Friday’s Feast – 0708.31

Who is the easiest person for you to talk to?

It depends on the subject. Fuzzy, sometimes, my mother, others, specific friends for specific things.

Soup
If you could live in any ancient city during the height of the quality of its society and culture, which one would you choose?
Venice. Or Rome. I like the architecture, and Italy speaks to me almost as much as France does, but in different ways.

Salad
What is the most exciting event you’ve ever witnessed?
It really depends on the definition of “exciting.” I was less then fifteen feet away from a student who was gunned down on my high school campus when it happened, which was exciting in a bad way. I ran into Richard Lewis in a cafe in Greenwich Village once, and he invited me and the friend I was with to share his table (largely because we all got there at the same time, and there was no other space). I’ve stood in a doorway and watched plate-glass windows gently crumble one after another during an earthquake, and I’ve had a couple of people (authors, composers) comment on my blog.

Main Course
If you were a celebrity, what would you do for a publicity stunt?
Pink Creative Zen Stones with my website listed on them for everyone. Or I’d convince a busy Starbucks to let me pull shots for them for a few hours.

Dessert
What do you consider the ideal age to have a first child?
I’m 37 and have yet to have a child, so I’m not the best person to answer this. I think it’s not so much a matter of age as stability though. I think the ideal time to have a child is when you and your partner have had enough years in your relationship that you’ve worked through really grim times, and come out stronger, and are financially stable enough for one of you to take a significant amount of time from work, and when you’ve both decided you’re ready. And if you’re a single person wanting a child, you need to have worked out the grim times within yourself, and have some kind of support system, because you will need one.

  2. My goodness you have experienced some exciting things! My life seems quite humdrum by comparison, not that I’m complaining :-)

  4. I think I could live without most of that kind of excitement in my life!

    This is a great idea for a post and I have learnt a lot about you :)

    Michele sent me over this time!

  6. Michele sent me and I hope you have a fantastic weekend.

    I agree that age isn’t how you can decide when children would be best.

  8. you seem to have experienced lots of exciting events! :)
    … and I so agree with you dessert.
    many thanks for dropping by!

  10. I had a cat named Fuzzy once, is your Fuzzy a person or animal? It’s my first time to your blog so I apologize if that answer should be obvious. :)

    Now I’m off to look at the African webcam. I hope it’s not dark!
