Yes.
For some reason my mother's side of the family can't pass a construction site without pausing and looking for an hour or two. It bugs me.
Do debates about the nature of reality and the knowable fascinate you?
Yes.

Yes.
You didn't answer about theology.
I said yes
Theology does fascinate me.
Do clouds fascinate you? Did they ever?
Oh sorry.
Yes, all the time.
Do you find 60s-era folk music as interesting as delta blues?
No, but I'm not super into either one.
Do you ever lose track of current music, and just explore older things? Do you ever keep track at all?
I don't keep track and listen almost exclusively to youtube music while playing on my Ipad.
What is your first memory?
I was about five or six and I was wandering around my father's large backyard which was full of yellow sourgrass flowers. I'm not actually sure if that's the earliest because I have other similarly blurry memories but I have no idea of their chronology. I really don't have a lot of memories of my childhood left at all, for some weird reason I literally woke up one morning in middle school and it felt like it had all happened to someone else, and it's been that way ever since.
Same question.

It's hard to say. I may have had a religious experience during my baptism, although it's hard to imagine an infant remembering something. One really cool early thing I do remember when I toddled home one day to find my mother crying about something; I asked her why, and she said that Winston Churchill had died. I guess the wartime was a part of her youth and she felt sentimental about the milestone. I remember especially that she said Winston Churchill because it's a weird name to a kid, and at first I thought she said that Winnie the Pooh had died. (Oh God!). It's a cool story because Churchill was, you know, a Victorian soldier who had fought in the Boer War and against the Mahdi army and all that long before he was Prime Minister, so that memory sort of links my personal experience on earth with that now remote-ish time in history.
Will Queen Elizabeth II ever die?

Never.
Have you ever become spontaneously obsessed with something outside your usual range of interests?

Pike, Isis are a threat for WW3 because they are a great casus belli.

Why does every physics assignment begin with "Imagine a..."?
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
Physics teachers are John Lennon fans, I don't know.
What level of tolerance do you have for sappy sentiment?
About 40% As you grow older maudlin sentiment looks better and better through bifocals...
Will you just get older, or grow up?
