May 16th, 2008
Appetizer
What is the nearest big city to your home?
Los Angeles is about 120 miles up the I-5 from my house depending on the amount of Caltrans construction/renovation going on.
Soup
On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being highest, how well do you keep secrets?
I am a consummate secret-keeper. Confidences will go with me to the grave. I give myself a 10 plus.
Salad
Describe your hair (color, texture, length).
A little longer than chin-length, dark ash blonde neutral (it’s more like light-ish brown), very fine and very straight; bobbed with bangs.
Main Course
What kind of driver are you? Courteous? Aggressive? Slow?
Talented. I’m a very good driver (not in the "Rainman" sense) with highly developed skills. I drive a small black Honda five-speed. I follow nearly all of the traffic rules except speed limit; I speed all the time.
Dessert
When was the last time you had a really bad week?
My weeks have been uneven since I started teaching eighteen years ago. My really bad week was May 22nd - 28th, 2006: That was when I got mugged. The anniversary of that event is next week, but I'm doing my very best to put it into the past.
