Tagged, am I Stacy? Ok, here goes:

1. The only republican I ever voted for
I've voted for a few locals, including Mass. State Senator Bruce Tarr, who slogged through the muck with me and my neighbors a few years ago, trying to find a better route for a natural gas pipeline. But a Republican President or Congressman? God no.

2. Great non-fiction books I read and recommend

• The Truth by Al Franken, which I'm reading now but already recommend it.

• New Rules by Bill Maher. Funny and on-the-mark.

• A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare by James Shapiro, just to get away from it all.

• Professional JavaScript for Web Developers by Nicholas Zakas, because he's my godson. ;-)

• And my wife says Jimmy Carter's Our Endangered Values is a must read.

3. The 3 most important duties/obligations in our society?
Staying informed, thinking critically, voting.

4. The 4 points on the compass where I’ve lived?
I'm a New Englander. You couldn't pry me away from these miserably cold, snowy winters if you tried (and some have).

5. Recent deaths that had me in tears
Deaths of people close to me make me cry. Deaths of children in Iraq that we are responsible for make me ashamed.

6. Things you should divest yourself of
My passion for donuts, and the hope that we will learn who killed John Kennedy in my lifetime.

And now I think I'll live dangerously and tag Rex Kramer, Danger Seeker, at Spurious George.
