There's a blue and black parachute spread out in my living room today. Hub Man is home for the holiday and he's playing with his toys. He has the strings all lined up and the thing is all folded just so. It makes me nervous to look at it. I wouldn't trust MY life to that pile of nylon cord and sheeting. Nope. Sorry.
We had a nice block party last night. We ate the required kosher hot dogs from the barbecue, salad, potato chips and I had orange soda. There were kids from all over playing with squirt guns and when it got dark we had fireworks in the middle of the street. It was all very nice and simple. No fuss, no driving. I recommend it.
In keeping with the laid back day, I am lifting these ABC questions from Sezrah's diary.
So here's your dose of trivia for the day from my corner of the world :
A to Z Questions
Act your age?: Most of the time. I'm so RESPONSIBLE it's disgusting.
Born on what day of the week?: Tuesday
Chore you hate?: Washing windows.
Dad's name?: Dad
Essential makeup item?: Mascara

Robin Williams, James Garner, Sean Connery.

Instruments you play?: Piano, guitar, and my own vocal chords. ;-)
Job title?: Oracle Of Pupik
Kids?: Three sons
Living arrangements? : Happily married suburban writer. No pets right now.
Mum's name?: Mom
Need?: A good writing agent to pitch my work to the powers that be. A winning
lottery ticket. A Transporter from Star Trek so I could pop in and see my kids
no matter how far away they are.
Overnight hospital stays?: Only with the birth of each child.
Phobias?: Spiders! Eeek!
Quote you like ? : Who is wise? He who learns from every man. Who is rich? He who is content with his lot. (Sayings of the Fathers…. Pirket Avot.)

backwards with my left hand at the same time. (And I'll bet you a
nickel you can too.) Start with your hands close together and work
in both directions. Don't think about it, just do it. I want to hear if
you try it.
Vegetable you refuse to eat?: Raw onions. And I'd pick them out of the food
at a presidential dinner. ( I hate 'em ! )
