Hi Roo-
Thanks for playing along! I like learning where we overlap (heritage, laughter, photography, Ugly Betty, etc....) and finding out new things! I'll have to click on the music links on your page and start discovering these artists.
We've got our fingers crossed you guys have lots of snow in Tahoe!

Great meme! Hope you get published in 2007 (and, of course, I wish for peace, too).

I was just catching up on a couple of blogs and saw this Meme one. I think they can be fun too, especially when they are silly or even dare I say "inappropriate." Since I had a slow workday, I took your Meme and your answers and made up an alternative goofy one for you. I think I need more assignments at work if I have this much time on my hands…Enjoy, and please note some are quite, um, exaggerated. I have a sick sense of humor. Keep bloggin'!--KRL

Hi All -

Gail -- keep in mind KRL did say some items were "exaggerated"!!!
