What weird food do you like?

I wrote a piece about why Peter is the Best Dad Ever for a competition on WETA’s Sunday broadcast.  I won tickets to the Old Timers’ Baseball Game at RFK Stadium later that year, and treated hubby and two of his brothers to an evening with their childhood idols.
  • Summer, 2017 – With no prompting at all, I’ve written two country/western lyrics. Go figure!

  • Yard Crashers, b/c my own yard is the one of the saddest pieces of property ever. No grass, just weeds.

What’s the coolest thing you’ve ever done?

  • Apparently fooled Parisian waiters into thinking I was a food critic and got slammin’ service and free drinks as a result – then walked around the Arc de Triomphe twice b/c I was too drunk to find the right street to get back to the hotel.

What’s the coolest thing you’re about to do?

  • Open the champagne that’s waiting in the fridge when I sign a contract. UPDATE: Hubby opened it for our first picnic of the year. Oh, well!
