What’s a country that’s at the top of your bucket list?
My bucket list is rather short.
The bucket isn’t very tall.
But right there at the top,
The nation of Nepal.
“Aim high”, is what I’ve alway heard.
Off to Mt. Everest I’d go.
To acclimate to the altitude,
I’d start off rather slow.
With a Sherpa guide leading the way,
I’d follow with bucket list in hand.
As we attained Everest’s summit,
I’d have just one demand.
“Let us descend from this place,
most expediently; as quickly as can be.”
Up next on my list is West Asia,
to visit the shoreline along the Dead Sea!”

Our first computer was a five row abacus.
Create an emergency preparedness plan.
Having an Emergency Preparedness Plan is prudent, practical and swell.
For the moment in which we need it, is a moment we can’t foretell.
My plan is a work in progress, a document that lives and breathes.
It’s safely stored in the refrigerator, between the baklava and Cheddar cheese.
Should disaster strike when I’m far from home and my plan remains safely there.
I’ll not be concerned, I have the first step memorized: I fall to my knees in prayer.
What profession do you admire most and why?
The profession I admire most and let me tell you why.
The well-rounded, just git’er done, universal, regular guy.

He can repair most any broken thing by applying some elbow grease.
This profession is on the wane, its membership is in decline.
Don’t worry , the group’s international president can fix the problem without even trying.
How would you describe yourself to someone?
I’m not originally from here, I was born out of state, my parents aren’t from here too.
I am in good health, I’m a bit short for my weight, my favorite color is blue.
I’m third in the birth order, I can write in cursive, I’ve had the measles, mumps and the flu.
I do things when I get a round to it, my methods are tried and true.
I have a younger brother, born after me, of sisters we have two.
For me that’s about all there is, now tell me, what about you.
