Eight Random Things About Me
I was tagged by Susie:
1. The very first record I ever bought was a Nonesuch disc of Vaughn Williams' "Variations on a Theme of Thomas Tallis."
2. I prefer hot chocolate to coffee in the morning.
3. Out of the thousands of musicals I've played over the years, "A Chorus Line" is still my favorite.
4. I don't own a DVD or VHS player and I'm functioning just fine, thanks.
5. My favorite television program is "Emeril Live."
6. Among the jobs I've held: hardware store clerk and paint mixer; computer trainer; public radio station program director; college instructor; data base manager; newspaper music critic;
telephone fundraising solicitor.
7. I'm a really lousy liar so I don't even try anymore.
8. The three most powerful words in the English language for an interviewer are "tell me more." If you are looking for the interviewee to hang themselves or sell themselves, this is the phrase that bursts the dam.

any one of the reveres (you can work this out among yourselves)

I didn't write this in my own list, but it is one of the stranger truths of my life over the last few years. When sickness took over our house, we stopped watching TV, and even after I was free to go back to the old evening routines and schedules, I just could not do it. I still can't. Sometimes I force myself to go to watch some good TV -- I must be one of the few people around who thinks of a bit of TV as a sign of mental health, towards which I strive (so far unsuccessfully).
