Ophelia, Odilon Redon

My uncle once: shot off his finger with a blunder bust.
Arrrg, Matey!

Never in my life: have I ice skated and am too afraid to

start now.

When I was five: I memorized a Halloween poem and

recited it for show and tell. My teacher told me to sit down,

it wasn't a talent show. I still adore poetry, but am petrified

of audiences.

High school was: an experience I'm glad I never have to

revisit.

I will never forget: watching my Grandpa process photos

in his darkroom. The smell of developing solution brings back

many fond memories. I always breathe deeply when I walk into

a photo shop.

Once I met: Georgio Tozzi, opera singer, who did the actual

singing dubbed for Rossano Brazzi in the movie South Pacific.

He was so charming, very handsome and wore suspenders and

a bow tie.

There’s this girl I know: who sings “How are Things in

Glocca Morra” at holidays and makes me cry.

Once at a bar: my aunt drank a barrel sized glass of

Baileys and put the fake grass from a flower arrangement

in the restroom into her purse.

By noon, I’m usually: standing, staring into the fridge.

Last night: I watched I Know Where I'm Going and cried.

If I only had: hair like Pocahontas.

Next time I go to church: I want it to be one of those

lovely cathedrals in England with a boys choir and grand

organ music.

What worries me most: is insignificance.

You’ll know I’m lying when: I tell you that I just

finished running the Boston marathon.

What I miss most about the 80’s is: white hose

and shoulder pads.

If I were a character in Shakespeare, I’d be:

Ophelia in Hamlet.

A better name for me would be: Mrs. Dalloway.

I have a hard time understanding: and editing

html language.

If I ever go back to school: I would be out of my mind.

You know I like you if: I see your caller ID and still

pick up.

Take my advice, never: EVER color your hair or

anyone else's at home during a tornado.

My ideal breakfast is: poached eggs, bacon, and

extra strong coffee with cream in front of the fire with WT

on a frosty winter Sunday morning.

If you visit my hometown, I suggest you: bring

some old clothes to go fishing in the river.

Why won’t people: just treat others as kindly as they

would like to be treated?

The world could do without: narrow minded bigots.

I’d rather lick the belly of a cockroach than:

skydive.

My favorite blonds are: my daughter, my aunt, two

uncles and Kenneth Branagh

If I do anything well, it’s: cook for a crowd.

And, by the way: I hate ugly places.
