About Favorites


Every time I'm asked what my favorite [fill in the blank] is, I feel as if it's a trick question.  I have preferences.  However, preferences and favorites are not the same thing.  For example, I prefer iced tea or iced coffee over carbonated beverages.  If I must order a carbonated beverage, I prefer Ginger Ale or Sierra Mist.  However, I wouldn't call anything my favorite.  Nothing is an absolute.  I enjoy trying new things.  It seems somewhat contradictory to the spirit of exploration to always be conclusively predictable.
