A – An advantage you have – Being a senior citizen...there are quite a few quirks with the age I am at right now.

B – Blue or brown eyes – kinda bloodshot red right now...but if you look closer, BLUE

C – Chore you hate –Let's put it this way....there really isn't a chore I LIKE!!

D – Dad’s name –I knew him and always called him...DAD [never was on a first name basis with him]

E – Essential start of your day – After my morning routine, right? It'd be Blogging

F – Favorite color – Purple

G – Greatest thing you’ve ever done that made you feel really good – I don't think I've ever done anything in the category of GREAT. But, in recent past, being bold enough to walk up to the Secret Service and ask to see [campaigner] President Obama and then ask for his autograph and getting it...made me feel really good.

H – Habit you have – more of an obsession...BLOGGING again.

I – Issue you hate that the world tries to make you pursue – World and Local issues as reported...let me explain a bit. These days, I rarely believe what I read, or see through the eyes of the media. It's all such 'sensationalism' that I can't stand the thought of it much. I DO continue to read....but the TV news? It's so unbelievable that I have learned to HATE it. [Not to devalue or impugn anyone's love/obsession for M. Jackson, but for the last few days it's all been about him...you'd think he was the leader of the WORLD the way the media is covering the loss. -for instance, the lovely Farrah Fawcett died the same day...at first, it was covered by the media...but! when they got word that M. Jackson had been hospitalized...everything else was not newsworthy!! For the media, the world revolved around the man. There ARE other things going on. Why even when Princess Di's death was in the news, the media did not dwell on it as much as this. Bits and pieces of other world events were added to the CNN programming back then. Why, my word!--- if my memory serves me correctly...9-11 was covered extensively, but think about it...1000s died!!! Not to mention Anwar Sadat's assassination, Nixon's death, Reagan and the deaths from WARS!...Again, as always, news is what brings in revenue...the money making top story is M. Jackson.] He died people, (people, as in CNN, MSNBC, FoxNews, E, Entrainment Tonight, Larry King, Late Night Shows, Local Media, National Media....) let's move on with our lives now, happenings of the world or our country....forgot the economy? the threats? the white house? the job securities?...huh? Enough already news people!!! The only people that I can empathize with for their loss, a deep loss, is a son - his parents, a brother - his siblings, a father - his children...he is now gone from them.

J – Job title – Retired

K – Kohls or Target – Neither, really. If I had to chose between the two, it'd be Kohls. I never DID like Target. [For both stores, I go there once a year...and that is to see if they have anything different that I don't have already...for Halloween]

L – Living arrangements – You?---where you are, and Me...where I am.

M – Music you like – All music except Rap. Rappers seem to be hate mongers with their lyrics.

N - Nicknames – One that has been with me like......forever. That's Goomba.

O – Overnight hospital stay – A few. After surgeries and births of two kids.

P – Pet Peeve – You don't want to get me started....I have hundreds. It'd take forever and eternity to list 'em. [first one this morning is: I just cleaned and scrubbed the kitchen counter top...get up this morning and it's all cluttered again!! I can't ever keep it clean and de-cluttered for more than a few hours!]

Q – Quote that you like most – I have miles to go before I sleep, miles to go before I sleep. [Robert Frost]

R – Right or left handed – In some cases I can be ambidextrous.

S – Siblings – Four

T – Time you wake up –. Whenever [see the letter J for Job Title]

U – Underwear – A new brand....Anni's Secret....NOT Victoria's, but Anni's!!

V – Vegetable you dislike – Okra, Asparagus

W – What makes you run late – Never late, never early...just whenever I choose. I'm always on time more or less. Again, retired and no fixed schedules. Dr.'s appointments are the only thing I have to keep track of time.

X – X-rays you’ve had – Dental and Mamograms

Y – Yummy food you make – My own version of Lasagna.

Z – Zoo animal – T-I-G-E-R!!!!!

Reid Park Zoo
Tucson, Arizona
What I loved about Reid Park was the fact when you walked through the turnstyle to enter the zoo...the first exhibit to the left was Asia....the TIGER.
