The IF Factor: Questions Answered #261-270

261. If you could serve in one capacity in the military (in which you haven't already served), what would you want to do?

Well, obviously, I've never served in the military. However, I would want to do something close to my career now, and that is work in logistics. Whether it is scheduling, planning, or project management, I'd love to serve my country by using my experience and attributes towards those aspects. 

262. If you could eliminate forevermore one cause of death on earth, what would it be?

Hunger. That's such a brutal way to die. Especially, when the resources are there throughout the world unlike other terrible diseases or ailments.
 
 263. If you have had to choose the best book in history, which book would get the prize?

For me, easily, The Bible.

264. If you could cure any disease, which would it be?

Cancer. For the sole reason that it just happens. There is no rhyme or reason for why it occurs in certain people, no matter how many studies we do.
 
265. If you could be the owner of any current team in professional sports, which one would you want?

I want to say the New York Yankees, because they are my favorite sports team, and well, they are worth quite a bit. However, I'll go with my second fave, the New York Knicks. Knicks management has been brutal, and I'd love to own them and hopefully fix the notorious image their front office has.

266. If you could eliminate one odor from the earth, which one would you get rid of?

Bad body odor. Nothing like the being next to someone on the subway who hasn't showered in days.

267. If you were to select a food that best describes your character, what food would it be?

Hamburger. Simple to make, is adaptable with tons of variations and specifics, and is rarely ever a bad idea for a meal.
268. If you could arrange a jam session with any three musicians in history, who would you include? 

 This is a good one. I'll go with this grouping:

1. Jimmy Cliff
2. O.A.R.
3. Jimmy Hendrix

269. If you could invent one new home appliance, what would it do?

A tea maker. There is a coffee make for folks who drink coffee. They can just pour, and boom, they have a drink in hand. Would be nice to have a machine that makes tea for you.

270. If you were to be someone's personal computer, whose would you like to be?

I'd love to be the personal computer of someone creative. Probably, an author, or columnist of some sort. I'll go with Mike Lupica because I enjoy his work.

Would You Rather: Questions 121-130

This edition of "Would You Rather" is credited to the NBA Would You Rather NBA Account on Instagram ( See Here ). Adding to the fun, this edition (and possibly future ones) are all NBA basketball questions.  121. Who would you rather have on your favorite NBA team - Giannis Antetokounpo or James Harden?  Seeing how I'm a lifelong suffering Knicks fan, the thought of any of these guys in blue and orange is hard to believe. With that said, I'm taking the Greek Freak for this reason - I enjoy watching him play a bit more. Nothing against Harden who is amazing as well, but at times, the ball sticks and that isn't always fun. Plus, I feel like we haven't yet seen a finished Giannis. 122. Would you rather have Giannis Antetokounpo with no driving ability or James Harden with no Three-Point shooting ability?  This is definitely a weird and unique one, but I'll take Harden. Giannis without his strength doesn't offer much. However, if Harden's d...

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 9/13/26

The Sunday Sundown Rundown (formerly in the format of "3 Up and 3 Down") is where I share thoughts on three topics that piqued my interest, along with my favorite photo from the week. 25th Anniversary of 9/11 It is sort of hard to imagine that it has been twenty-five years since that awful day. It's been fifteen years since I've shared my experience as a High Schooler in Brooklyn, NY , and everything that came with that day (and the many to follow afterwards).  The world changed, and to this day, it still feels hard to grasp what happened (and what transpired with the health of so many afterwards). The lives lost, and the damage done. My son learned about 9/11, and his questions around it ignite some of that struggle with thought around it.  Daddy, how did they get the planes?  Did the building just, like, fall over?  On this 25th anniversary, it is even more concerning to see how the day is also politicized and sometimes weaponized in culture wars. I remember Americ...

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 9/6/26

The Sunday Sundown Rundown (formerly in the format of "3 Up and 3 Down") is where I share thoughts on three topics that piqued my interest, along with my favorite photo from the week. Chandika Shrestha I found so much of this story this week to be fascinating. Chandika Shrestha, a 64-year-old woman, was found alive - ALIVE! - after ten days below a collapsed house among the Nepal flood wreckage. The human spirit element and the sheer will to survive, combined with what can only be divine intervention. So much there to the spirit of life and an unexplainable reasoning.  Western Michigan vs. Michigan Ending Look, I'm as casual as they come when it comes to the college football space, culture, and fandom.  Nonetheless, somehow, I found myself (with my wife - who has about 3,485 things she would rather do before watching football) watching the final five minutes of this game on Saturday night. Little did we realize what we would witness.  I have no dog in the fight. But I fe...
