Alright, so here we go. If you like my status, or make a comment, I wont give you a number unless you specifically ask me to - because this thing must be on its last legs by now! Things you might not know about me: I was given 6 by Donna Kopf, and 11 by Jennifer Landry, so I will average that out to an 8.5. This intro counts as the .5: my deep need to make everything balanced. 1. I love old-fashioned Tonka Trucks. The metal ones with all the moving parts, strings and levers - they make me very happy, even if they are rusty and all dinged up. 2. I collect honey from wherever I travel, and hope to have my own apiary someday. In addition to a few NY, PA & VT honeys, I have chestnut honey from Florence, myrtle honey from Rome, olive blossom honey from the Island Krk, Croatia, lavender honey from the North Fork of Long Island, and a particularly potent coffee honey from the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico (which was hilariously marketed to me as being more powerful than Viagra through large hand gestures). I also have a guy I restock my black mangrove, saw palmetto & orange blossom honeys from back home in Florida. Hes at that little tent behind the Colonial & College Publix. 3. I hated New York City until I lived here. 4. I love Volvos. I know. Its weird. I loved them long before the JCVD commercial. I will love them always. 5. I learned to cook at the age of 7 because my dad killed a deer, and I, having recently seen Bambi for the first time, tearfully refused to eat any of it. My parents belonged to the cooking school of Like It, Or Lump It – so I had to make my own dinners. Something clicked, and I was roasting chickens by the time I was 12. 6. I read everything Agatha Christie and Ray Bradbury ever wrote before I was 16, yet I do not own one book by either. 7. I learned to drink tequila from Stacey Keech and Margot Kidder at the Omni Hotel bar in Winston-Salem, NC. Kathleen Turner used to have me help her run lines over bottles of Chardonnay during my slow hours at Nick & Tonis Café. I also smoked a $100 Cuban cigar to the stub one night, after hours, over a VERY fine bottle of port with Christopher Walken, Timothy Hutton and Matt Dillon. We argued about magical realism for at least an hour. 8. Apparently, my great-great grandparents on my fathers side were murdered by pirates off the coast of Brazil, while they were on a mission to retrieve their stolen gold. Laura Tudor can correct me on this, Im sure.
