"If [Questions For The Game of Life]"

If is described as coffee table book of questions designed to spark the imagination. It consists of five hundred questions that all start out “If…” The authors of the book state, “If… can be a wonderful after-dinner parlor game; it can serve as an icebreaker between new acquaintances; it can even help you better understand yourself, your dreams and aspirations, and the mysteries of life.”

Perhaps it would allow to share more about myself with others. To make me consider things I hadn't intended. Or, to make me learn more about myself. And, so, I was inspired to see if I could answer a page a week.

This week’s questions:

If you could have one person from history live his or her full life over again, starting now, who would you pick?

I would love to watch Pasty Cline relive her life. Patsy Cline died at the young age of 30, though her mature voice still fool many into thinking she died later in life. I would love to hear her as her voice and songs matured. If at 25 she sang with a voice that echoed the hurts of lifetime ... what would she sound like in her later years?

If you could have witnessed one event in history, what would you want to have seen?

There are really too many to narrow down. Martin Luther King Jr. “I have a dream speech; the tearing down of the Berlin Wall; the first moon launch; Honestly, I am unsure if I could choose one ... So, I will pick something completely random and say I wish to be at the first radio broadcast. Radio plays such an important part of my life every day.

If one of your parents was to be a famous person from any time in history, who would you want them to be?

I would have liked it if my father was F. Scott Fitzgerald. It would have been amazing to have a father of such wonderful writing and works. Then again, I would have loved to have such authors of those calibers as a parent.

If you could receive one small package this very moment, who would you want it to be from and what would be in it?

I would love to receive a package from my sister, Leanne, and it wouldn't matter what was inside.

Well, those are the answers this week for the questions. Feel free to share your answers, questions, or thoughts.
