January 27, 2018, Prescott-
I have been nominated for two awards, since establishing Sagittarian Seeker. One, is a Liebster Award, on which I will comment tomorrow, after a long wait. The other is a Sunshine Blogger Award, bestowed upon me by the estimable Madekesiworld. So, without further ado, here are my answers to his questions!
1. Which country do you come from?
The United States of America
2. What’s your national language?
English
3. What’s your country’s staple food?
Potatoes and corn
4. Apart from blogging, what else do you do?
I work with autistic teens and young adults; I study a financial planning course; I hike; I practice the Baha’i Faith; I read; I socialize with people in coffee houses; I exercise at Planet Fitness;
5. Would you get married to someone outside your race?
There is only the human race, but yes-most definitely.
6. Do you watch football? If yes, what’s your favorite team?
Once in a blue moon. The Patriots, because my late uncle had a financial interest in them and besides, I am a New Englander-even in diaspora.
7. Do you think nations should do more to manage global warming?
I believe nations, and their citizens, should do more to stem climate change.
8. Christian or Muslim? What’s the one thing you love about the other religion?
I am a Baha’i. I believe that Divine Revelation is never final. I love the commitment that the majority of both Christians and Muslims have to the Teachings of their respective Manifestations of God, which, contrary to public perceptions, include injunctions to practice peace.
9. Which is your favorite music genre?
Contemporary rock and folk.
10. Which music genre do you hate the most? Why?
Death metal, because it is so negative.
11. Who would you choose between Donald Trump and North Korea’s Kim Jung-un?
Trump, because there is a peaceful mechanism in place, by which he can be removed from office.
So, here we are, with my questions to those, who will be named below.
- Which languages, other than English, do you speak?
- Which is your favourite place in the world?
- In that place, which is your favourite spot, in which to spend time?
- Do you see life as “half empty” or as “half full”?
- Do you dream in colour?
- What do you regard as the greatest challenge facing mankind, today?
- Do you honour, or despise, those who think differently from you?
- In what are you experienced?
- If you could visit any place on Earth where you have never been, where would that be? Why?
- Do you have a pet? Which kind of animal is it?
- What is your favourite genre of literature?
Now, here is my list of nominees. I can only list nine, as the rest of you have your blogs off of hyperlink.
Interesting answers. I’ve never heard of Baha’i religion though.
Congratulations!

Great answers, I looked up the Baha’i faith, if everyone believed the same that would dissolve a lot of friction; I’m going to have to adopt that as mine too! Love the human race answer, couldn’t agree more.
Whoa! Thanks for the nomination!! Very honored for thinking of me : )

In my best Uerkle, ‘did I do thaaat?’ Hmn, I wonder about your take on the question dt/kji – it seems you choose the underpinnings of the system versus the character opportunity between the people. Congratulations of course 🙂

Yes, I chose the underpinnings of the system, as that’s all we have going for us, at present.

I was wondering how and why you started working with autistic teens and young adults? My youngest is non-verbal autistic with epilepsy. I always think people who work with them are such blessings.

I began working with autistic people this year, after a year of working with ED students. As to why- I am mildly autistic/Asperger’s, and feel a bond with these folks. I have been able to live a fairly “mainstreamed” life- Master’s Degree, marriage until my wife passed, raised a son to maturity and have been fairly successful in my work.
