Oldest thing I own

What’s the oldest thing you own that you still use daily?

Probably my mother’s mixer that was my grandmother’s. There is also an ironing board that is over 60 years old

Favorite moment #WPDP

Describe one of your favorite moments.

One of my favorite moments is when I finally got a reply to an email I sent to the New York Times on an article I wrote. They accepted it for suicide prevention week. It was such a great honor. It is a highlight of my writing career.

Favorite season #wpdp

What is your favorite season of year? Why?

Autumn is my favorite season because it gets cooler and leaves fall

Name change #WPDP

If you had to change your name, what would your new name be?

I wanted to change my name to Mike but in trying to keep people happy (patjological.people pleaser), I changed it to G. Which is just the first letter of my former birth name. In my memoir I think I have my name as Mike in it. Don’t know if I will edit it or not.
