Could there really be seven things no one knows about me? Or, no one who reads this blog? Sheesh – after three and a half years, don’t you know everything you want to know?
Well, since my bloggy buddy Jill M. Foster asked, I have to respond. Here goes:
1. I hate gefilte fish.
2. I taught archery for my local recreation department when I was a teenager.
3. I played Antigone’s sister in a high school production of Antigone.
4. I recruited and hired interns for the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Public Affairs Speakers Bureau in the early 1980s.
5. I crashed in a hotel room on the island of Capri that belonged to two guys from Massachusetts whom I didn’t know because when I got off the ferry and they were offering up rooms, they would only give the rooms to parties of two or more, and I was traveling by myself so these two guys “adopted” me for a couple of nights. They also got me to taste freshly caught octopus – I hated it, but not as much as gefilte fish.
6. I was proposed to and turned down a marriage offer.
7. If I had another daughter, I would name her Paige or Suzanna.
Wow – haven’t done that kind of thinking in a while, or tagged others (I’m supposed to tag seven) – who should now consider themselves tagged:
It’s kind of a fun trip down memory (or suppressed memory) lane.

Well, I knew most of that stuff. Not the Paige or Suzanna & not the Capri. There must be LOTS more no no knows – especially me!
I have to keep some things to myself, you know. How much don’t I know about YOU, after all?
How much indeed!
Even with horseradish? It’s herring I hate!
Hi Jill,
Thank a lot, Jill!
Interestingly enough, Ann Handley, a writer over at that little old blog-The Huffington Post, tagged me on the “5″ things.
Which I graciously did.

…love your story with Island of Capri images now floating in my mind.
I hate gefilte fish too. I love horseradish, but there’s not enough horseradish or hot enough horseradish to get me through one bit. And i love everything. My family thinks I’m nuts. But I don’t know how people eat that stuff.
Jill I am so agreeing with you on the gefilte fish. I can add herring (my grandmother kept an open container of herring in the frig on NY’s Eve — some kind of a polish superstition to bring good luck in the New Year. I think the frig smelled like herring for a month afterwards lol.
That Capri Island adventure sounds like a good story over coffee!
I’ve finally got my seven things to tell but now I have to think of the right seven to tag. Looking forward to hearing everyone’s seven items!
