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"

1. Anything with swooshy skirts. I'm really not a fan of dancing in hoops, which is yet another reason why I shall never work Dickens Fair. The last period ball I attended in hoops was a Civil War re-enactors guild annual function. We were all polkaing merrily about when my aunt Holly collapsed in gales of laughter, yammering something about looking like "a bunch of bloody bumper cars."

2. I have not seen said rendition. It is loading now. I've never fully grasped the appeal of the Bohemian Rhapsody, as I was raised in a cave (figuratively) and missed that entire decade. Beaker's Ode *is* excellent, I agree.

3. Lynne Herkimer, nee Ellison, teaches high school chemistry in Aromas (S of Gilroy) and is teaching a two-week intersession course in dance. As I understand she has 36 students signed up and is looking for anyone who would like to come and teach their favorite variety of dance for a day. Naturally, I thought of you. Her email is ellison21@hotmail.com. I would have given her your contact information, only I don't have any. She can also be contacted at eight three one, seven two six, two three three eight. I've warned her that you'll likely be in touch.

4. My favorite discovered food in Japan was a local specialty called okonomiaki. It's like eating the Japanese Flying Spaghetti/Cabbage Monster!!!

Hysterical video, but doesn't include the regional favorite ingredient of Chinese noodles. Beware asking for pancakes in Hiroshima - you'll be served okonomiaki.

5. Steampunk: I would, and often do, take the role of amused spectator. Steampunk is cool to look at and I am grateful for those who turn out to amuse me and mine, but I just can't seem to get myself worked up about it.
