April 6 - What was the last take-out meal you ordered?

2014 - Panda Express - orange chicken, chicken with mushrooms and 1/2 chow mein, 1/2 mixed veggies

2015 - Sushi from a new (to us) place. It was ok.

2016 - I think it was from Hotdog-on-a-Stick in Glendale unless Starbucks at LAX counts - entered June 9

Q&A: Inspiring

April 5 - ________ was inspiring.

2014 - "something" - Not sure. Feel bad about this answer.

2015 - The video at the beginning of the Easter Service. (2018 note: Wish I'd written down more here.)

2016 - I'm not sure. I feel bad about this answer, too. - entered June 8

2017 - That Menchies email. I really need Menchies.

2018 - I think the kids in Parkland, for one. I'm inspired that more and more people are finally pushing back hard against stupidity. I have hope for November.

Hopefully you're more inspired than me. Get inspired, get the book: Q&A A Day: 5 Year Journal

I also wish you'd buy this book. Or a boat. Just click on this link so that Amazon gives me credit for the sale. Q&A A Day: 5 Year Journal

Q&A: Funtastic

April 3 - Did you have fun today? Because?

2014 - Yes. The mood is improving at work and the children were well-behaved this evening.

2015 - It was OK. Worked from home. Cleaned up a bunch in family room.

2016 - I amused myself. I think I'm clever. - entered June 7

2017 - Yes. Played a little Call of Duty. Did horribly, though. Playstation is definitely smoother than Xbox. - entered April 27

2018 - Not yet. It's 7:15. I've only been up 90 minutes and my daughter's being crabby. Otherwise I've mostly just exercised and gotten some responsibilities done.

Have fun, they said. Buy this book, they said. I don't know who "they" are, but they sound wise. Q&A A Day: 5 Year Journal
