FPQ: You Just Know

Every week, Fandango poses a “provocative question” (a question to make you think, but supposedly non-controversial). This week’s question is: You’ve heard of extra sensory perception, right? You know, ESP. There are three forms of ESP. Telepathy — the transfer of information from one person to another without the use of sensory communication. Clairvoyance — […]

FPQ #72: Travel and Leadership

Fandango’s back with his weekly provocative question: What is the one thing in life that you are most excited about right now? Why? I could answer this is one sentence, but decided to do a little more with it. I’m assuming that the question implies something that I anticipate happening soon that makes me excited, […]

FPQ #71: Act Your Age…

Fandango’s Provocative Question this week is again a question with multiple sub-questions: How old are you* and how old do you feel — older or younger than your actual chronological age? Do you generally act your age? And what does “acting your age” mean to you? *If you’re uncomfortable revealing your actual age, maybe you […]

FPQ #70: The 39% of Americans

FPQ #70 is: If you could choose anyone, past or present, and walk that proverbial mile in his or her shoes, who would you choose, and why would you choose that person? I have been thinking about this question for a couple of days, since I read Melanie’s response that she would choose Trump and […]

FPQ #68: To Open or Not to Open? That Is the Question

Fandango has a provocative question he puts out every week, and while he doesn’t mean it to be politically controversial, this week it really is – of course, everything in the U.S. is political nowadays! Here’s the question(s). Do you think it’s premature for states to be lifting the stay-at-home, shelter-in-place, and social distancing restrictions? […]

FPQ 67: Why blog?

Fandango’s Provocative Question this week: As a blogger, when it comes to your blog, what makes you tick? As a preface to this, Fandango wrote that he had gone to another blog which asked a similar question, and asked several of his own in the comments: In my post in response to Dr. Tanya’s post, […]

FPQ #64: Who Am I, Really?

It’s Wednesday, which means Fandango asks his provocative question of the week! Are you the same person on your blog as you are in real life? Do you like yourself more in the virtual world than you do in the real world? I’m not much good at pretending and I am generally quite open about […]

FPQ: What Will Be Our Post-COVID-19 World?

Fandango’s Provocative Question #63 is a very relevant one: When we finally get through this COVID-19 pandemic at some point in the future, do you think the world is going to change from what is was like before anyone ever heard of coronavirus? Or will things quickly return to “business as usual”? I am not […]

FPQ #61: Trump and COVID-19

Fandango’s Provocative Question #61 is to ask what is our reaction to Don Lemon’s assessment regarding Trump’s handling of the coronavirus. On the video from CNN, Lemon tells us that Trump is gaslighting us and has been downplaying or downright lying about the seriousness and extent of the coronavirus pandemic. Don Lemon is spot on. […]

FPQ: The Good Life

Fandango’s Provocative Question #52: What does living “the good life” mean to you? Do you think that you’re living “the good life”? I am definitely leading the good life. I am retired so most days I don’t have to get up early to go somewhere. I live in a senior community where everyone is friendly […]
