Tell me a little about yourself

My mom and I recently had a conversation with a friend of mine who was getting back into the dating arena after a long absence. We discussed appropriate questions to ask a potential partner. My mom came up with the following list. I have put it here for you to use, as appropriate.

1. To which country do you owe allegiance?
2. Where were you schooled?
3. Do you possess a legal US passport and a valid driver's license?
4. In which country were you born?
5. In which country were your parents born?
6. Have you ever worked in, or recently visited, a South American pharmaceutical factory?
7. Have you recently deposited a large sum of money in an off-shore bank account in the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands or Switzerland?
8. Have you visited a terrorist training camp in the last five years?
9. Are you or any members of your family in contact with any known terrorists wanted by the US or any other government?
10. Have you ever been convicted on espionage charges?
11. Have you served time in jail?
12. Do you know if any government has collected intelligence on you or any member of your immediate family?
13. What do you know about assault weapons?

These questions are simply thought starters and we encourage you to bring them up on the first two dates to save you time. I welcome any additional questions you have used to get to know your date.

Today

This is my first entry. I suppose I should tell you a little something about me. I am 43 years old but admit to being 35. I will add, I look on 32 years old. I am married to a wonderful man who is also my best friend. He was my best friend before we got married and continues to be. We live in Bermuda - a very small island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. I once heard Bermuda described as one of the most remotest places in the world. I had never thought of my island home like that but keeping in mind that the closest land mass is more than 700 miles away you can see how the description is apt. Bermuda is only 21 miles long and one mile wide at its widest point. We are a mere blip on any and all maps.

I am currently my own boss or at least tell myself I am. I own a small entrepreneurial professional outsourcing services company with my business partner who happens to be my brother.
