> This year, did you try reading a book in a genre you usually don't
gravitate to? What did you think of it?
I did not... I don't read books a great deal ever since I worked in
academia and did much reading for work. The books I did read were my
usual non-fiction. Semi-humorous travel, biographies, social history
type stuff.
> Have you ever made a New Year's resolution that you stuck to? (Are
you still sticking to it?)
The one thing I stuck with from last year was to give more to charity,
and free software causes. I intend to stick to it this year. I'm
pretty terrible at sticking to anything else.
> What does "healthy" mean to you?
Free from pain, and functioning enough to get through life without
constantly wishing things were better. That applies to physical and
mental state.
> Are you an early bird or a night owl?
Probably neither? Usually get woken by the kids at 7:00am and in bed
by 10-11:00pm. I don't really feel more active at one end of that day
than the other either.
> Will you get the COVID vaccine? Why or why not?
Absolutely. I strongly believe that everyone who can be vaccinated
should be as soon as they can. Those of us for whom it's easy to
arrange, and dont' have any allergy or other health concerns, must be
responsible to help stop the spread of the disease to others who can't
easily get the protection of a vaccine.
