I love to answer Christina's questions and read
others' answers. She wrote 5 new ones!

1. What are you grateful for from 2022?

   - Graduated nursing school.
   - Daughter, Evy, roommate, inlaws, parents,
       Bugz, church, classmates, AA.
   - Stable housing, hot water, food stamps,
       Medicaid, decent job, dependable little
       stick-shift hatchback car.
   - Creek, trails, sidewalks in my town.

2. Has the internet changed the way you think?

   I'm a '90s kid; internet influenced how I
   think. I made an Angelfire webpage for my
   'zine in 1998. Stayed part of a circle of
   conflict medics almost 20 yrs via listserv.
   Found good community on sdf and via gopher.

3. What do you believe is true though you can't
   prove it?

   - Too much of anything's bad for you.
   - Kids in big houses don't play outside be-
       cause it's too far.
   - There's enough for everybody to live well.
   - Rich people aren't happy, they're trapped.

4. What have you changed your mind about and why?

   I couldn't understand what made the 1992-95
   Bosnian War happen til cables from Canadian
   peacekeepers were declassified last year. I
   learned about US sabotage of peace talks and
   escalation by international mujahideen.

5. What would you like to return to?

   I just returned to reading C. Vann Woodward's
   (1951) Origins of the New South, a masterwork
   that demands time & attention. Started 2nd
   chapter last night!

   I want to get back to bicycling & working on/
   riding my motorcycle.

   I want to get a little hot violence back in
   my life; my libido's starting to return.

Things to love in life:

   1. A job well done.
   2. Fresh-baked sourdough bread.
   3. Clean kitchen.
   4. Long walk adventure.
   5. Being a regular somewhere.
