1. If I could own one piece of art:
Since it's in a museum on permanent display, I would say The Messiah violin. Utter, absolute perfection, made by Antonio Stradivari. Depending on who you believe, it's either never been played, or was RARELY played, and never to be played again. This is the Holy Grail of violins. Lord knows what it would be worth at auction.
2. I always travel with:
My Kindle, loaded up with books.
3. My philosophy is:
Life may be difficult, but it does include an annual free trip around the sun.
Always vary routes and schedules.
Don't get too high in highs or too low in the low times. It all balances out.
Life is a journey; live it. Don't be in a rush to get to the destination.
4. To pass the time on planes, trains, and automobiles I:
On planes, trains, buses, I try to sleep or at least deeply rest my eyes. Or read my Kindle.
In automobiles, I am too focused on driving to do anything to pass the time, other than listen to music.
5. This weekend I am:
Going to enjoy the Cowboys put a whooping on the Lions.
Sleep.
Maybe go buy new shoes.
Watch a scary movie.
