What are you doing in my kitchen?
Oh sorry. I couldn't sleep and I didn't want to wake anyone. I just had this urge to make some sandwiches on dollar rolls for everyone. Thought it would be a nice gesture on my part. After all, you have all been so nice to me. Would you like mayo or mustard on your tuna and pickle sandwich?
What is it with some of you writers?
Well, ya see... we have this imagination thing that just keeps us talking to ourselves quite a bit. Then some of us feel the need to type it out on the computer (one can never read my handwriting), and see what the voices are telling us. Once in a while it makes sense.
You didn't let me finish the question. What is it with some of you writers and pajamas?
Ohhhhh. Yeah. Ya like? I'm kinda old school with the sweat pant looking pajamas. Something about the blue with triple white stripes down the leg makes me feel athletic even as I sit on the recliner with laptop on lap typing away.
Do you ever answer anything seriously?
Ummm, yes. Sometimes. Quite often actually. Well, not necessarily often. Maybe more like once in a while. On a whim. Usually while I'm sleeping and can not stop myself, I may answer a question seriously. Granted, I probably would not have heard the question so I most likely would not be actually answering the question should I even speak while asleep. At least I think that's my correct answer to your question.
What are you listening to right now?
Students in the hallway (I'm at lunch at the day job), asking each other where are they headed. It's fun at the start of a new school year (writing this on August 20th) listening to folks talking amongst themselves to see who is the least lost.
I heard you started a cookbook. What's up with that?
It's actually my mom's cookbook. Family recipes, a few from friends. Trust me, you wouldn't want me to design a recipe (is that the computer geek in me saying design?) from scratch as though I knew what I was doing. I've been working on the book for what seems like years. No, I have not been just sitting doing a lot of noting instead of putting it together and getting it out there. Really. Oh look, a penny.
I gotta go eat something for now. I shall return to answer more of the viewer/reader mail. Thanks for dropping by. Now go write something or get something accomplished.
Do as I say, not as I do
