| I was tagged...
Hmm.. Now I am trying to figure out if I should argue the point of what exactly is weird, or just get on with this (long overdue) post. As my mind is not looking for any sort of challenge at the moment I will proceed with the latter.
Rules: List six (6) weird things about you, then tag six (6) of your friends by listing their names at the end. Friends who get tagged have to list six (6) of their own oddities and tag six (6) others (don't forget to put the rules before your list!)
6 Weird Things
1. I read/collect dictionaries for leisure. Current my collection includes 11 Standard Dictionaries, 1 Phrase Dictionary, 1 German/English Dictionary, 1 Word Usage Dictionary and 1 Japanese Dictionary that I have no idea my reason for owning. My oldest dictionary is 1931, and if you know where I can get a Samuel Johnson on limited budget that would be wonderful!
2. My instument of choice is the Hammered Dulcimer. (If pulling it out every 2 months can be called playing it.)
3. I can/have cooked meals for up to 700 ppl and after about every event I have sworn not to ever get talked into cooking large groups again. But lo, next time it comes I somehow forget my oath.
4. Hot sauce is a table staple beside the salt/pepper. As of now there is 3 bottles on the table in front of me. Tabasco is a favorite, unless something hotter is desired. It is used at all three meals and has been tried on all courses from salad to the dessert. (To note: tabasco tastes interesting on chocolate cake, and should never be put on vanilla ice cream.)
5. Ha, I thought of an easy one! I am LEFT-HANDED! That puts me in a class with 11% of the american population!
6. One of my fondest memories of Verity is the Testing Center. Testing, watching others test, mentally beating the information out of my brain banks, and the excitement of passing all thrilled me greatly. Now I have been told that is rather abnormal, you judge for yourself.

Well to celebrate being ancient I am playing golf this afternoon with my Grandma, Uncle Mike & Aunt Ginny.

| Back in Flint, MI! Now I don't believe in ghosts. But if there was such a thing, when I became one I will probably end up haunting the good old Character Inn.
As it looks I will only up here a week this time. If any of y'all want to drop in and say hey Monday will be a great time. There will most likely be leftover prime rib and cheesecake in the afternoon:) Cooking a sample dinner for the MMBDC commitee. Oh well, its worth a try, eh?
Oh, and a for a quick advertisement for my computer.
