Why do I want a pet? I have LOTS of wild birds, four -legged furry friends outside, and they are more than happy to visit. I'm more than happy to see them.
I would go anywhere on a vacation where I'm NOT crowded in.

Answers:
1) A dog. The cosmic matter animal ray would decide what kind.
2) Back in the mid-20th century, so that I might see one of the musicians or groups that I truly admire in concert or at a gig (I was born too late for so many).
3) Hamburger, fries and soft drink. At basically any restaurant or home barbecue.
4) Being the best librarian.
5)My home town, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Virtually all the people I know live there and I am constantly discovering new things about its history, geography and sociology.
6) Total recall memory.
7) It depends on what they have that looks edible enough.
8)No and none. (My parents would likely feel inconvenienced by the presence of people I only know from the Internet, and there's no enough space.)
If a cosmic blast of animal-matter rays hit the Earth, turning all humans into animals, what animal would you hope to become, and why? An eagle. I like soaring and being at the top of the food chain.
If you could go back in time to any place, when and where would you go and why? First-century Judea and Galilee during Christ's ministry because, as a Christian, I want to follow the Boss.
What is your ideal meal? Filet Mignon, Potatoes au Gratin, Broccoli, Caesar Salad, Beer/Wine, Trifle (or just a Thanksgiving meal).
If you could be the best at any one thing, other than writing (don’t be so predictable), what would it be? NFL football quarterback.
What is your favorite place, and why? With my wife, wherever. Duh.
If you could pick a superpower, what would it be? Superspeed.
You are on a long road trip. You stop at a gas station to fill up. What “food-ish” product would you buy to snack on while you drive? Bugles.
Would you mind if my wife and I stayed at your house for a week? And what weeks are available? Sure, come on down! But space is available only in early October.
Do you prefer hugs or handshakes? (In case I end up staying at your house.) Either. Handshake first, then a hug if I like you.
If you could have any musician or band (past or present—pretend we have the technology) come to your house and give a private concert, who would it be? Unfortunately, The Beatles are away on a yellow submarine mission that day, so you’ll have to settle for someone else. My wife would ask for AC/DC, but I'm old school. Just zap ol' Mozart or Papa Haydn over. Not Beethoven--he's hard on pianos.
If a cosmic blast of animal-matter rays hit the Earth, turning all humans into animals, what animal would you hope to become, and why? Are vampires animals? If yes, then that.
If you could go back in time to any place, when and where would you go and why? To the day last month 5 minutes before I fell and broke my hip and femur.
What is your ideal meal? P-nut butter, jelly, and banana.
If you could be the best at any one thing, other than writing (don’t be so predictable), what would it be? Saving lives.
What is your favorite place, and why? The mountains by a babbling brook minus any bears. Relaxing.
If you could pick a superpower, what would it be? Flying.

Would you mind if my wife and I stayed at your house for a week? And what weeks are available? Sorry. We are booked up until 2225.
Do you prefer hugs or handshakes? (In case I end up staying at your house.) Neither. Elbow bumps suit me fine.

You are a very nosey person and have a lot of questions Why?

All fine answers. I feel like I know you now. 😉

Thanks.
That's it for this moment.
I like wild "pets" that take care of themselves.
I don't care for crowds either.
Great questions Mark! I am going to share some of them with my small local writing group to use as prompts. Thanks so much!
Good idea. Thanks, Sharron. 🤓
“Look at your skin.”
Ugh! Do I have to? 🤭
This was fun Mark.
Have a super day!!!
Thanks, 3!

9)Either way works.
10) Duke Ellington.
Woof!
Us old people had it good for live music.
Classics.
Interesting choice. I will book it.
Maybe you were born too late but you were born in the right place.
Oooo. That would be handy.
Calling it “Edible” is being kind.
Bummer.
Hugs it is.
Very unexpected. Good choice, though.

Top gun choice.
What could be better? Hosannah!
Yummy.
I would probably choose athlete or musician.
Trying to score points, I see.
Watch out for Flash. That would be a nasty collision.
I haven’t had those since I was a kid.
I will check my calendar.
Good policy.
Classics, all.

Vampires are not animals. And they don’t like mirrors.
Good choice.
I’d have the banana on the side.
Nice.
Bears are not relaxing.
The favorite, I’m sure.
Gross! 🤣
It figures.
Cool.
Sweet. Caroline.
