I used to do these fairly frequently in the early years of this blog, but I see it has been almost two years since the last one.

You know the drill. Answer all questions. Show all work. No cheating off your neighbors. Did you bring a Number 2 penciL? Well, you won�t need it, this is on a computer screen, stupid.

Get at it.

5. Is your overall health and fitness better or worse than it was a year ago?

6. Are your personal finances better or worse than they were a year ago?

7. How�s your love life?

8. Seen any good movies lately? Seen any bad ones? Are you looking forward to any upcoming ones in particular?

9. Will the Republicans lose control of Congress this November or will the Democrats find a way to fumble a clear opportunity?

10. Schools across the country will open up in the next few days and weeks. What was your favorite grade and what teacher had the most positive impact on you?

…but I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up.
