1. I think it's a fine idea if you're willing to put the work into it. I was bored stupid in elementary school by a school system intentionally trying to hold me back. I'd have given anything to be allowed to advance at a more appropriate pace with a learning plan tailored to my needs.

2) Last year, when we went to Six Flags La Ronde in Montreal. Nice place, as far as smaller amusement parks go. Carole got a bit queasy and didn't want to do any more rides after midafternoon, regrettably, but at least we'd paid for the FlashPass so we'd already gotten in quite a few rides by that point.

3) I don't actually much like the taste of coffee, but I like the waking-me-up bit. I much prefer a big pitcher of cold iced tea or a pot of hot tea, whichever is appropriate for the season. Part of it's the taste and part of it's the cultural gestalt of tea as Southern cultural icon.

4) A calendar of kitty cats doing cute stuff, and lots of mini appliances for all sorts of weird cooking needs. Our kitchen is, however, TOO SMALL. Sigh.

5) Repo Man. Greatest motion picture of all time. Seriously.

6) It's hard to do something really surprising on someone's birthday unless they have no reason to suspect that you in particular would even be observing it. Hiring a brass band to play the Happy Birthday song outside someone's office window would be MUCH more fun if you were the last person they'd expect to arrange it. My wife, on the other hand, wouldn't be fazed by anything I did on her birthday so I try to save up surprises for other days of the year, i.e., when she's not expecting anything.

7) Tough question. I'd really like to be friends with a certain ex-girlfriend of mine again, but that's probably not what you're asking. As far as celebrities, stars, and famous people, I'm sure that most of them would politely nod, stare vacantly off into space, and wait for me to get done saying how much I respect their work, assuming they didn't have their handlers escort me away. :) I think it'd probably be someone who'd done something amazingly awesomely cool, like, oh, Col. Joe Kittinger. I'd be interested in asking him what it'd been like to do the amazingly awesomely cool thing.
