1. You made the switch to Mac over a year ago. All politics of the decision aside, are you happy with your choice? If the opportunity presented itself, would you make the same decision?
Happy? Absolutely. I would still go Mac, but I might splurge for the Powerbook.
2. Northwestern's playing Florida State. Pick a side.
First of all, I assume you're talking football. For the most part, I would pick FSU, because football is far more important to FSU than Northwestern, and a loss to NU would mean far more to FSU than a win over FSU would mean to NU in almost every circumstance I can imagine. Of course, I got asked that question in law school once, and I said I'd just root for the offense. So my answer has changed.
3. Where is the coolest place you've ever been? Tell us about how you got there.
I've been to a lot of cool places, actually. When I was in high school, we took three vacations in particular that were pretty spectacular - one cruise up the BC coast to Alaska, a trip the following summer to the Soviet Union (1989, the summer before the Berlin wall fell) and a trip to Hong Kong and China in 1990. Of those, I think the trip to the Soviet Union was the "coolest" because it was so outside my world experience up to that point.
4. You're the district governor for Virginia for the nation's largest undergraduate fraternity. What's the hardest thing you've had to do in your tenure as DG?
Give it the time it deserves. The "District Governor" is a coordinator and mentor for people who volunteer at each chapter in the area, mine being D.C. and Virginia. Many chapters in the area lack sufficient volunteer support and I have not been able to bring that support to those chapters. Part of that is because I also volunteer directly with two chapters in the area, and devote a great deal of time to that. Part of it is because of geography - there aren't many potential volunteers in the areas where need is greatest. Part of it is because I just haven't given it the time I should have.
5. If you won the gubernatorial election for California in October, what would you do first?
Laugh my ass off. Then I'd pledge not to run for re-election, so that I would be able to work for controversial remedies without worrying about my poll numbers. Then I'd look for places to cut those expenditures - it's not so much the revenue in California that's been the problem, it's the spending without restraint, or so I have heard.
Wait, that was three things. OK, just keep the laugh part then.
