Because You Didn't Ask for It.

As knowledgable and interesting as I am, I find it difficult to overcome my natural timidity to think that what I have to say is worth your time to read it. Therefore I am going to introduce a new segment to this blog. I will continue to try to stay away from politics in this blog, saving that for another space. However, since I define politics as how you get along with others, some political views might sneak into this segment in which I invite truly interesting people to comment on life here by each answering the same six questions. In the interest of fairness and to achieve a baseline, I will give my answers here now, hopefully to be followed by the genius of y'all as resposes come in. Don't feel the need to wait for an invitation. I'll post all the interesting ones I get.

Question #5) Where do you do this? (How far away from there do you sleep?)
