People have done all kinds of great things with both.

7:55am

Return from the Stars by Stanislaw Lem

4: Whats your first memory?
It’s not clear, probably being aware of wearing pajamas, but my early days didn’t seem chronological.

I’d like to know who my distant relatives were, so I’d be reborn 1,000 years ago in their village.

The big picture.

Biggie – Life After Death

Hammered Dulcimer. Easily the most fun and satisfying instrument I’ve tried learning.

The Warriors.

No.

Whatever it is once it happens it probably won’t be that bad.

I feel pretty lucky and I value being able to lead a healthy, independent life.

17: Famous last words?
Time to die.
