Inquiring minds want to know

So I was doing another student interview today, and I have to admit I was really stumped by one of the questions she asked. And when you hear it, maybe you'll think - "What's so hard about that?" Having answered this question many times before, I probably would have said the same thing...until I had to answer it today. Perhaps it's because I like to give thoughtful, informative answers to the students' questions during these interviews...but also, for the first time, I felt like my choices should be really good ones - not the same old whimsical or fanciful ones I've always used before.

Once I figured out my own answer, I began to wonder how other people would answer...and whether their answers would come more easily than mine did. So I pass the question on to everyone in internet-land:

"If you were granted three wishes,

what would you wish for?"

Where I am: Home
What I'm reading: the latest edition of The Chronicle of Higher Education

snooze-buttoned: The question's been raised of what I eventually decided I'd wish for...I would choose a lifetime supply of free airline tickets, a complete collection of first-edition Dean Koontz books and a little house on the West Coast, overlooking Monterey Bay. So now that I've shared, ante up Baxter!
