morlock  also posed me some posers.  Answers below.  Let me know if you'd like to play, too.

1) what medications do you take?

I take medicine as needed for whatever happens to ail me.  As a matter of course, this means that most days I take Adderol for my ADD.

2) why do you like gaming even after all these years?

Well, there’s always the element of escapism, though that’s much less of a factor now than formerly.  I adore storytelling and acting, though, so that’s always a draw.  Plus, problem solving is fun, as is working as part of a team of peers.  Not to mention, the challenge of making the game statistics reflect the character in your head.  And, finally, the joy of surprise and discovery, such as when your friends come up with something completely unexpected, and the adventure goes off who knows where, and we all have to scramble to follow.  Watching you play Skitt, for example, is a treat, because he’s devious, ruthless, and secretive, and also someone who just takes risks to fulfill his responsibilities without batting an eye.

3) how is married life treating you?

Pretty well.  M is my favorite person in the world, we understand each other in profound ways, and often find that we think and feel alike.

4) do you still enjoy owning a home?

Yes.  The adventure of setting up my space my way has cooled a bit, but that’s as much a matter of time pressing as anything.  And I like this house.

5) do you like your life?

I am often able to do as I please, which is great.  As I approach 40, I find myself considering what my life will be like in 5, 10, 20, 30 or more years, and I find that I must start living now to make the life I will want then.  Which is another way of saying that when I think about my current circumstances, or about the possible adventures ahead, yes.  When I think about the years of my life that I squandered, it’s hard to get out of bed.
