1) resistance isn't Feudal... or virtually any other form of governance. What is resistance good for, aside from keeping us from colliding at random moments far more often?

Resistance is what you need to work against to strengthen yourself. You can't grow without overcoming boundaries; they resist you, and you push against them.

2) Why do you love to dance?
Looks good, feels good, I want to Move it Move it, and it is one of the marks of a true Gentleman.

3) What is your favorite pastime?
By analysis, procrastination. By predilection, reading. By preference, teaching...really teaching, not kid minding in school.

4) Who would you most like to meet, past or present personage?
The circumstances of the meeting make a great difference, and how long I would get to converse, and what limits are on our interaction. Do I get to look through their sketchbook? Am I allowed to record any of the meeting, or is only a true dream for me? Is there real risk for me? Benjamin Franklin, William Shakespear (we know so little about him), Sue when she was alive--what color was she? (Sue the Tyrannasauros Rex).

5) What is your favorite music to sing and why?
Anything I can. Whatever catches my fancy at the moment. But...It's got to have a bass part in it. Favorite song is probably Willin'; favorite to sing solo (or drunken) would be "Barrett's Privateers"

I'm not convinced resistance is futile, but ask away...

Good morning!

Thanks! I've posted my replies in my journal. If you feel like answering more questions:

1) If you hadn't have found the SCA (or it wasn't there to have been found), what activity/ies do you think would have filled that niche in your life?

2) What is your couchsurfing user name?

3) Where will you travel next, and what method will you use to get there?

4) If you could choose any teaching position you wanted, what sort of school would it be, for what age range, and what subject(s) would you teach?

5) Are there opportunities for dancing that I shouldn't miss the week after Boar Hunt when I'm at the geology conference in SF?
