Now that I’m done following election maps, I thought I’d look at the geographical distribution of people who cheered me recently on 43 Things.

The results surprised me. I get more cheers from people in foreign countries (esp. Great Britain and Canada) than the U.S.. Within the U.S., my cheers come almost exclusively from the East and West coasts, plus Texas. I get only sporadic cheers from the middle of the country.

I’ll have to sit down with some Scotch eggs and a bottle of Lone Star and figure out why the flyover states are flying over me.

Is there something you think you could do better than most who make a living at it, if you only had the opportunity, funding, and exposure?

Did you make a dish recently from a published recipe (internet or print) that everyone devoured completely? No leftovers. Scraped plates.
Requests for the recipe.

On days you lack motivation but need to perform, what do you do to clear the runway?

Are there any occupations you initially were interested in, but will no longer consider because you hate the prevailing personality of those drawn to that line of work?

Example: enjoy crunching numbers, but can’t stand being around accountants.

How many hours are you away from having your shit together on the home front?

Did you ever get any?
