Yup, though we're not serious all the time. Sometimes we're very silly.
2) What was your dream growing up?
Let's see. I was in this amazing candy store, with all these different types of candy, some of which I had never seen. And the nice woman who ran the store said I could have any candy I wanted. Then all those kids who were always so mean to me at recess came in and . . .
Oh, it's too traumatic to even think about.
3) What talent do you wish you had?
I wish I could drive better and without spending the entire drive wishing I were doing anything other than driving.
4) If I bought you a drink what would it be?
Well, gee, that would be for you to decide, wouldn't it. But I hope it's beer.
5) Favorite vegetable, prepared how?
Oh, that's tough, cuz I love me some veggies. I love green beans, just barely blanched and sauteed with a lot of garlic. And I love roasted root vegetables: a mix of taters, sweet taters, parsnips, turnips, carrots, beets, jicama, etc all mixed together with a little EVOO and some fresh rosemary and lots of cloves of garlic. And I love raw fennel. And fresh picked corn, and . . .
6) What was the last book you read?
That's tough to answer, as I usually have a mess of books going at once. The last book I read anything from was the RE/SEARCH book of bodily fluids which happened to be in the bathroom when I went in there about 20 minutes ago. I think the last book I read front to end in one go was probably The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan, which I picked up at the airport flying back from Miami last week.
7) Any cool scar stories?
I still have a slight discoloration under my right eye from when one of my first grade classmates stabbed me with a pencil & the lead broke off.
Now you see where my dreams come from.
8) Any Tattoos and/or Piercings? Explain where.
Just two very boring holes, one in each lobe.
9) Can you describe the wall art in your bedroom?
There's not much, actually, as I live in a loft and there's not much wall space - there's much more art in the rest of the house. But there's a mirrored piece with a stained glass iris, a photo of my mom & my grandfather from her teenage years, and a pastiche of Munch's The Scream in which the main figure is not squatting and screaming, but is holding a fishing reel off the bridge. There's also a number of non-wall art pieces in the room( a couple of sculptures, a fountain, and a funky thumb piano made in a gourd that I consider art.
10) What do you want more than anything, right now?
a glass of water would be nice. Hold on
.....
ahhhh, that's better.
11) What is your most prized possession?
My sense of humor.
12) Do you have a Negative or Optimistic attitude?
Depends. For example, I have a pretty negative attitude about this country's way of dealing with the rest of the world, but an optimistic attitude about how much fun I'll have at lunch with lediva on Monday.
13) What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me?
Depends. Is there a boom box and some beer with us?
no subject

Meeting
15) Tell me one weird fact about you.
Hmmm, I don't think I'm weird or that anything about me is particularly weird.
Which is, perhaps, weird in and of itself.
