My mother was trying to tell me a joke one time that went like this:

My bad.

Travel

2. Who would be your ideal travel buddy?

Someone who won’t complain about carrying my camera bag.

10 days in New York. I think. I don’t get away much.

The Beach.

5. What’s your favorite travel story?

It doesn’t matter where we go or how long it took to get there, we can get home in one day. One. Which leads me to believe, home is downhill from everywhere.

Old Skool

Mill on the Floss.

Tetherball.

4. Did you ever participate in a school play?

Yep, in Vacation Bible School.

5. Describe your most embarrassing school photo or early fashion faux pas.

Early fashion faux pas? Do they count if you’re still making them? I once traipsed around the library whilst I thought great thoughts and did arcane research and thought myself oh, so cool, only to realize as I went out the door that I had my turtleneck top tucked inside my long underwear and waist of my jeans was riding two inches below the waistband of my long underwear. Oh, what a fetching sight I was. Had my underwear fetched up to my ribs.

And it wasn’t that long ago.

Alas.

Last But Not Least

1. Last present you gave someone?

Hipster PDA to my college girl who mocked it as so not hip.

2. Last time you danced?

Danced around my office last Thursday when I finally realized why the speakers on the computer weren’t working and suddenly had a Ringo Starr song vibrating the window.

3. Last meal you cooked?

Potato Tart.

4. Last letter you wrote?

Wrote one to the college girl not long ago. Trying to show her there exists a mode of communication other than email and cel.

To no avail, I might add.

5. Last time you got on a plane?

I haven’t flown since 9/11.

Guess that makes me kind of a sissy, but it hurt my heart to see airports turned into armed camps.

No, I don’t have a better solution.

Probably a good thing, I don’t travel much.
