What is the best place you've visited/lived?For many years Paris was the default answer but with age I more and more have come to appreciate the sea, so I'll say Nice. It has the most perfect combination of beach and city that I know of. The lived part is easier to answer. I have only lived within the Gothenburg region.
What is the most romantic thing anyone has done for you? (PG, please!)
We watched a dog for a friend once a week for a few months. When our help no longer was needed I said to my wife: "When you die I am going to get a dog!" She is older than I am and not fond of animals in general. After two months or so she asked how the plans proceeded, and thus we got Dylan:
What is your favorite food or drink?Food: seafood. Drink: mineral water.
Robin William's genie appears to give you one wish for your life-- what is it?Freedom from work.
Who has passed away that you miss the most?Each and everyone that passes away inevitably leaves a hole that cannot be filled.

What event most changed your life for the better?I had to go through rehab for alcoholism some years ago. During the process I learnt many things about myself and I came out as much richer and more self assured person afterwards.
What event changed your life for the worse?We can start learning a third language in middle school and at the time I went there we could chose between German and French. Today Spanish often is a third option. I took German for which I have had zero use later in life. Had I chosen French back then I might have been bold enough to open some unknown doors later in life.
