Hypothetically, if a retired entrepreneur were to offer a service where after your death you could have your life story written in your blood and bound with your actual skin, would that interest you?

Well, it isn't like I'd have a use for it any more.

That's how I always feel at the BMV when I'm renewing my license and they read this rote pitch to me about putting "organ donor" on my license so they can harvest my parts if I die suddenly. I think well I'm not going to need them anymore, but I also do wonder if I could have arranged to sell them, maybe leave my family a few extra bob.

For some reason, the only part of me it would bother me to donate is my eyes. I just don't like the thought of doing that for whatever reason.

Does shaking hands bother you? I've never particularly liked it, to be honest. I'll do it, but I don't understand why so many people feel it is necessary.

I enjoy shaking hands, hugging, and generally having physical contact with people I'm fond of.

Well yeah, but you're a living saint.

No. I like connecting with folks.

I think that's a BIT of an exaggeration.  I just like people until they give me a reason not to.

^ I like folks- and like Indy said.

In the wake of Covid, I am less inclined towards physical contact, but shaking hands, hugging and even kissing are things I enjoy when warm feelings are mutual.

If you were offered a 2,000 square foot new house at no cost, an acre of ground with it, and $25,000 per year, tax free, in addition to any other income you earned, would you be willing to relocate permanently to an isolated town in rural North Dakota?

I'd say no.

Ever had a dream in which you murdered someone?

On a stupefyingly hot night in 1997 I dreamed I murdered an old lady who worked in a library in a small town. (The old lady and the library were only in my dream, not real.) The feeling of sheer dread I experienced in the dream, the sickening certainty I was going to be caught, the awfulness of being at my victim's funeral, not caught yet but sure I would be, and feeling remorse, too, was like few dreams I've ever had, and I was so glad to wake up and realize it wasn't real.

Sex, drugs, and rock and roll a distant, distant third. I'm reminded of a stand-up's line that after the 60s passed, he realized that when you took out the sex and drugs, rock and roll wasn't all that good.

[RCMerchant]

Rock and Roll, drugs (as in pot), sex.
