Wish I was there . .
My passport is ready and I can be packed in minutes.

Friday Feast

Appetizer: What are you proud of?
I am proud of my family, of my insatiable need to continually learn, and of my stubbornness.

Soup: What is the best thing you’ve ever won as a prize?
When I was twelve my grandfather put my name into a drawing and I won a ten speed bike. it was baby blue and I thought I was all that and a bag of chips with the handle bar breaks. When I was in law school I won a mock trial competition and a set of law books with enthralling titles such as Opening Statements, Evidence, and Trial Preparation. I used the bike more than the books.

Salad: Name something you do that is a waste of time.
Bathe my children. Why bother - ten minutes later they are covered in dirt or food.

Main Course: In what year of your life did you change the most?
The year my daughter was born. Before that it was all about me, all of the time. Within six weeks of her birth, I changed jobs to work part time, and went from putting criminals in jail to representing them.

Dessert: Where is a place you consider to be very tranquil?
Any mountain - the Austrian Alps, Mt. Battie and Mount Katahdin in Maine, the White Mountains in New Hampshire, the Swiss Alps. A quiet hiking trail, a picnic of water, fruit, chocolate, and cheese, and cool air.

What a great feast!

What happened to your bike? Do you still have it?

I'm with you on the picnic but I think I'd want a glass of red- or white -with the fruit, chocolate and cheese!
: )

Pam - The bike is still in my parent's attic and I agree with you about the wine. A good addition to the picnic.

What a lovely Feast - all courses - and the dessert sounds relaxingly good (may I ad the Norwegian mountains too LoL)

I look forward to adding some Norwegian mountains in June!

Amen to the bathing kids. This is along the same lines of why I remodeled our main floor bathroom the colors of dirt, blood and grass. It all needs to blend.
