In 1960, most of us rolled our little B&W TVs around on a cart (one per household)!!! I bet he'd have a smart phone now!!!!!!!!

* How old are you: 39
* Favorite color: blue
* Pets: none, I'm not really a pet person; I recall having my cousin's guinea pig (?) in my room as a kid for a few days when she was away. I kept complaining about the smell
* Sunrise or Sunset: I almost never see either. I need to fix that at some point.
* Ocean or Mountains: the sound and sight of lapping waves are Last month I went to the mountains for the second time in my conscious life (the first two stays were in the early childhood, and I don't really remember anything) and the views, despite the suboptimal weather were great. So it's a draw, I guess.
* Favorite food: hard to pick one; my mother's lecso comes to mind first; I could eat any amount
* Favorite pie: cherry pie, I guess, mostly because I like cherries; I'm intrigued by meat pies eaten in some Engish-speaking countries; we don't have that in Poland (to my knowledge)
* Steak or Seafood: steak
* Italian or Chinese: Italian for language, toss-up in terms of food
* Chocolate or Vanilla: I snack on chocolate as often as I can, but I prefer vanilla in my ice-cream
* How many tattoos: none

* Stayed in the hospital: a few times, last stay as a teenager
* Favorite season: I like warm weather, but without sweltering heat, so spring
* Broken Bones: none,

I was a fairly unadventurous (*cough* boring *cough*) child
