. . . A few little-known, and undoubtedly little-cared-about, facts about your host at Prevailing Winds:
If I could have any material item in the world -- anything -- I'd pick a brand-new Airstream travel trailer, something on the low end of Airstream indulgence that could be towed by our 2003 Dodge Dakota. I suspect I'm in for a long wait, but a gal can dream.
I love board games. I'm a dreadful chess player, a novice cribbage player, an OK backgammon player, and a crackerjack dominoes fiend. Really. The gloves come off and battle is declared . . . even though I lose more than I win, I manage to look tough in the heat of competition. Ask my niece.
My favorite movie is "The Color Purple," followed by "Waiting For Guffman," "Broadcast News," and "Boys On The Side." An eclectic list made more puzzling, I guess, by the fact that I've never seen "The Wizard Of Oz." And, if I'm lucky, I'll turn 90 without being subject to Dorothy's whiny voice above the clamor of flying monkeys and chirping little Munchkins. See "a gal can dream," above.
Finally, I am not a summer person. Not a warm-weather person, not a sunny-skies person, not a temps-in-the-90s person. Give me gray, cloudy, cold, and wet, and I'm happy. Odd, but happy. Bring me September, please!

Not a summer person??? Well, then is good that you are not here since we have been frying. But we miss you, and we hope you move back real soon.
I must want the color purple one of these days.
Take care.
PS: I send you an email with a boring short story (my personal statement).
So nice to hear from an old Western Washington friend and comrade! Thanks, Tania, and enjoy the sunshine (even I think this has been especially pretty summer!)
Love,
Keely
