If… (Week 118)

This is week 118 in my personal “If… Project” in which I answer questions from the book “If… (Questions for the Game of Life)”

There are 125 pages of this book, each with four questions. I plan to take one page each week and answer the questions as thoroughly and honestly as I am able. In addition, I invite you to answer the questions along with me, whether it be in the comments section, your own personal blog, or just within your own thoughts.

Perhaps in doing so, we will get to know each other better, but even more importantly, get to know ourselves better.

This week’s questions:

If you could have the autograph of one person from history, who would it be?

Walt Disney. But it has to be one that I received in person, and with a personalized message as well. Not just the name.

If you could have any view from your home, what would it be of?

Can I be selfish and ask for four views? One from each direction? In one direction I’d like a view of the Magic Kingdom so I can see/hear it whenever I wanted and get a fireworks show every night. In another direction I’d like a tropical island view looking out at the ocean with palm trees and mountains (a la Hawaii). In another direction I’d like a view as if from a highrise in midtown Manhattan. And from my fourth view I would like something epic like a Rocky Mountain or Grand Canyon sort of western untouched terrain view with no signs of human interference.

If you could have asked Richard Nixon one thing, what would you have asked?

I don’t have anything I’d like to ask Richard Nixon. (when was this book written?)

If you could have the world’s largest collection of one thing, what would it be?

At one point in my early 20s I had a collection of Pez dispensers that totaled over 300 unique ones. I’ve since gotten rid of all of them, and haven’t really fallen in love with anything to the point of wanting to collect.

Those are my answers to this week’s questions. What are yours?
