Trevor asked me some very interesting questions, which I answered below. If you'd like me to interview you, leave a comment to that effect and I'll ask you some questions.

1. What's the most striking difference in Boulder today compared to when you were in high school?The development out on North Broadway makes me do a little mental double-take ( Read more... )

Ok, here are some questions. By the way, I forgot to say that the number of questions in this particular version of the meme is always five.

Kelly:
1. In what ways would Catholicism have to change for you to go back to it?
2. What do you believe happens to people when they die? Is there something that lives on?
3. How do you think having completed an engineering degree informs how you think about ministry, if at all?
4. If money were no object, where would you like to live right now?
5. What do you hope to think when you look back on this time five years from now?

I'd love some questions.

Trevor:
1. What do you think made Kaleigh such a good mentor for your high school group?
2. How do you answer people when they say something like, "Wow, I've never met anyone who actually grew up here! What was it like to grow up in Boulder?"
3. What rituals are important to your day-to-day life?
4. If it were up to you, how would you arrange the laws about marriage/civil union (broadly defined)?
5. How does constant internet access change people's creative process?

(Oops, the "Trevor:" is because I was copy/pasting, not because I'm addressing you with a colon, which for some reason seems like an awkward thing to do.)

Yeah, I love actually having less vacation than many/most people, with the assumption that I have more. :P

maggiedacatt December 17 2009, 06:45:45 UTC

And I'll be interviewed! :)

Ok, here are five questions. (The magic number in this version is five.)

1. When you attempt to explain your research to someone entirely outside your field, do you think that the fact that it's well-known in popular literature makes it easier (because people have more to latch onto) or harder (because they have more misconceptions)? (Or something else entirely?)
2. What did you not anticipate about parenthood, despite everything everyone certainly told you?
3. How does constant internet access change people's creative process?
4. How would you compare and contrast living on the east cost, west coast, and middle?
5. Instrument time is probably really expensive, but have you ever been in the fMRI? If so, what did you learn? If not, would you want to, and what would you want to look at?
