40. What famous person would you like to have dinner with?

Jane Lynch and Martina Navritalova, and they’ve been travelling together and are sick of each other’s company and there I am, across from them at a small candle-lit table in a red dress and heels, and look, here comes the waiter with our Mojitos.

41. Indoors or Outdoors?

Outdoors to reach outwardly. Indoors to reach inwardly.

42. Have you ever crashed your vehicle?
