Saturday Small Talk

Quite some time ago, around the time that I read The Art of Civilized Conversation, my sister and I came up with a long list of ‘small talk’ questions that might help start a fascinating conversation when we seemed to be at a loss. I know that Shannon has put many of the questions on our list to good use, but I haven’t had much time for small talk in the past year.So, would any of you, my dear readers, be interested in some small talk? I would love to hear your answers to one or all of the following questions. I realize that this blog format loses much of the ‘intimate chat’ atmosphere, but we can try, can we not?*Tropics, desert, mountain, coast, or valley~ what climate do you prefer?*If you were forced to list your best asset, what would you reply?*What unusual features would your dream home have?*If you owned a restaurant, what would it be like? What would you name it? What food would you serve?

Feel free to chat in the comments or on your own blog (but be sure to put a link in the comments!).
