Before I get into this...please go visit my friend Megan and wish her a hearty congratulations...SHE GOT ENGAGED! That's the news I couldn't tell earlier...I'm so happy for her! And her ring is just gorgeous :-) SQUEEEEEeee!!!

Anyway, once again, I volunteered to be asked five questions, this time by Colleen, because I thought her questions would be quite interesting...I wasn't wrong!

1. What's the best part and worst part of being a Bostonian? The best part of being a Bostonian is...just being a Bostonian!

2. If you could go back to high school and know what you know now how would you be different? I'd run that damn school! Oh, and I'd join the photography club!

3. You and I are going to spend the day in Japan. Where would you take me? What would we do? What would we eat? First, I'd take you to Sapporo Ramen in Fussa, where they make the best ramen ever. Then, we'd walk along the banks of the Tama River, course it'd be during cherry blossom time and we'd admire the gorgeous blossoms. I'd take you into Seiyu, which is a grocery store on the first floor, and a department store on the other 3 floors. I'd show you the different foods, the uniquely Japanese things. Then we'd hop on a train to Ginza, and just walk around taking in the sights. Afterwards, I'd arrange for us to go visit my friend Hisayo and enjoy some Japanese hospitality.

4. What song best describes your life philosophy and why? Over The Hills and Far Away, by Led Zeppelin:

Many have I loved - Many times been bitten
Many times I've gazed along the open road.

Many times I've lied - Many times I've listened
Many times I've wondered how much there is to know.

5. You've just won the lottery, a million dollars. How would your life change if you didn't have to work? What would you do with your money? Haysus, I would quit my job SO FAST my head would spin. I'd give money to my family and friends, then I'd invest...And after that I'd hop on a plane and visit Gaylen and Hisayo and Masayo and Mich (NM, Japan, Honolulu). I'd buy a house in New England, and one in Japan, and they'd both have shiba proof fenced in yards.

Thanks!!!! I love the "shiba proof" fence!

I love Japan. Have been there just once but can't wait to go back!

I love the way you describe Japan. It's sounds so wonderful- it's terrible that I've never been there...yet.

Do you ever think "Menses" when you write memes? I do sometimes. I'm wondering why we went with a term that is close to something we all mutually dislike. Yes, I'm completely off topic and thought I'd just sharing my little rambling observation with you :)

Congrats Megan!

Japan sounds lovely. When are we going?

Congrats to Megan and Jimbo!

I'll go to Japan!!!!!

I hope you get that million....sounds like you have great plans!

I think a million would just about break me even at this point! LOL

Good luck with the lottery winnings. ;) I think we should all win one, just once...

I've got such terrible luck with contests, myself, I've never bothered buying a ticket. Someday, if I feel lucky, I'll try it.

A shiba-proof fence? Is Wolf an escape artist?
