  5. 1. I’d be tempted to change the present by doing something bad to someone in their past.
    2. If I HAD TO...one of the olympics BC .... when men competed nude. Just for the eye candy.
    3. My Uncle Gordon, my only known out gay relative, who died before I got to know him.
    4. Pretty much anywhere, I guess. It would be amazing, regardless.
    5. Neither. I wouldn’t want the invasion of privacy that would likely come with. But do be sporting, I’ll say Linda Carter or James Baldwin.
