Which of your friends have you known for the longest amount of time?

An Old Friend

Astoria Park

I have known my best friend Teri for forty years as well as all the guys on the block and they know who they are, Rob, Steve and company. We knew each other when we were still innocent and untainted by the stress and troubles of the world. Children are honest and genuine and that’s when we were together, hanging out, talking, laughing and getting into trouble.

Do you support same-sex marriage?

On Same-Sex Marriage

Yes I do. Why should the heterosexual population hog all the misery, lol!? If two people love each other, regardless of gender, they should be able to have the freedom to have the same protections and rights afforded to you when you are part of a married couple. Marriage is hard and heterosexuals cannot claim marriage for their own, it would be hypocritical, the divorce rate in this country is 50 percent, same sex marriage can’t ruin marriage any more than that.

What kind of shopkeeper would you be?

If you were going to open up a shop, what would you sell?

Set Up Shop

French Pastry

I would call my shop “The Peasant’s Table” and I would sell baked goods such as Pain au chocolat, croissant, tarts and caramels and a whole other bunch of French pastries. It would be a lot of work, a little, no a lot of scary. Odds of success? Rare.

Bye, bye penny

Should the U.S. get rid of the penny?

The Penny Debate

I love coins, all coins. I still look for the elusive 1943 copper penny that is worth a bit of money because it was a mistake minted by the Treasury. In 1943, the government minted pennies in aluminum to keep the metal for the military. If we do away with the penny how are we going to have the specials such as “on sale for $3.99 or $4.99!” It won’t be the same.

Road Trip Essentials

Narrow road over Atlas

Nowadays I would say a successful road trip is getting to the destination as quickly as possible. That means a full tank of gas, good directions, Werther’s sugar free hard candies for my throat; I have come to appreciate a quiet car, but if my fellow passengers need music all I ask is that it is not country music and if possible, good conversation.

Laughter, the best medicine

When I Need a Laugh

2005 NYTVF Opening Night Party

My hubby is my guaranteed laughter go to and if he needs some laughter, he will find American Funniest Home video’s, get me into the room and wait for my hyena cackle to start and that gets him laughing as well.
