Ok, someone who prefers to remain nameless has told me to play…

On my next birthday I’ll be forty.

That’s supposed to freak me out, I think, but so far I’m ok with it.

I want to go so many places. I’ve always wanted to go to Africa and Australia. And Fiji. But a trip around the world, staying with people who live there, not in hotels, is something I very much hope to make happen.

My favorite place is the beach. Any beach. This one would do nicely.

Favorite object: books. Lots and lots and lots of books.

Ah, ice cream. It’s always been my favorite food. I can, and very often do, eat it every day. Chocolate, please.

Favorite animal. That’s really hard. If it’s not a rodent, I love it. I guess I’d pick the People of the Forest. But don’t tell my puppies!

Favorite color: purple.

Everything looks good in purple.

I have a lot of nicknames. I love nicknames and I’m glad so many people have made up names that they think suit me. The first one that came to mind is Blue, which is what my brother-in-law calls me.

I was born in Dorchester, Massachusetts, at St. Margaret’s Hospital.

Last and least, I bite my nails.

I think it’s really gross, but I’m going to keep doing it anyway.
