When in doubt …

visit a couple of favorite diaries (in this case, Gemma and Rick). I hope all is reasonably well with you. It’s day 46! May your weekend be fine.

1. Dick and Jane or Kim and Wendy?
Kim and Wendy.

2. Did you wear knee socks?
Yes, most of the time; I liked them better than anklets. Those were my choices at the time.

3. Favorite rock band?
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.

4. Last long walk?
Yesterday.

5. Last time you saw the ocean?
Last August.

6. Christmas tree – real? Artificial? None?
Lately artificial. I’m actually over any desire for a Christmas tree, but the younguns seem to think it necessary, and the youngest un tends to have a bad reaction to a real tree in the living room (possible allergy).

7. Name a couple poets you’ve read and liked.
Alice Walker, Robert Frost, Robert Mitchell, noko, Illuminati Apprentice.

8. Name a couple artists you like.
Leonardo Da Vinci, Jessica Galbreth.

9. Electric or gas? (cooking)
We have a gas stove; ergo, we use gas. I am pretty sure I would much prefer electric if and when I can have it.

10. Camping experiences? Positive or negative?
My camping experiences have been positive.

11. Do you cry easily?
Yes I do.

12. Do you butter bread when you make sandwiches?
Not unless I am having a bread and butter sandwich. :D:D

13. Favorite town/city in Texas.
I have never been to Texas, but from what I’ve heard/read/come across, I think it would probably be Austin.

14. Last time you wore nail polish. What is its name?
It didn’t have a name, and I can’t remember the number. It was placed on my nails about five years ago by a manicurist at Lisa’s Nail Salon.

15. Can you drive a vehicle with a clutch?
No, I cannot drive any vehicle but a bicycle (sort of).

16. Would you be comfortable on a motorcycle trip?
I think I would, if I were to prepare properly.

17. Write your epitaph.
My journey’s done. How’s yours going?

18. Did you ever have music lessons?
I had a few years of piano lessons. My grandmother even invested in an upright piano.

19. Do you still play?
No. Sometimes I sit down by some poor unsuspecting keyboard and play vaguely remembered snatches of pieces I had to learn, but I don’t make the poor thing (or anyone else who happens to be nearby) suffer for longer than a few seconds.

20. Spend a thousand dollars. Quick, don’t think, do it.
Rent a cottage in Connemara for a week.
