Questions
When were you embarrassed that you didn't know something? I'll never forget when my mother pronounced epitome as eppy-Tome in front of my dad and he nearly drove off the road laughing. What are your Port Chere words?
Dare I ask how you decorated your dorm room?
I just did a little talk for my church about "otherness" and Judy's sense of intensity about not being labeled is still such a strong motivator, particularly among the young. One of the things I love about being over 50 is that I have fully embraced my inner weirdness - at what age did you do that?
What was your best reading vacation memory? For me it was binge-reading Neil Gaiman's AMERICAN GODS in line at Disney World about 10 years ago and getting the non from a bunch of disaffected teens on vacation with their families. Or reading THE GREAT GATSBY for the very first time at a bus stop in Brussles as bus after bus drove by and I stayed until I was finished.
