- I lived in upstate NY as a kid, but didn't learn to ski until I was in high school. And if it weren't for my friend Woody, who was similarly "behind," I might still be a non-skiier. Thanks, Woody!
- I can only wink one eye, and that one not very well. My Oma was an incredible, equal-opportunity winker, but I didn't inherit that gift.
- I haven't been bored since I learned how to read. (In our home we treat the words "bored" and "boring" as if they were extremely vile curse words.)
- Names matter to me. For the longest time, I didn't like sourdough bread and cheesecake because they sounded horrible. (Now, of course, I love them both.)
- I am actively trying to decrease the number of prized possessions in my life.
- I have no pictures of my college graduation; my camera died that day.
- I sometimes miss people I have never met. e.g. Brainy, Octavia Butler...
- My favorite animal is the otter.

I don't really do the "pass it on" part of memes,
but if you're so moved, consider yourself tagged.)

*I* have pictures of your graduation -- in albums and in my heart. Jim Henson got an honorary degree that day (and Stevie Wonder...and some academics who ONLY discovered a new way to look at protons or something...) And when Jim Henson went up to receive his degree, the entire graduating class burst into a warm, soft, "Can you tell me how to get, how to get to sesame Street?" Brown braniacs, all, and all raised on the show. (-:
