First I like to thank the academy and everyone who voted for me...


Awarded by gamene of the bento zen fame, I hereby succumb to a semi-random selection of seven things about me.

1. I sleep very well when I sleep. When I am stressed out, I sleep walk. I have woken up in the morning with garden soil underneath my nails more than a few times.

2. I used to find really neat things when I was a kid like skeleton keys and pocket knives, so I always thought I was lucky.

3. In adult retrospect, turns out I was lucky because I was finding those things, and not other "things" that would be less desirable, in abandon houses and isolated areas of parks that I was exploring all by myself.

4. On a long hike along a ridge in the rain, I spotted a giant maple tree in full autumn color. Its trunk was covered with moss that looked like green feathers. It was so beautiful that I gave it a hug.

5. I've never been bitten by a tick, but I've pulled a number of them off my neck. (That's what you get for hugging trees.)

6. I have conducted the Pacific Ocean waves crashing onto the cliffs like an orchestra only to turn around to a crowd of onlookers who exploded into applause. I bowed.

And 7. I dance in the kitchen.

Those of you who want this fine award consider yourself tagged. I expect seven random things about you too.

  1. Judy! I have conducted the Pacific Ocean too, from the other side! I used my magical walking stick (old beachcombed broomstick), but never had any audience, to my knowledge. You certainly are lucky.

  3. I am totally laughing right now...I'm with you on dancing in the kitchen, but I can't say I've ever conducted the ocean (although I think if I lived nearer...it could be a possibility). Love your random tid bits.
