This or That

I like maxi dresses.

Lobster or Crab?

Oo, that's tough. I like both, really. Probably give a slight edge to lobster but it also depends where I am. On my first trip to China to visit/meet my in-laws I swear I had at least half a dozen different varieties of crab. But when my wife lived in Halifax, a walk to a seafood market to get fresh lobster was the thing (though she always mixed up a Chinese crab dip for it).

Watch the movie first or read the novel first?

Read the book.

Indiana Jones of Han Solo?

Yes.😋

Okay, if pressed, Indy is my favourite of the two but I like both and Harrison Ford in general.

Star Wars or Star Trek?

Star Trek, especially The Next Generation episodes.

Sci Fi or historical fiction?

Used to be sci fi but not so sure anymore. Don't read much historical and when I do, it's usually borderline fantasy.

Iced tea sweet or not?

I don't like tea in any form. Hot or iced.

A bowl of ice cream or an ice cream treat on a stick?

Bowl. I like ice cream in any form but the stick stuff gets messy.

Read a novel or a short story anthology?

I like short stories if I don't have much time, but novels for a longer block of time.

A walk on the beach or a walk in the woods?

Walk in the woods. Love sounds of nature and the peace and quiet without the crowds at the beach. Plus, not a sun worshipper.

Classroom, in-person or virtual, on-line college (or other) class?

Depends what I am learning. If it is a subject requiring a lot of interaction, like a philosophy seminar or class, still think a classroom works best. If it is straight-up learning a skill or something, then virtual or even self-study (I got my MS certification by self-study, for instance).

Host a party or be a guest at a party?

Hosting a party is more work that most people think it is. Plus you have an obligation to see it through regardless. Attendance requires your presence, but how long is up to you. So attend; easier to extricate yourself if the party begins to sour.

Skiing the Austrian Alps or the Colorado Rockies?

Well, I don't ski, but if I did, I could be happy with either. I've hiked the Colorado Rockies and visited the Alps, albeit on the Swiss side. Probably Colorado, though, if it was just for skiing. Closer to home.

Bake a dessert or buy one at a good bakery?
