Depends. Alone, know. With family, yes. Family is everything.

Sell everything and live on a sailboat, cruising from Port to Port as your spirit leads you,

I could see the living port to port part but me handling a sailboat? Yeah, I'd probably end up doing the Robinson Crusoe thing after wrecking it on a reef or something.

WYE, become a hermit or otherwise isolate alone from society for a time?

Sonja did not have a cat. So why was this one making itself at home in her house?

Calico Cupid - Summer Love contest entry

The metal singer made Brenda an interesting offer, but was her interest in the music ... or him?

Heavy Cello Love

Yes and that is what I am somewhat doing at the moment.

WYE do a movie base off of someone story or stories off of Stories Space

Aside from my own (I have a headcast for the Tana stories, though I've moved away from who I originally pictured as Tana)? Hm. Maybe instead of a movie, an anthology TV series of SS stories?

WYE camp in winter?

Heavy Cello Love

Yes, I would like to, I might do it soon, I hope.

WYE go ice fishing while camping in winter? (Stealing Mendalla question in a way)

Not really a fisherperson period, let alone ice fishing.

WYE do a "polar bear" swim?

Heavy Cello Love

No, I can not understand why people do that. Being gored by a bull is not something I ever want to be in danger of happening to me.

WYE take part in a reality show like Survivor or something similar?

Probably not. They don't do much for me even as a viewer.

WYE run for political office (even locally counts)?

Yes

WYE live on a boat out at sea and see new places

Yes. Knew a couple who did just that. Sold their house and most everything else, bought a 44ft ketch and sail around the Caribbean and NE coast of South America.

WYE Buy a motorhome and just travel the country?

My wife and I have talked about it and I know someone who sort of did it (bought a fifth wheel and truck to pull it, lived in a trailer park out West in winter, traveled in summer). Not sure we actually will, though. Interest seems to have waned

WYE take an around the world cruise, basically living on a cruise ship for months or even a year or more?

YES! Cunard, especially offers those kind of cruises. Actually, quite cheap considering everything is included, including meals.

Would you ever hike the Appalachian Trail, either continuously from beginning to end at one time or in segments over time?

Don't know that my joints would hand that anymore but maybe in segments. Walking and hiking are kind of my principle forms of exercise nowadays, at least outdoors.

WYE eat terrestrial arthropods like insects or spiders (vs. aquatic ones like shrimp and lobster)?

Heavy Cello Love

No, if I had other choices. But if the choice was insects, grubs, or whatever, or starve to death, yes. Starvation is a powerful motivator.

WYE start your life over if you had the opportunity to avoid past mistakes or regrets?

I can't see doing a total reboot. Too many good things would be lost. Tweak some things here and there? Sure.

WYE accept a new job offered by a company "headhunting" if you were not otherwise looking for a new job?

Probably not. I hate salespersons (and their cousins, advertisements). I hate being strong armed and coerced.

WYE Be a member of an 'Intergenerational Starship' to another star.

Probably not. The whole generation ship thing seems like a recipe for boredom, really.

WYE accept a starring role in a movie, play, TV show, etc. if offered?

No, I abhor celebrity notoriety. I like my privacy, to be an egnima.

WYE want to a colonist on another planet, knowing you could never return to Earth.

Nah, colonizing other worlds is probably for the young. My body probably couldn't even handle lift off now.

WYE ghostwrite something (i.e. write it for someone else to take credit)?

Not likely. I like being out in nature but not that much. 😊

WYE charter a private plane to travel somewhere assuming you had the money?

Heavy Cello Love

I did a small one on a reef in the Caribbean once so yeah. It's really the only way I can handle being underwater given I can't swim well enough to take up diving.

WYE move permanently to another country?

The right country, absolutely. Not likely though as the countries I'd be willing to move to (Switzerland, New Zealand), have very stringent policies to limit immigration.

I'll answer the same question since there isn't a new one.

I don't think I'd move except maybe to Canada, since that is where my husband is from.

WYE start a podcast or a YouTube channel?

I've contemplated it but not sure what it would be about. Probably a podcast though a growing number of podcasters also have YouTube channels nowadays, at least in the music world.

WYE go screen-free for a month or more?

Yes, I would thoroughly enjoy that. Humanity survived for thousands of years without it. Not necessary now.

WYE give up your current citizenship to move to and live in another country.
