Thanks, anonymous. I feel that I know you a lot better now.

1. I loved the Indigo Girls concert Mari and I went to at the Chicago Theater a few years ago and the Sweet Honey in the Rock/Ladysmith Black Mambazo concert we heard at the Ravinia Music Festival last summer with the Gibsons was a lot of fun.
2. I'd like for John Denver to come back from the dead and play Ravinia.
3. My favorite animals at the zoo are the human beings who are old enough to marvel at the fauna, but not yet old enough to feel guilty about keeping them in cages.
4. When I was in the fifth grade, my classmates called me "Beethoven."
5. On the question of the last time I went to the dentist, I plead the 5th.
6. Chess or checkers? Neither.
7. Cards or dominoes? Cards. I don't really like to play chess, checkers, cards or dominoes, though.
8. I’m sort of re-reading Blackboard Jungle as I write about it. It's a misogynistic disaster.
9. I like my coffee as far away from me as possible.
10. The CD player at our house holds 51 CDs. We don't have a car.
11. I wear a watch, which I love because of its "Indiglo" feature—which lights up the face like a lightning bug when I press a button.
12. I prefer Jack Black a thousand times over Napoleon Dynamite.
13. The first day I can take advantage of shorts weather is my favorite day of the year.
14. I have sailed. I sail. You could even say I'm a sailor.
15. I have never been snowmobiling, and I don't much want to go. I associate it with winter noise-making.
16. I guess popcorn is my favorite late-night snack.
17. In my day, I have played piano, guitar, and trumpet.
18. I have ridden a horse alone.
19. I wish I could time travel.
20. If my alarm clock could play any sound, I would like it to say "you don't have to get up yet" in a whispering voice so low that I can't hear it.
