10 years time? |
| 59 | Not really. A little troubled here and there. But generally looking forward to new challenges and new developments. | Are you scared for the future? |

He even conducted at it's premiere, although the orchestra was carefully instructed to pay no attention to Beethoven, only to the other conductor. | Are you scared for the future? |
