12. Someday I'd like to write and publish a novel, or at least a collection of short stories.13. Fall is my favorite season, hands down. I find romance in the color of the leaves on the mountainside, the crisp edge of the air, bundled in a blanket sitting out next to the lake watching the stars come out.
14. I spent much of first grade in front of the pencil sharpener facing the wall - punishment for talking in class. That started a trend. When mom and dad went to parent-teacher conferences, the only thing I ever really had to be afraid of was the teacher reporting back to them how much I talked in class. Though Dad knew there was something wrong with my freshman science teacher (and not me), when the teacher told my dad that I never raised my hand and never talked in class. Dad told me it didn't matter that I didn't like the teacher, I still needed to get an A.
15. I love thunderstorms.
16. I had braces when I was in eighth grade.
17. The summer before I graduated from college I rolled a rider lawnmower into the lake at Camp McKinley. I had been helping my father mow grass. I ended up with seven stitches in my head. I guess I'm lucky I didn't do more, possible more permanent, damage to myself.
18. My favorite news program is CBS News Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood. Each segment is an in-depth look at the unique angles of stories leading today's headlines, as well as those I wouldn't otherwise here about. It's kind of like NPR for TV. Besides, who can't get on board with a show who shows a sun as it's brand and as it goes to every commercial break. My only problem? Getting up on Sunday mornings by nine to turn it on.
19. Some times I can be my own worst enemy.
20. My favorite flower is the Gerber daisy.
