Q & A Day

 Q: How do you entertain yourself /How do you relax? 

I am choosing to answer these questions together, because they are the same, as far as I'm concerned. Reading, writing and watching movies, and listening to music, are all ways in which I entertain myself these days, depending on how I feel. They also are the ways I relax. 

I can't tell you how many times, especially with writing, where I've spent hours, and I've lost complete track of time. Writing has become my number one go-to these days. Although, I often do so while I listen to music in the background. Take a break from writing, when a particularly favorite song is playing. Music is transformative to me. I usually return to where I was when I listened to a song. 

Reading is something I do to expand my mind. I lean toward nonfiction and self-help titles but am not opposed to reading books if they can hold my attention. ONE by Richard Bach is a favorite of mine. You should check it out. I am currently getting ready to read some of his other words. If you are wondering, I am a member of a Library of Congress program, which has a "books on tape "offering for people with disabilities. Although I must admit, I do miss the tactile experience I got from actual books: even if the new way is cheaper! 

Movies are just my "mindless escape ", that I only turn to, as a last resort. Often I choose titles that I have already seen but don't remember until I'm halfway through them. It's alright though, seldom can I remember how they end. Ah, the glories of old age!

Q: If someone were to make a movie about your life, who would play you? 

A: That would depend on if I were to select someone based on their looks, or because I like them as an actor. I go back and forth between Al Pacino and Kevin Costner. 

In my younger days, I would often be told, that I looked like Al Pacino. Maybe because my hair was dark and my nose was big. My hair is nowhere as dark these days, and I didn't outgrow that big nose thing. Anyway, the question wasn't, which actor do I most look like. It simply was, who would play me 

In that case, I would have to choose Kevin Costner, if I had the choice. 

Kevin Costner has become one of my favorite actors and strikes me as the kind of person, that studies the person he is portraying. 

I have enjoyed his work throughout the years!
