Alas, my friend Karen does not blog anymore, but she stays in touch via FB. She posted this MEME. It was light and whimsical, so I thought I would do it. Spo-fans are invited to to likewise, if you fancy.
2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? It was so long ago I can’t remember.
3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? Yes, when I do it properly. I am especially fond of my “R”.
4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? Nasty things and should be avoided. I love good salami, no rubbish.
5. DO YOU HAVE ANY KIDS? No.
6. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS? I doubt it.
7. DO YOU USE SARCASM? Never.
8. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? Yes, despite repeated injury.
9. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP? Oh, I can’t wait! (said with sarcasm).
10. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL? Frosted Salami Flakes.
11. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF? Sometimes, less than I should I dare say.

23. FAVORITE SPORT TO WATCH? Depending on how you define ‘sport’ I vote for rolling down grass hills- in its way. It often injures the tonsils to do so.
24. HAIR COLOR THATS REAL? You mean mine? It is grizzled and au natural. I am thinking of dyeing it red or nattier blue.
26. DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS? No.
27. FAVORITE FOOD? Pizza still ranks #1. A Chicago deep-dish pizza with spinach is my favorite, oh I miss it so.

Hi Spo, I do like the subject of this post. Sort of a had / would you ever type of thing. I’ve been trying to find reasons to blog more borrowing this meme might make an interesting exercise. Good week to you, someone and of course Harper dog.

oh, blog about what’s on your mind; what you are doing; what you are thinking. These sound mundane but they are always a hit.

Excellent advice from Dr. Spo Randy! Just blog what’s on your mind, it’s always a hit.

1.Is your mouse pad at work or home? Either way that’s very funny.
2. Why don’t you cry? I thought you – being a passionate, creative, introvert with a wandering and empathetic mind – would cry. Has work desensitised your feelings? Or maybe it’s a bloke thing? Or those stoic mid Western protestant ancestors of yours sending you subliminal messages on the evils of expressing tears???

The “Scream” mouse pad is at work.
I think I haven’t cried out of practice. I have ‘tried’ at times but can’t seem to get it going. I have longed to do so at times. There may be an element to the last statement you made.

No picture to verify what you were wearing? I will post in a couple of weeks.

OK Mr. Smartypants – I was in my boxers and a T-shirt. So the answers were taken literally.

T-shirts totally count as shirts. Shame on you, titillating your readers like that!

I used to have a “Pinky and The Brain” mousepad, but somewhere along the way it disappeared. (Perhaps while they were out trying to take over the world.) Now I use one from The Joe and Rika Mansueto Library at the University of Chicago — a Christmas gift as I recall from Tom’s former father-in-law, a fabulously wealthy man who always gave Christmas gifts that he had picked up as freebies.

I had to look up Pinky and the Brain, as I am not familiar with them.
Tom’s former FIL sounds a cheap date.

technically I was in my boxers and T-shirt so ‘no pants’ and ‘no shirt’ was literally true.

I did this whole thing on my blog, leaving your answers in there for extra publicity for you. (To get my readers hooked on your blog when they stumble across mine.)
I also defied your advice. Eating granola bars right now. With chunky peanut butter slathered all over.

Aye, this weekend I will drop by and have a look-see.
I am week behind in my readings.
