Re: Getaways - looks like a visit to the all new and improved Luxembourg is in order. (There better be shuttle service from the parking lot.) Apart from that, maybe a short trip to Montreal.

In retail I can't count on any regular days off, but I always enjoy it when I have a Sunday off. I'm not particularly religious, but it's kind of a de facto Family Day for us. Plus, there's usually some choice sporting events on no matter what time of the year it is.
Actual Payment Before Monday,
If you could change careers to any one of your choice (within reason), what would it be and why?

Lately, I have been seriously thinking about opening up a comic book store in my town ... since moving to my quaint little hamlet, I have "fallen in love" with the idea of being a shopkeeper ... walking to work, going to Chamber of Commerce meetings, chasing noisy kids out of my shop, etc. ... working in education has become far too muddied lately ... it feels as though most people's priorities are way out of wack ... I long for something far, far simpler ...
APBM,

Probably become a historian. I've always loved history and when I read books on various historic subjects, I love looking at the picures of original source material.
APBM,
Do you think that people that say "Same Question" are too lazy to think of their own question?
or
You can answer the same question as the last several.

Well, as an occasional user of the "same question" tact, for me it's driven by the fact that I think it's a question interesting enough to warrant more opinions than just my own.
Astonishing Points 'Bout Myself,
What question do you have a perfect answer for that you just wish someone would ask you?

Does it take you very long to think up phrases that start with "A.P.B.M."?

Oddly, they are two sides of the same coin.
Most - my attention to detail. It has really helped me to advance quickly in my field.
Least - my obsessive need to record and catalogue details. If you could see some of the hundreds of ridiculous spreadsheets I've maintained... for personal use!
Animal Planet Boxing Match,
If you were lost in the wilderness and stumbled upon a wild animal, would you prefer it be a lion, a tiger, or a bear... and why?

I would say you're just screwed if you come upon either of the cats. At least with the bear, thre may be a slight chance of escape.

I was wandering around Paris and wound up in a run-down semi-industrial area which really didn't look very safe to me, even in the daytime. Rather than turn around (lost...) I just kept walking. The only thing that happened was I caught my feet in one of those plastic straps used on containers and fell flat on my face on the pavement.
A Possibly Beatific Moment,
If you saw someone walking on water, what would you think?
You can go back in time and meet with your younger self. What would you say to yourself?
