    Do you ever see wild animals?

    What’s your favorite cartoon?

    My favorite cartoon used to be the Simpsons. But then I got older and the writing on the Simpsons changed. Then I became a Family Guy lover. But then my tastes and interests changed again!

    Now I would have to go with some of the cartoons that I would watch as a child since I don’t watch much animated flicks anymore. That was stuff like the Looney Tunes (or Warner Bros) animation. Those animations were so funny now that I watch as an adult. It’s amazing how some of the classics have a timeless appeal.

    (Special shout out does go to anime like Dragon Ball Z.)

    Do you have a favorite place you have visited? Where is it?

    This might be a short entry, but the place that I really enjoyed has been Budapest, Hungary. I’ve gone there for a conference these past 2 springs. It’s been a fresh change of pace from being in New York City.

    I recommend that you go and visit, especially in the springtime. It’s beautiful and the Danube River that bisects the Buda and Pest sections of the city is a symbol of the tranquility that Hungary now enjoys after years of turmoil under Soviet oppression.

    What is your favorite place to go in your city?

    I don’t have a particular place. I live in New York City, and there are many beautiful, scenic places that exist. For me, my favorite places are normally those where I am at ease and in peace.

    It could be somewhere along the West Side Highway where you can see the New Jersey coastline. Or, it could be in Bowling Green where the ferry to Staten Island docks. Or it could be in Macombs Dam Park across the street from Yankee Stadium.

    Bottom line, it’s anywhere that I can find serenity. So that goes back to what resonates calm and peace for me.

    Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why?

    When it comes to these to geographic classifications, I do not hesitate. I was born in the summer, and prefer warmer weather. For these basic two reasons I prefer the beach.

    In the ideal circumstance, the beach is preferable because more often than not it’s an enjoyable backdrop especially when it is sunny and warm outside. The water is always pleasant and a couple of degrees cooler than the air temperature.

    The one drawback that I find with the beach is that the sand tends to get in your shoes when you walk on it. That is the one unpleasant feeling that I encounter whenever I go to the beach.

    Notwithstanding that one drawback, i would go with the beach over the mountains 60% of the time.

    What are your family’s top 3 favorite meals?

    Our family has been blessed to celebrate meals together over the years. Now that my sister and I are grown and my dad, it has imperative that we take these opportunities that we have with each other. We don’t have particular dishes that we cook; we eat out. But there are times throughout the year where we convene frequently.

    These are

    • My Dad’s birthday
    • Christmas
    • Thanksgiving

    Those dates listed above are more significant to me than what we eat. The people around us make the occasion memorable. I’m fortunate to have those people (family and friends) with me on those special holidays. They make the experience worthwhile.

    Do you trust your instincts?

    I wish I could say that I do, but I don’t. I am thinker and I tend to do it too much. Sometimes it gets to a point of paralysis, because I want to have my decision be validated immediately. Unfortunately, life doesn’t work that way.

    I need to be more cognizant of my instincts and trust them. The times where I DID NOT trust my instincts, I made the wrong decision. And I’ve suffered the consequences from the decision.

    If I’m going to be a successful entrepreneur, which is my life goal, I must be trust my instincts. Simple and plain.
