28. Do you write in cursive?
Yep. It's more difficult than it was, thanks to the muscular dystrophy, but I still do.

29. If you could witness any event of the past, present, or future, what would it be?
Anything? Wow... Okay:

The first powered flight by man.

The first powered flight was Henri Giffard's steam-powered airship in 1852. On Sept. 24, 1852, Giffard traveled almost 17 miles (27 kilometers) from Paris to Trappes moving at about 6 miles per hour (10 kilometers/hour). His airship could be steered only in calm weather, though. In wind, it could fly only in slow circles.

I'd also want to see the Wright Brothers' first flights in 1903, but that first powered flight by airship? Can you imagine?

30. Do you have a favorite painting? (Post a picture?) Possibly:



But I have a weakness for most of the Impressionists.

31. Do you swear a lot?
Not as much as I used to.
