tricky question

Someone, bored at work, posted “ask me a question, I’ll answer it as honestly as possible”. He’s not in list of direct friends but I syndicated his blog a good while back and enjoy his, not so frequent, posts.

Here’s what I came up with:

If, by magic, you were given one quality (that you think you don’t have or too little of it) but at the expense of another one (that you think you have) what would the two be?

I also made a note of it on my profile on FB and tagged just about every contacts I have there.

This helped me forget about the lame sentence Régis said to me during the ride back to Rauma. Out of the blue but so in line with what everybody so firmly believes is true: you’re single, you have no kids so…. He, later, kind of joked about the whole thing but the damage is done; I can bear grudges until I forget the root reason that caused it.

memorial

I’m following, on Youtube©, the memorial service of someone whom I remotely knew and who died late last year.
Again, always a surprise to hear people laugh every now and then. Did I mention this takes/took place in the US.

Back home it would be considered indecent to even try to add anything funny in a eulogy. Not that I see anything wrong with it, I’m just not used to it.
