Happy Sunday!


Today’s Question(s):

When was the last time you traveled by air?

Memorial Day weekend, 2011.


Where did you travel and what did you do there?

To and from New York City, to visit a friend.


Do you have any vacation plans this year that will involve flying?

I don't have anything planned, though I often pull up travel websites just to fantasize going somewhere new and exciting.


If you won’t be flying for vacation this year, how do you plan to travel instead?

If I go anywhere, it'll be close enough to drive.


Extra Credit Question:

It is said that the pun is the lowest form of humor. It is also said that the shortest distance between two puns is a straight line. Are you a punster?

Occasionally .....


If so, what is your favorite pun?

I don't have a favorite -- they just pop out every now and then.


Bonus Question:

Have you ever visited the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington DC?

I don't think it had been erected the one and only time I toured Washington. The times I've been there subsequently were just to visit friends, so there was no sightseeing.


Are any of the names etched on its surface those of people you knew or are related to?

Not as far as I know.


Just for Fun:

It’s National Hoagie Day! When was the last time you had a hoagie?
