What is the next...

Purchase you’ll make?

The next microscopic, perfectly flat quad-band cell phone with speakerphone that fits in my front pants pocket.

Trend in design?

Inflatable cushions in theaters, for when the person in front of you is too tall.

Car you’d like to own?

Something with scratch-resistant paint and a dashboard navigation unit.

Big step you’d like to make?

Not needing the scratch-resistant paint.

Fad that will fade?

Talking on cell phones during sex while sipping Starbucks lattes on sheets of identifiable thread-counts.

Vacation you’ll take?

French Polynesia for three months, but I’ll settle for two.

Thing you’re going to fight for?

Accountability in government, and a way for me to go to French Polynesia for three months.

Secret that’s going to leak?

Neither of the above is going to happen soon.

Hollywood blockbuster going to be about?

A British spy with a license to kill the U.S. president.

Life you’ll lead?

As a police detective or whale shark.

Fountain of youth?

Antarctica Guaraná Diet. I can’t believe this Brazilian soda isn’t for sale in the U.S. The Amazonian guaraná berry is an elixir. Studies have been performed on women in Rio that show this.

Book you’ll read?

“There & Then,” by James Salter

Thing that will change the world?

Shoes with interchangeable soles.

Guilty-pleasure food in which you’ll indulge?

Chuckles. But I’ll trade you the licorice for a cherry or lemon.

Person to whom you’ll say, “I love you”?

Paula, my wife.
