The ghosts of gift exchange past and future reared their ugly heads this evening. A transcription of their comments:
-Distant past: Claudio: "This is lovely and really unique gift. I will treasure it forever."
-Recent past: Claudio, on March 13: "This thing was sitting in my office for two years."
-More recent past: Beth, on March 14: "This will go great with everything else in my office. Let me fill it with pens!"
-Distant future: Beth: "This thing has been sitting in my office for two years."
Pat Sajak gives "limp fish" handshakes |
-Profession: Den mother to college students
-Favorite ambient temperature: 78 degrees Fahrenheit
-As a former Deadhead, do you reminisce when you eat Cherry Garcia ice cream?: I love it, but I don't get sentimental over it.
-You were once a contestant on Wheel of Fortune. Did the wheel give you motion sickness?: No, but it's a lot heavier than I thought. I didn't get to solve any puzzles either. I remember being seven months pregnant and they made me stand on several boxes. I looked like a gargantuan next to the others.
-Kazoos have a special meaning for you?: I used to play my kazoo at my son's baseball games. We would go to Eden, NY to the American Kazoo Museum. It was great. And right next to the Jell-O museum.
