Welcome to Ask Roulette, the newsletter.
How does this work? Each newsletter you’ll see one reader’s answer to the previous question. Then you’ll see the question they have for the list, which you can respond to if you’d like. Or you can just read and enjoy.
Previous ask:
What would you do if you were the only person in the world for one day?
Gregg answers:
I think the key here is “one day.” So I don’t exactly have time to check off my bucket list of things like “wander the Taj Mahal naked” or “swim the Great Barrier Reef naked.” In just one day, I’d have to stay in my area, and mostly try to enjoy things that are much harder to do when there are lots of people around. So I’d probably go to Trader Joe’s and catch up on groceries. But naked.
Gregg asks:
What’s the best sandwich you’ve ever eaten?
If you’d like to answer this question, you can simply hit reply to this email and write it in. Be sure to also include a question that you’d like to submit next. And tell us a story — your answer will be the bulk of the next newsletter. We will only use your first name, but if you wish to answer anonymously, let us know. Or, leave a comment.
Thanks to everyone who responded. See you next week.
