Here are some more of those PostSecret questions I stole.
If there was a biography of you, how would you want to be described?
As improbable and episodic.
What choice are you thankful that you did not make?
This is difficult, actually, because what usually comes to mind I are decisions I made that I’ve regretted. I suppose not saying something hurtful to people when they had hurt me first.
What is the best advice you remember from your father?
He bought me a wallet in Savannah, which was way better than having loose bills in my pocket.
Is there anything you wish you had said to someone but didn’t have the chance?
My sisters and I have talked about this at length. We wished, at some level, that we had asked our father about his growing up. But we didn’t want to embarrass him or cause him pain, so we never did. The weird thing is that we knew some details indirectly, from his wife and even his mother-in-law.
Can you teach me something?
Probably. At some level, the intention of this blog is to teach something. There are only 14 ways a calendar is presently devised. Estelle Axton belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Here’s one thing at least three of my interns did not know. Use Ctrl-F to Find specific text in a document. I was shocked that they were not aware of that.
What is something you would like me to ask you?
Almost anything. I’ll let you know when you’ve overstepped.
What do you wish you would have spent less time worrying about?
Money, and the lack thereof.
What is something you deliberately did not tell me as a child and why?
Maybe I still haven’t…
What is the best part of your day? What makes you feel most alive?
Sometimes it’s when I wake up in the middle of the night, and the house is asleep except for the male cat. I check my email, and he puts his front paws on my left leg. He wants me to scratch him under his chin. Then he goes away, usually.
