  1. Haven't listened to Coast to Coast, but your description reminds me of a radio show I listened to in the night during my insomniatic youth, trying to get to sleep.  They covered a lot of odd topics and had listeners call in with their experiences and theories.  (40 years ago.  Where does time fly to?)

    (I'm not usually up at 4 in the morning any more, but the stupid dog woke me up tonight and I can't get back to sleep.)

  2. Not sure.  I'd probably feel pretty glum.  If only 6 mo. to live, I'd kind of expect to be feeling shitty enough not to be able to enjoy doing the things i like to do.  If I can still work, I'd probably keep working -- still gotta feed the family.  Maybe I'd try to visit a couple of my favorite places one last time.

    I'd try to keep in mind that sometimes people outlive doctors' predictions.  Stephen Hawking was supposed to have died about 50 years ago.

  3. Assuming it's a pretty good sized lottery,

    quit my job.  Take a long and restful vacation.  Maybe start a business or two, with the goal of them doing something to better the world in some way, and if they lose money, it won't matter.  Give some away to worthy causes.  Doing more of my own cooking and eating better, and getting more exercise.  Spend more time outside doing things I enjoy.

  4. I wouldn't say depressed, but definitely some bluesiness.  With the shorter days and cooler whether, I feel like I need more sleep, have less energy (mental more than physical), and my libido takes a hit.

    You can only hope.. But don't be surprised if he does it again. Im surprised as Managers and Bosses they give us so many classes on sexual harassment in the work place... That he doesn't know better!! 

    There is no shortage of dickheads who will try to see how far they can bend the rules, or flat out break them without getting caught, and then if they do get caught, have a knack for sweet talking there way out of it.

  6. Beer.  Long Trail Ale.  So i guess technically an ale, but I could never remember the difference between beer, ale, lager, porter, and whatever other flavor beer comes in.  Except stout, I kinda have an idea what stout is.  You should be able to stand a spoon up in a good stout . . .

  7. I musta missed this one also.

    I don't set aside particular days or evenings for self time.  Self time just kind of works out naturally.  After work I am usually pretty mentally spent, so I spend the evenings goofing off on the internet.  The wife is off having her Facebook fights, so she keeps herself entertained.  And now that the kids are teenagers, they don't want nuttin to do with the parents.

    On summer weekends I go for longish bike rides, which is more self time, plus plenty of yard work.

  8. Elated?  No.  Although I did vote for Trump (but my state went for Clinton so my vote didn't matter) and I was mildly pleased that he won despite all the predictions, I did not like either candidate.  Both had a lot of strikes against them.  I was undecided all the way up to the election.  All of the third party candidates this year were Bozos.  There were a lot of reasons that had me leaning one way or the other at various times.  In the end, I thought Hillary was too deceitful.  Plus as Obamacare kicked in, my health premiums spiked and my benefits shrunk.  Hillary would guarantee more of that; with Trump, at least there is a teensy microscopic glimmer of hope for improvement.

    Time will tell what kind of president Trump will be.  I am not expecting much to be elated about.  And I keep telling myself, "Hillary would have been worse.  I think."
