       Christina asked me these 5 questions earlier this month and I'm like, 
       "not right now."  
       
       Now it is almost the end of the month.  I'm such a slacker.  
       Praise Bob.  
       
       "xiled, why ya have not answer to Christina's questions?  Aksed ya 
       almos' mounf ago...  As it been, ya ain't been answering no questions 
       at all!"
       
       XILED: I'll answer the questions, just go away, you are so annoying.
       
       "A'ight den.  Afta ya done, go do dem dishes.  The soakin's gettin' 
       cold."
       
       So now I present to you:
       
       Answers to Christina's 5 Questions for Jan, 2021:[1]
       
       CHRISTINA: 1. This year, did you try reading a book in a genre you 
       usually don't gravitate to? What did you think of it?
       
       XILED: Negative.  Sounds like a good idea to switch genres.  I think 
       I should have read moar books this past year but did not.  Too 
       distracted, too unstable.  Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables.
       Maybe I'll give it a try...or maybe try a different genre of comic 
       books...they have pictures for the distracted in me.  I am still 
       continuing with my chronological journey through Stephen King's novels..
       
       CHRISTINA: 2. Have you ever made a New Year's resolution that you 
       stuck to? (Are you still stickingto it?)
       
       XILED: Not really.  The Japanese term, "kaizen," or "continuous 
       improvement" seems to resonate moar with how I do things.
       
       CHRISTINA: 3. What does "healthy" mean to you?
       
       XILED: Soundness of mind, body, and spirit.
       
       CHRISTINA: 4. Are you an early bird or a night owl?
       
       XILED: Creature of the night...caffeinated zombie by day.
       
       CHRISTINA: 5. Will you get the COVID vaccine? Why or why not?
       
       XIlED: *shrugs*
              Magic 8-Ball answers, "Cannot predict now."
              I-Ching Oracle answers, "No, you won't.  There is a need for 
              quiet reflection."
              Fortune cookie states, "A ship in harbor is safe, but that's 
              not why ships are built."
