1-Hula Hoop. I can do it now. I didn't think I could still do it, but I could. Of everybody's, mine stayed up the longest.
2-Superman, of course, because I have to be Superman every day running a business. There's always something going on.
3-Listening to 100.7 FM every day. I love the '80s music.
4-We have fun here all the time. But it's fun dressing up for Halloween. I was once a leopard.

1-Playing with mud by a pond and making figures out of clay. I've probably lost that skill. That was in India; what we had to play with was very limited.
2-I love Tin Tin and his adventures, a book from my childhood. He's an Asian cartoon character. He has a dreamworld, There were always problems, and at the end he had the solutions.
3-To explore nature in greater depths, more than what you find in reading. And meditation; you clear your mind, solve problems. I try not to worry to try to reach perfection.
4-Just today, I brought my students to the park for lunch. We had a test, and everyone did well.

1-Sleeping.
2-SuperMan. Because you have to be super when you have two children -- juggling, fast reflexes; children look up to you.
3-Two years ago it was texting. Now it's watching Bubble Guppies on my phone.
4-I have fun everywhere. I'm a smiley person. Halloween was fun because my son came to visit me at work.

1-I don't remember my childhood because I had a brain injury from a car accident and was in a coma. That sort of wiped out my memory.
2-I really don't have a super hero or favorite cartoon.
3-Smoking cigarettes. I wish I could stop.
4-Welding. I love to weld. I worked at American Railcar Industries. That's all we did all day.
