    Is it acceptable to wear pajamas in public?

    Probably not for me. I usually wear a pair of compression shorts and that's it LOL

    What’s the Hardest Language to Learn

    I am into open-source intelligence analysis. I figured with the National Security situation, knowing Russian could help me when I gather data. I'm about 80% German and also Polish, I thought it would be interesting to learn it. I also want to learn Spanish since America is getting a lot of...

    What’s the Hardest Language to Learn

    And maybe Polish will be harder. I've not got too deep into that one yet. I've done Russian a bit more.

    Changing your investments as you age?

    I add more to my 401K. Right now, it has a good amount in it. If I keep doing what I'm doing, I should be able to have a comfortable retirement. However, I'll still try to do something to keep making money whether it's writing for magazines or running an online business.

    Personal Style

    Active. I wear outdoorsy clothing most of the time. But when I hike or bike, it's usually athletic clothing. I love compression clothing. I embrace the spandex!

    Last time you had a bowel movement?

    Since you asked... LOL I do it every day. As I've aged, I've developed digestive problems. One thing I have is something called IBS-C where I get constipated easily but it's severe and includes horrible stomach pain. I eat a lot of fiber-rich meals, take probiotics, and routinely exercise. As...

    What’s the Hardest Language to Learn

    I've been trying to learn four different languages for fun. Spanish (I'm doing better with it than any of the others) German Russian Polish I'd love to learn Hebrew and Arabic one day, too, but those seem like they would take a lifetime to learn! Russian so far is the hardest. It's the...

    Painting

    I've tried painting and I'm not that good at it, I'm better at drawing but I still need to improve. Here's a brown bear I drew a few years ago following a video for instruction:

    Swearing

    Generally, I try not to swear. There really is no good excuse to do it. I can stomp my foot when I'm mad and get the same effect I would with saying the F-word. I also like to show respect towards the older generations. I was just raised differently I suppose.
