1) Why did you choose your current DU avatar?
It's a picture of one of the flags of the Mi'kmaq tribe. One of my grandmothers (g-g-g) was, according to a cousin who has compiled a family genealogy, a full blooded Mi'kmaq. Plus it's colorful.
2) What interesting thing would I find out about you if I knew your name and googled you?
Absolutely nothing. For anything really interesting, I would have to actually tell you my life story.
3) What have you done with your weekend?
Painted my Adirondack chair, wandered out to my pond to watch the frogs and minnows, did a lot of reading, helped Mr Pipi move stuff around in the living room in preparation for some home construction stuff we're doing this week, listened to music on my iPad, did laundry, did more laundry.
4) What are you looking forward to doing, seeing, or trying later during this calendar year?
As with every year, looking forward to August, when the crickets chirp at night and the days are golden and mellow. Also, hurricane season, because I'm fascinated by them. I don't like that they cause so much death and destruction, but I can't help being overwhelmed with awe at their power.
