Friday five on a sunday

1) If you could be either a fish or a bird, which would you be, and why?
A bird. If I were to live in the sea, I'd want to be a sea mammal-- a dolphin or whale.
I saw a heron today at the dog park. Swift, silent, majestic in its flight. I'd be a heron and eat fish.

2) Would you rather it be 10 degrees too hot or 10 degrees too cold? (Does your answer change if that’s indoors or outdoors?)
10 degrees too cold. I love snuggling under blankets. I hope this heat breaks. Applies both in- and outdoors.

3) What is the best thing that happened to you today?
Seeing the heron!

4) Is youth wasted on the young? (Follow-up: are you old or young?)
I'm not sure what this means; if it means health and vitality, well, not all young people have that, and some old people do. I'm in my 30s and many 60-somethings are more healthy and energetic than I.

5) Pasta salad or potato salad?
Pasta salad!
