From: Simon

Subject: Friends Survey

1. What is your occupation? Doctor

2. What color is your underwear? Is that really a worthwhile question. They are white, by the way.

3. What are you listening to right now? River is sleeping, thankfully. So I have on some ancient recordings of Mozart, very softly.

4. What was the last thing you ate? Dinner. Kaylee helped cook; it was very pleasant!

5. Do you wish on stars? I may have, once.

6. If you were a crayon, what color would you be? Silver. Perhaps blue.

7. How is the weather right now? Nicely cool. Kaylee tinkered with the recirculator earlier and I think it’s working better.

8. Last person you spoke to on the phone? I saw a phone once in a museum, but no one wants to hear that story. Haven’t waved anyone either. Kind of lonely, really.

9. Do you like the person who sent this to you? Yes, he’s an excellent pilot and has gotten us out of many difficult situations.

10. Name three things other than office supplies/computer/laptop that are on your desk right now: Oh, very little. River’s drawing pad, a couple of books I picked up on Beaumonde.

11. Favorite drink? Tea, generally. Though I must admit I have had some interesting alcohols before.

12. Another MIA one ... how about any tattoos? If no, do you want any and if yes, what and/or where? Oh, no. Just the thought of permanently inking something onto my skin is kind of ludicrous.

13. Have you ever dyed your hair? No. Do men even dye their hair anymore?

14. Do you wear contacts or glasses? No, but my father wore reading glasses. I suspect I, too, will need them someday.

15. Who do you think Jennifer Aniston should marry next? Who? I’m not sure who she is, so I can’t really comment on her marital situation.

16. Favorite month? Oh, I really used to enjoy Marz back home. The weather would just be turning pleasant and River and I would thrill to play outside again.

17. Favorite food? Gosh, probably anything but prote
