Today's Question(s):
Would you rather go toward crowds or away from them? Away. Far, FAR, away. Like, loner far.

Tell us any place(s) you like to be alone or just with one or a few others: All places I like to be alone. But my home, camping, traveling - enjoy with family.

Tell us any place(s) you like for there to be a crowd: NYC needs people. Las Vegas needs people. I like no people beaches. Flagler Beach north of the pier is one of my favorite no crowd beaches. When I went to Waikiki Beach and Orient Beach, without crowds there would not of been the ambiance of those iconic beaches.


Foodie Questions:
What type of national cuisines, like French, Chinese, etc., have you not tried, but would like to? I've tried all of the more well known international cuisines. I know there are lots to try, too many to name.

If you were going to a restaurant this weekend with a menu based on a national cuisine,
what kind would you choose, of any nationality? Chinese. All day, every day.


Just for fun:

It's all in good fun. Can you give us an example of something you think is a stupid guy thing? Flexing in the mirror. Even for a flash trying to feel manly like that, lame. I shake my head at myself every time I do it. I've done it a lot in 57 years. Sad Stupid Guy Thing.

Have a great day all!!

Away

Tell us any place(s) you like to be alone or just with one or a few others:

I like to be alone when taking photos from my car. Nothing personal, I just need the seat next to me for my camera stuff.

Tell us any place(s) you like for there to be a crowd: Nowhere, really.


Foodie Questions:

Swiss.

I prefer Italian but I haven't been to a German restaurant in a long time so I'm going to choose German. I would really like some sauerbraten with German potato dumplings.

Boxing perplexes me as a sport. Just like walking for the sake of walking rather than walking to get to a particular destination, hitting someone repeatedly as a sport rather than for a reason, like the guy deserves it/did you wrong, is just stupid to me.

It's all in good fun. Can you give us an example of something you think is a stupid guy thing? I used to have a neighbor across the street who would go out in the morning to get the newspaper dressed only in his boxers. He didn't care who saw him, either. Thankfully, he and his very dysfunctional family moved away.

Enjoy your Friday Eve!

Today's Question(s):
Would you rather go toward crowds or away from them?
Away, most likely,although my answer would depend on why the crowd has gathered. If they're giving away free $100 bills, I'd join the crowd.

At home, at the beach or on a nature walk.
Tell us any
place(s) you like for there to be a crowd:
New Year's Eve, although I'll probably be watching the crowds on TV from the comfort of my sofa.

Foodie Questions:
What type of national cuisines, like French, Chinese, etc., have you not tried, but would like to?
Ethiopian, Brazilian
If you were going to a restaurant this weekend with a menu based on a national cuisine,
