Thanks very much to Jaleh D. for handing on this award! As part of the award, I have to tell you ten unusual things about myself, and pass the award on to 5 people. Let's start with the ten things:
1. When I was 12 I was in a movie with Ray Bolger, the Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz.
2. I feel paralyzed when I attempt to play chess.
3. My son thinks I'm not a good guesser because I say "I don't know" too much.
4. I'm teaching my husband to take care of himself when he's sick.
5. I got the flu from George H. W. Bush.
6. I've seen all three Great Buddhas in Japan.
7. My daughter likes to dance with me to Celtic music.
8. I have a concave sternum, which made my x-ray technician gasp in surprise.
9. I played piano for ten years.
10. I have eaten candied crickets.
And here are my awardees:
1. Deb Salisbury at Deb Salisbury, Magic Seeker
2. J. Kathleen Cheney at In the Void
3. Megan S. Payne at Odds and Ends and Scattered Bits

ReplyDelete#1 - I knew one of Ray Bolger's nephews in college, who lived in my dorm.
ReplyDelete#2 - We should play chess some time! ;)
Those are fascinating tidbits. What were the crickets like?
ReplyDeleteDeb, you're welcome!
ReplyDeleteJDsg, it seems you are interested to see me panicked/flustered over a chessboard? Hmmm... well, I'm afraid it won't happen until I have the nerve to play against my son.
Jaleh,
The crickets were actually tasty - crunchy and sweet, a bit like some snack foods but without any hint of oiliness.

ReplyDeleteSo, what was the movie? And was Mr. Bolger nice to you?
ReplyDeleteSam, the movie was a short educational film from Shire Films, about poetry, called "Beware the Jabberwock." Mr. Bolger was awesome. He had a wide mischievous streak and would break the tension of a late evening's shooting by cracking us all up.
ReplyDelete@ Juliette: JDsg, it seems you are interested to see me panicked/flustered over a chessboard?
ReplyDeleteNot to see you flustered, but just to make sure I would win the game. ;)
Aha, I've been behind in blog reading, and am just now catching up. (Been using the laptop)
ReplyDeleteWill tackle this tomorrow ;o)
Oooh, fun! Thanks so much! Off to try to find ten unusual things to tell you about boring old me. :)
