  1. Susan's answers are SO like Brian's! Brian almost said die for his bucket list and himself as a vegetable in a coma. And he thought of just saying yes to some of the "Do you have a favorite ....?" and not saying what his favorite was. Susan's right, she is ornery like Brian.

  4. Thanks for humoring me! I loved Susan's responses to the dream and shoe questions. Steve used to tell me how Dad would react to the mosquito commercial - that's great. He and I have the same ideal superpower. And streaking... really? Haha.
