game plans

if you could only ask one question to a fortune teller, what would it be?

j: what's her name?
me: what will be my greatest regret?

lol, boy did we go in opposite directions with our questions! j's is actually really really good and i'm pretty sure i'd include it my first 10 questions, if allowed that many. but our different approaches are interesting. he wants to know the future to be sure he doesn't miss it; i want to be able to avoid it. also, his is specific; mine is general.

the other night, well after the museum of ice cream, we walked by pershing square and played on the jungle gym a bit. j observed that there are three types of people: the kind that climbs around it (as he did), the kind that goes thru it, and the kind that climbs to the top (me, duh). it's funny cause i didn't even think of what else to do; i saw something climbable and tall so i immediately went up. (i joked that maybe it's cause i'm short that i always like to get to the highest point.) j saw a challenge and took the longest path around it. and the kids that go thru, i dunno, they're the most efficient and maybe the least fun. it's "dangerous" to extrapolate about personality based on a single thing, but still, he had a pretty interesting observation.
