Many people make a big deal about not being “labeled.” And yet, we all are, constantly.
1. Pick one label that you think does describe you (race, religion, hobby, etc.).
Geek
2. Pick one label that is often put on you, that you really think is inaccurate.
Fanboy
3. Pick one label you wish could be put on you.
Stud
4. What is one kind of label that you think is universally wrong to use (race, gender, height)?
Racia
5. Labels, used intelligently, can be a convenient rhetorical shorthand for identifying how a given person will fit into (or react to) a given situation. Labels, used incorrectly, can be an excuse for dismissing the differences still inherent in the people to whom the label is applied. Discuss.
What is there to discuss? Labels should be used sparingly and wisely with consideration not only about the content of the label but also about who/what is being labeled.

your insight about you
As we head into the holiday season full tilt & people start thinking about their lives over the past year, including the changes/resolutions they may choose to make, I thought this would be a great set of questions to consider…
1. What is your favorite experience in your life so far?
The birth of my children.
2. What motivates you to keep going every day?
My family.
3. Where do you want to go in life? What do you want to accomplish?
Finish my doctorate, buy a home, retire.
4. Is there anything that you regret? Do you try to change it?
I hurt some people emotionally in my past and I wish I could fix that.
5. What is your most cherished gift you have received? Why do you cherish it so much?
My children, do you need to ask why.

1. What is one food (or meal) you used to hate but now love?
Broccoli. I used to hate it (though it was never served in my parent’s house), but the one time I ate it with cheese sauce I started eating it regularly.
2. If you had to give up one of your favorite foods (or meals) for good, what would it be, and why?
Eggs, I guess I could live with egg-substitute.
3. Which food seems like it should be healthy and isn’t, and do you eat it? Why?
Hamburgers because I just crave them sometimes.
4. If you were an item of food, personified, what would you be and why?
Vanilla, I’m about as bland as they get.
5. You’ve seen tomatoes and pies used for this purpose… now think of a more inventive item of food one could throw at someone. What is it and why would throwing it at someone be hilarious?
First, I don’t think throwing food at someone is that funny, but if I had to chose it would be raspberry jam. For the explanation, see “SpaceBalls”
