If I only had a choice of 3 things to eat for the rest of my life, I’d have to say soup, bananas and seafood. I’d choose soup because there’s a  lot of different kinds and it’s usually made with the water that I would need to survive. I would want at least one fruit to satisfy my sweet tooth and for the fiber in it. And since seafood and fish is supposedly our brain food, I would need to keep sharp to convince myself why I’m only eating 3 different foods for the rest of my life! Or maybe I should go with chocolate, lobster and beer!

Having a child is something I thought would never happen to me in my lifetime. And why is that unusual, since none of my other brothers and sisters have contributed to continuing the family name but to actually have the first born. Not only was my mother the most thankful but it was the greatest expectation and longest 9 months of my life. And it was the most beautiful experience seeing him leave my wife’s body and coming to life! All the beautiful places in the world that I’ve seen and all the wonderful people I’ve met in my life, can’t compare to him!

If I could only win the lottery, life would be better for so many more people than myself. I often wondered about all the people with their millions and wondered why they thought they needed to have that much money?  Share the wealth, I say!  Why go to your grave and leave it behind to the lawyers and others that are only going to want to hold on to it and actually want even more! I honestly think if they shared more with others, the world would be a lot happier place to live. So if I won, the idea of sharing it with others would definitely put a smile on my face!

As tradition goes, we all have the great memories of being with our families during Christmas and other holidays. Our family didn’t really didn’t have too many together but if there’s something I can pass on to others close to me that I would consider a tradition would be the discipline I got from my mother and father. Some people believe it’s good to enlist in the military to learn discipline but I got it right at home. And now I’m passing on the importance of being polite, considerate, well-mannered and thoughtful of others and I have to admit, most do admire me for the way I carry myself and how I treat others!

Having traveled half-way around the globe, there’s many magnificent places I could dream of going to for my honeymoon but I chose Costa Rica. Not so bad, you say? Well it wasn’t my first choice since I actually live there now but all my friends were jealous. As it would happen, my young beautiful wife was scheduled to work so we decided to spend it close to home but with the intention of continuing on to another place sometime in the future. So we continued in Panama later the same year. It was her first time out of her own country, how nice!

My greatest achievement would have to be the fact that I avoided settling down with only one partner until after 50 years of age and waiting until then to have my first child! I avoided all the bad things earlier on that I’ve heard all my life like a nagging wife, a boring sex life, pressure trying to keep up with the Smiths and the Jones, having children and not knowing if I’d have the money to raise them or strength and fortitude to deal with life in general. My little boy just turned 1 month today and I couldn’t be more happy!

If I lived underwater for a couple of years, I think I would prefer to be seaweed growing out in the middle somewhere not too close to any coral. Since the food cycle in the ocean is comprised of living off each other, the weakest and smallest get eaten by the next biggest, seaweed growing away from coral and the eels, I may have a better chance of surviving besides the fact that seaweed seems so calm just waving in the water. I don’t know of anything other than eels that might endanger me, so I think I would have a peaceful life!

My idea of heaven is a place where no one can do you harm, no one can do wrong and everyone is at peace. The light would be soft like a hue, noises would never be too loud, the temperature or weather would not be a factor or having to work to make money. And you could see everyone down below and check in on them but not change their life or actions in any way. You would not know when your family or friends would be leaving the earth so you can at least have some anticipation that you would see them again.
