Appetizer
Name a song you know by heart.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.
You make me happy when skies are gray.
You'll never know dear, how much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away!

My mom sang it to me, and I to my daughter.

Soup
What will you absolutely not do in front of another person?
Stick my finger in my nose. See? I can't even say it.

Salad
How often do you use mouthwash and what kind do you like?
I kind of like the new citrus flavored Listerine, but only when I have a sore throat.

Main Course
Finish this sentence: I am embarrassed when...
I am terribly embarrassed when someone recognizes me from back in the day and, for that minute that seems like an eternity, I cannot connect. This always amazes me because my appearance has changed dramatically. How do they know? Last week I attended a meeting in a neighboring school corporation. One of my counterparts took me by the hand to meet her secretary, who she said recognized me from high school. Mind you, this was 33+ years ago. Once again my fear materialized right in front of my eyes. It reminds me of a scene from "Hook", the Peter Pan remake. The little boy is looking deep into an adult Peter Pan's eyes, while holding his face closely, his hands on Pan's cheeks. He is searching for the Pan he remembers from years before. Everyone is quiet. He cocks his head, squints his eyes, and exclaims, "Oh, there you are Peter!" That's what I am looking for, but cannot seem to find fast enough. How embarrassing.

Dessert
What was the last food you craved?
That's easy. Red beans and rice.
