Friday's Feast - 26 October 2007

Appetizer
Name a great website you would recommend to others.

Animal Care League. I volunteer at ACL, walking and socializing dogs. It's a great place, full of staff who care deeply about the dogs and cats and people that they serve. One thing I particularly value about ACL is that the staff cares about good permanent placements. If they think a dog isn't the right one for your home, they'll tell you. If you're looking for a pet, check them out.

Soup
On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 as highest), how often do you dream at night?

7. I dream fairly regularly. But my dreams are rarely regular. :-)

Salad
Did you have a pet as a child? If so, what kind and what was its name?

Many dogs and cats. My favorite cat was Pyewacket. He was a big tiger cat who loved nothing more than to sleep curled around my neck and head every night. My bedroom was darn cold, and I was lonely. I was always very happy to see Pyewacket hop up on my bed.

We also had a number of dogs. Taffy, Bobo, Holly, Fred, George . . . . Many of them were rather ill behaved. Taffy went to live with Grandma after she bit me. Bobo went "to live on the farm." Holly was hit by a car. Fred ran away--and we didn't look for him, as he was a maniac often found on a dining room table nibbling on dinner remains.

George was a keeper, though. Big and sweet. Formed my dog prototype.

Main Course
If you had the chance to star in a commercial, what would you choose to advertise?

Sounds like torture to me. Don't care for being in front of a camera. Right now, though, I'd happily munch on a Honeycrisp apple and proclaim its glories for all to hear!

Dessert
What is your favorite kind of hard candy?

Lemonheads, of course. They are made right over in Forest Park. They are perfect. The outer coating is nice and sour, puckery good. And the hard ball in the middle is sweet and crunchy. Ahh.
