Q1: The Lorax. It has a powerful environmental message and come on, thneeds, truffula trees, grickle grass, miffed muffered moof - it's the bomb!
Q2: Hmm, I can't even fathom how much money that actually is. I would definitely make my parents retire and give them whatever they wanted. I would make my brother a millionaire, pay off my close friend's debt, travel the world, become a generous philanthropist and give to non-profits that stand for education, the environment, service learning, social justice, etc., and create a state-of-the-art sustainable living farm in Colorado.
Q3: As for my favorite dance move, I would opt for the Shimmy so I could say I shimmied with the best of 'em on dance floors all over the world.
Q4: I will hike a 14er with close friends while remembering the generally unrecognized who helped build this country from the ground up including, but not limited to African Americans, Chinese, Hispanics, women, etc. Let us not forget that the incredible country we live in today depended heavily on the blood, sweat, and tears of the exploited!
1) Green Eggs & Ham because in elementary school we actually MADE green eggs and ham... can you tell I'm still excited about that? ;)
2) I'd live of the interest and buy anything that caught my eye as long as it was interest I was spending.
3) I'd stand in one place for a REALLY long time. Thus building the anticipation and excitment for when I, the best dancer in the world, actually started dancing.
4) Poker Tourney!
1. The Lorax. I think it was the trees that did it for me.
2. Give some of it to my parents, help my sister out on college expenses, get a better place to live.
3. Uh, all of them?
4. Relaxing.
1 - The Grinch or The Cat in the Hat. (Notice how none of them really starred girls? So I wasn't that much into them.)
2 - Did you ever see the movie Heathers? Well, that scene in the lunch room where they are taking a poll, that is what this question reminds me of.
3 - Baryshnikov, Pavlova, Nuryev, Duncan, Peter Martin, Gelsey Kirkland, Janey Parker, Gregory Hines, Jerome Robbins, Bob Fosse: The greatest dancers have a certain style, but no signature "move."
4 - It's Independence Day this weekend?
1. Green Eggs and Ham. What a yummy meal.. breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
2. Share it amongst my family (so mom and sister can quit their jobs), take a vacation to the Galapagos Islands, donate some to help rescued kitties, and celebrate with an ice cold Diet Coke.
3. Something very graceful.. some type of ballet move.
4. Going to a party Sunday, spending time with family on Monday. (Call in sick Tuesday??? )
1. I like The Grinch Who Stole Christmas...in the end his heart grows and understands what love is.
2. If I won a billion dollars, I'd first pay off any and all debt of my own, family and friends. Let my parents retire and give them whatever they needed. Buy houses for all my sisters. And start some type of charitable/philanthropic organization. Travel.
3. I'd try and be the best swing dancer in the world. I love the music and all the moves.
4. I went to a wedding. But we took time out to remember the 4th and all those who fought for our Independence. I love America!!
1. Green Eggs and Ham ... rhymes
2. Invest and travel
3. Whichever move made my wife go uh huh I like that
4. Swim, ski on the water, watch someone waste thousands of dollars in gunpowder for my ocular enjoyment
1. "The Lorax" is my favorite Dr. Seuss book of all time. While I may have run across it as a child, it wasn't until I started working as an outdoor educator--in 1991--that I fully came to appreciate the Lorax's message. Each week for an entire year I read "The Lorax" (and even performed it some) in front of 6th-8th graders from across New England. "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing's going to get better... it's not!"
2. If I won a billion dollars... let's see... I'd do the same as most everyone else... pays off all of my bills and debts in their entirety; distribute significant amounts among close and distant family and friends (more than enough for each to be able to do the same for themselves as I'd done for myself); support causes that pull on my heart, especially those which benefit children, families, adults, and animals down on their luck; establish a trust fund providing a healthy annual salary for myself and my loved ones; and, start a series of well-funded business and not-for-profit organizations.
3. Anything which was a turn-on for the ladies.
4. I celebrated Independence Day in northeastern-Pennsylvania with three wonderful people. We had a late breakfast together, followed by a drive out to this great soft-serve ice cream stand. Later in the day I started my drive back to Indianapolis. Just outside of Youngstown, Ohio, at around 9:00 p.m. or so, I saw all sorts of fireworks shows. All-in-all, it was a great Forth of July!
