Tagged! by Ginger*
List 20 Random Facts, she says. Then go tag as many others as it takes you (in minutes) to do this. Hmmm.
1. I don't always face reality gracefully.
2. I wish snacks were anti-oxidants (see #1) and that web surfing were an aerobic exercise.
3. I have no eyebrows to speak at this time.
4. I would like to start a movement honoring integrity and honesty.
5. Tom DeLay and Karl Rove would be ineligible.

6. I was born in California.
7. When I was a child I met several famous authors including Eleanor Cameron and Beverly Cleary.
8. When I was a librarian I often met children's authors including Patricia McKillip and Arnold Adoff.
9. It was as a psychotherapist that I met Tomie DePaola.
10. If my mother hadn't wanted to paint I could have been a painter.
11. I gave a piano recital in college that included Bach, Hayden and Chopin.
12. I still have a flute but haven't played it in at least two years.
13. I am a cat AND dog person.
14. I like lots of things and start more than I finish.
15. I have two children with whom I am delighted.
16. I have a collection of ex libris.
17. I want to visit Denmark. Italy and France would be nice, too.
18. My favorite Dewey Decimal Classification is 398.1 or 2, depending on the local customs. The 641's and 740's are good, too. 19. If I could have a secret power I would be able to change shape.
20. I can find something to like about almost anybody or anything.

Though it's hardly original, I think a cool superpower would be the ability to damn people to Hell for all eternity... but it would get old after a while...

What fascinating facts! This game of tag is so much fun because we learn neat stuff about one another. You know, I've already been tagged TWICE!! I have listed 40 random facts recently, but I will do it one more time (because I think you're great)...I think I could come up with another 20. There are folks who have listed 100 facts, so I guess we could all end up doing that if this game goes on. I'll get to it as soon as I can..take care, Carla

I didn't know you were once a librarian! I was once head of circulation. :-) I am especially fond of the 740s.
