Earth Day
Posted by Cyn | Filed under Holidays
Plinky asked, “Do you celebrate Earth Day?”
Not really. I do my best to be environmentally responsible every day, instead of saving it for one day of the year. I recycle, use mass transit, buy locally produced food as much as possible, and take other steps so that I really have a very small carbon footprint these days.
Biographies or Memoirs?

Plinky asked, “What’s the most interesting biography or memoir you’ve read?”
Dreams are necessary to life~Anais Nin
Anais Nin’s books come to mind right away, honestly. They’re so intense and sensual that they’ve stuck in my mind, although I only read them once and my copies disappeared 20 years ago.
Camryn Manheim’s autobiography was quite good, too. I don’t read many of that genre (or haven’t since childhood), so I don’t have that many books to choose from here.
Breakfast for Dinner, Yes!

Plinky asked, “Breakfast for dinner: Are you a fan?”
Absolutely! Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, but I don’t usually take time for the great big meal that I remember fondly from Sunday mornings at my parents’ house. Buttermilk biscuits, sawmill gravy, eggs, bacon, sausage, and grits are a “real breakfast” and that’s just too heavy for the first meal of the day most of the time. They’re great for supper, though, if there are enough people around to share!
Favorite Coffee Shop

Plinky asked, “What’s your favorite place to grab a cup of coffee?”
I’m pretty happy having coffee at home, but if I’m out and about, I’ll swing by Starbucks with the rest of the mob. It’s nice and predictable, and I’m admittedly not a coffee snob. I just want my raspberry-vanilla mocha with the whipped cream on top, and that counts as dessert treat as much as anything else.
Woo hoo!

Plinky asked, “What was the last thing you got really excited about?”
My ukulele! I wish I had a photo of her to post, but I don’t. She’s a travel tenor, which means that she’s a bit bigger than the “standard” (soprano) ukulele most people are used to seeing, but also thinner than a normal tenor. She has a lovely voice, a little deeper than a soprano uke. She isn’t a toy like the one on which I originally learned to play, either. And she’s mine all mine!
