January Q&A - Part 3 Requested by Facebook Friends

Day 11: If you could live anywhere, where would it be?

Missouri.  I love being surrounded by my family (most of the time) and miss them dearly.  I hate missing out on birthday parties and holidays.  However, I don't miss the snow and ice or extreme flooding they have right now!  

Day 12: What was your favorite subject in school AND why?

My all time favorite subject was science.  I had two of the best science teachers, Mr. Ken Ralls, and Mrs. Gena McCluskey.  Science came easy to me but I had to work for it.  

Not to toot my own horn, but I frequently won my school science fair. :D

Day 13: If you could go back in time, what year would you travel to (and why)?

For me this would have to be a time frame.  After all of my seizures, I had a tremendous amount of memory loss - amnesia.  I forgot friends, their faces, their voices, how we met, what we did together and so much more.  I would like to travel back to 1998-2005.  I know it is a broad range of time but I missed out on a lot.  I have a hard time talking to some people because I don't remember.  I would not want to change anything but just retrieve those memories.  

Day 14: What is your favorite music group?

I really don't have a single "favorite" music group.  Currently my Pandora account is on Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band, so anything that falls into that category I enjoy listening to.  I also frequently listen to Great Big Sea (which disband in 2014) and their lead singer, Alan Doyle (Alan Doyle and the Beautiful Gypsies).  

A couple of my favorites from Great Big Sea are "Heart of Hearts" and "Nothing But a Song".  "Dear Home Town" is another of my favorites but I couldn't find a good YouTube video.

Alan Doyle only has two albums out but there are several favorites there and some I discovered via YouTube.  Need a peppy song?  Try "I've Seen a Little".  I also like "So Let's Go", "The Night Loves Us," and this little romantic ditty "Don't Like to Dance."  It gets stuck in my head every time ♫ I'll just take my chances, I don't mind dancing with you...♫

Day 15: What's your favorite zoo animal?

Gorilla.  When I was little I wanted to study the lowland mountain gorillas.  I have always found them fascinating and gravitate to them when I visit the zoo.  Their facial expressions are so thought provoking.
