Not likely. My taste in cars tends to be pretty basic (I currently have a Honda Civic LX, the base model, on order). I like looking at the 100K+ cars but no real interest in spending that kind of coin on transportation.

WYE give up your car and rely on transit, bike, etc.?

Halloween looms and my annual story is here. Is it a trick? Or a treat? Let me know.

Grace of Bigelow Street | Stories Space

Probably not, as I do like driving and riding my motorcycle. That said, I did ride bus and subway to work when I was working.

Would you ever change careers (not just a different direction in the same career) mid-life?

I already did, but not sure 34 (the age I changed from librarian to IT management) is mid-life. At this point, I am too close to retirement to consider changing again.

WYE go back to school to study a subject just for the sake of learning?

Halloween looms and my annual story is here. Is it a trick? Or a treat? Let me know.

Grace of Bigelow Street | Stories Space

Yes. Although I already have three degrees, have gone to our local community college and taken courses in Astronomy which I have always found fascinating. Not sure how far I'd pursue it, but is fun.

Would you ever go on a truly blind date?

I might just to see what happens. Might get a pleasant surprise. Or not.

WYE date an old friend/partner who returns to your life after years/decades?

There is one... enough said.

WYE take a mystery tour?



"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana

Yeah, that could be fun. Would it be a "Magical Mystery Tour"? 😉

WYE spend a whole day, rising to bed, doing nothing but binging a single TV show?

Funny thing, I have experienced. In my life, I have had six boyfriends. With one imporant exception from college, I have remained friends with all of them - with the full knowledge and consent of my husband. Trust has a huge part to play here.

Would you ever

Do something that you are afraid of just to help you get over that fear. For example, sky or scuba diving despite a fear of flying or drowning?

Only around Liverpool! 🤣

Probably not, unless it was something that affected my general well-being.

WYE hold a Tarantula?



"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana

Yes. Not really afraid of arachnids or snakes, unless many girls. Probably since they had a lot of them in Alabama where we often visited growing up and where I went to all four of high school and four more in undergraduate school.

Would you every eat an arachnid?

If I ever get to Cambodia, I do mean to try their grilled tarantula so it's not an absolute "no" but until that happens, they aren't exactly high on my menu. But I figure that I eat shrimp, which are also arthropods, without flinching so why not arachnids or insects?

WYE perform music on a public stage (singing, instrument, whatever)?

Grace of Bigelow Street | Stories Space

I did sing once, so yes. I was in a stage show of The Blues Brothers by accident.

WYE Go shopping in your house clothes?

No. When I go out, even for just shopping, it always a skirt/blouse or (rarely) a dress and high heels. Just give me an excuse to dress up.

Would you ever

Fly into space if given the opportunity?

Probably not. I only fly for convenience rather than for the pleasure of it.

WYE ride a unicycle?



"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana

Haha no. I do not have the balance required.

WYE live frugally and only own essentials, i.e. food and hygiene?

If I had to, yes.

WYE Abseil down a tower block?



"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana

Yes! I love to rock climb and that would be such an adrenaline rush!

WYE walk a tightrope?

Not a chance. No balance! 🤣

WYE cross a rope bridge over a very high gorge?



"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana

Sure. Why not. Jumped out of an airplane so it's just a matter of putting the fear of death behind you and going for it.

Want to be in the right seat while I fly an ILS approach in heavy fog at minimums.

Not especially, but only because I have little interest in flying. I was a Gas Turbine fitter in my younger days. I kept them flying rather than flying them. 😉

WYE stand next to a military jet engine in full reheat/afterburner, close enough to touch?



"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana

I think so, if I kept my arms to my sides and was properly wearing safety requirements. Maybe a HAZMAT suit? There is also the possibility that I am fooling myself and no, no I definitely would not.

WYE join the military?

I did! 🤣 I was a jet engine fitter in the Royal Air Force a long time ago.

WYE respond to a call to arms?



"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana

Some years ago I called the CO for enlisting Pfc's at the local Marine Corps office. He was nice. I asked if I could join but he said it wasn't possible because I had epilepsy. I even asked the Navy if I could become a Nurse but they said same thing as the CO.

WYE put forth the effort of writing a novel?

I noticed you have a saga in paperback. Congratulations! 🥳

WYE write a review about a novel, even if you didn't like it?

Yes. I would be honest and nice, not harsh.

Yes, I think my nerves would get to me though.

Yes. Meditation is good for mental health.

Would you ever do a 100 mile wilderness hike (no amenities)

Not sure if I could last that long without water, but yes!

Would you ever skydive?

Yes, have done that. Awesome adrenaline experience.

Would you ever dive with the sharks?
