  1. Wow, I’m first! Yes, you are tons of fun, you make me laugh a lot, are a loyal friend with a very beautiful smile! However, you forgot generous- that you are too.

  2. Hm, what’s so special about your chili?

    I love the questions you chose!! I think I’d wear black, too (let’s talk accessories).

  3. You’ve got *nothing* for today? The Democrats take at least one chamber of Congress and practically every state office in Ohio and you call that nothing?

    You not only make me laugh, you make me hungry. I don’t know if that’s a talent or a curse.

  4. I love Grapenuts, too. Did you ever have Grapenuts ice cream. JP Licks used to sell it. Or maybe it was Maddie’s in Dedham Square.

  5. I’m with you on the crayon question. It sounds like one of those faux-meaningful questions Barbara Walters would ask. Like when she’d ask a politician “if you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be,” expecting an answer like “an oak, because I’m tall and strong and have deep roots in the community” but instead she’d get a vague look, like “tree? you crazy, lady?”

  6. Love it – It is totally fun reading all these things about you – I might just have to cave and do this too.
    thanks for the peek into your world.

  7. Born in Stoughton…grow up here, too? (I did – SHS ’82) I keep thinking that you look familiar somehow… Could be the smile….
