And I don’t really give a hoot if they’re right or wrong. I had a hard day yesterday, on my own and busy for six hours straight without a break. Boo hoo. At least today there will be someone there to share the misery. And then I work Sunday as well. There is no rest for the weary. Or the wicked.
List three things you’ll never understand.
1. Buttermilk
2. Quantum Physics
3. Chinese
I do understand WHAT number one is, just not WHY it’s allowed to happen. Or how people can drink it without gagging and retching and dropping dead. The other two are strictly off the top of my head in random order. There were way too many choices to warrant thinking any harder about all the things that confuse the hell out of me.
Describe the best view you’ve seen from a rooftop.
Another brain wracking moment while I try to remember the last time I was actually physically on a rooftop. With my eyes open. I think I was eight and had climbed out of an upstairs hallway window onto the veranda roof on my brother’s dare. It wasn’t much of a slope or a great drop to the ground, but scared me silly anyway. The view would have been of the front lawn and the maple trees down the laneway and a field of corn under blue skies and sunshine. I should have taken a picture. But that would have involved letting go of the window frame with at least one hand.
What’s your favourite fried food indulgence?
W makes the best deep-fried ‘fish in batter’ on this planet. I don’t ever want to learn his methods or his secret recipe because frankly it looks like a lot of work. Especially the part where you have to catch fresh walleye first. There’s nothing like it. He can have (and truly deserves) all the glory.
What book is next on your ‘to read’ list?
Odd Jobs, by Ben Lieberman. It’s been so long since I downloaded it to my Kindle that all I can say about it at this point is that it’s one of those .99 cent specials and it’s a mystery. In more ways than one. If it’s great, you will be hearing more.
Name your favourite rock album of all time.
Of ALL TIME? I’m not going to live that long. But anything by Pink Floyd and Queen will make the short list.
Describe your earliest memories.
It’s difficult (maybe impossible) to know if some of the things you think you remember (from a time when you were probably too young to keep them in your head), may after all simply be images you’ve dreamed up from the stories you’ve been told. So the memory may not be your own at all. I’ll share one of mine anyway.
We were riding in a car on a narrow road with dense bush on either side. Dad was driving and I was standing behind him, peering over his shoulder from the back seat. Mom says I was not yet three. A huge brown animal that looked sort of like a cow crossed the road in front of us and the car slowed down to a crawl to let him pass. My mom and my grandma and whoever else was in the car were gasping and exclaiming and pointing. “Look at the moose! Look at the moose!” A mile or so down the road when everyone had calmed down, I made my own observation, somewhat after the fact. “My, that was a big mouse!” It was astonishing to me that a tiny little mouse could grow up to be such a great size. It was one of those moments when all the grown ups laugh and you have no idea what’s so funny.
