Do you believe in ghosts? Why or why not?
No. I'm not even all that sure about divine beings like angels, let alone former humans. (I understand "ghost" to refer to spirits of people no longer alive.) This isn't about cold, scientific rationality, because I do believe in God, but I just haven't seen anything that suggests to me that ghosts are real.
What's your biggest accomplishment?
That's a tough one, as I have been fortunate so far. There are many traits I'm very happy to have, some of which I think I helped to develop, but they are mostly gradual things, not identifiable points in time, so I don't think I can count those. So I guess, if I'm looking for a milestone, it would be deciding to, and following through with, conversion to Judaism.
If you had a choice of living now or during the time period you
portray in the SCA, which would you choose and why?
Now, definitely. Sure, I'd love to visit history, given a time machine, universal translator, and some degree of confidence that I wouldn't mess up the timeline too badly, but I wouldn't want to live there. I'm too attached to my modern standard of living, including good medical care, plentiful nutritious food, comfortable housing, the ability to engage in intellectual pursuits (for pay and for fun), and easy communication anywhere. And, yeah, the internet.
If you could "do it all over again" what would you change about you
or your life?
I've certainly got plenty of warts and have done things I'd rather be able to redo, but in a way, it all contributes to who I am, so I'd be cautious about making anything not have happened. However, there have been a few times when I have unintentionally hurt others badly, and I would like to have the opportunity to undo that for their sakes.
What's the best thing about owning a cat?
Bonding. My cats are individuals, albeit ones with limited communication, who all have their own places in my heart. And my lap. :-) I know that some people treat pets as closer to objects than to household members; that's not me.
If you want a set of questions, leave a comment asking for some. (It may take me a few days to respond.)

Beginning with 2001, I have not been employed by the same company on Jan. 1 as I was on Dec. 31 of that same calendar year. I'm hoping that 2008 will be different.

I started working for my current employer 5007 days ago. I should have thought about this last week!
