I wouldn’t say so. I’m a little more likely to burn. Did you like peeling off your sunburned skin when you were a kid? ---

Yes! But my mom always told me not to ☹ Are you tanned now? ---

I have a little bit of a glow from being out in the spring sunshine, but not deeply tanned by any means. Do you always use sunblock? ---

Never. I’m dark skinned and I’ve never been burned. I know I should anyway, but… meh. Do you drink wine? ETA: Damn! I like swimming… don’t go out of my way to do it. ---

Yes, I love a good red wine with dinner. But I’m mostly a beer guy if there’s no food around. Like beer? ---

No, but I have lived less than 5 miles from another country. Canada. I lived in a border town. Ever played Craps? ---

No. I’m not a casino-game kinda guy. Ever seen the movie _Breaker Morant_, a favorite of mine? ---

No. I really should have by now, but I never did. Do you dread going to the dentist? ---

Not really, but I go way to seldom. Is the Swine Flu a sign of the Apocalypse 🙂 ---

No more than the existence of Amy Winehouse. So… yeah, probably 😉 Would Superman win in a street brawl with Batman? ---

Unquestionably. No amount of preparation would save Batman in a head-to-head brawl with Superman. Do you have a favorite superhero? ---

Yes, quite a bit as a kid. My parents even considered cauterization to stop them, but thank God they thought better of it. Nowadays I can go years without having a nosebleed. Are you in the process of reading more than two books now? ---

Not really but I always have bookmarks in several books other than the one I’m currently reading I intend to ‘go back to’ - usually non-fiction. I stick faithfully to the novels unless they’re really bad. Have you ever seen a professional ballet performance?
