Randomly Random

And we're back from the bakery with an even dozen. Or should I say, a random dozen. That's right, folks. Here's a dozen questions that you have never always wondered about me. Once you read my answers, and comment on them of course, click on the donuts to go to Lid's and read lots of other random dozen answers that are as varied as the Dunkin Donuts around the corner. Only less fattening. Enjoy!
1. Describe the best sandwich in the world, according to you.

Arby's french dip and swiss is to die for.
2. Which inspires you more: a good conversation, a song, a book or movie?
I'm inspired by the good conversation that was started because of the title song played in a movie that was based on a book.
3. What is your favorite board game?
I love Balderdash. And Outburst. Yessir, lying and shouting louder than everyone else. Two areas where I really excel.
4. As you grow older, are you more or less patient with small children?
This question would imply I once had patience with small children.
5. Name one item you never let yourself run out of.
I always have chocolate on hand in some form. It is as essential as breathing.
6. Do you agree with Tennyson's assertion, "'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all?"
Sounds kind of like the team that says they don't care about winning--they just play for the joy of the game. You never hear the winners saying that.
7. Name one national treasure or monument that you have visited.
I've been to quite a few, but I'd like to go back and visit them again now that I've seen National Treasure. I don't think I'd be so careful to stay inside the tourist boundaries the next time.
8. Which is more painful, to be disappointed in someone else or to be disappointed in yourself?
Ask Tennyson. He seems to be the man with all the answers.
9. What makes your kitchen uniquely yours?
The mortgage payment.
10. Are you a crafty person?
I once went to a tag party for scrapbooking. Everyone was supposed to make tags to give to everyone else at the party. I used stick-ons to create my kindergarten-equivalent tags. I finished in the first fifteen minutes and then hid my tags and watched everyone else work.
11. What is your favorite traditional picnic or bbq (cookout) food?
Whatever meat was on sale that week.
12. Name one leisurely activity you enjoyed over Labor Day Weekend.
Taking the family out on the boat. Tubing was great fun until the alligator showed up!
