Hi there! Welcome to the Spotlight. Here are a few questions for you.The theme is (mostly) desert island, i.e. suppose you were stranded on one... and don't worry about the technology to support your choices, that will be taken care of...

1. What would be your five Desert Island CDs? They don't need to come from your own collection. Why would you choose these particular ones?

Hmm...
1. Kenny Logins: A house at Pooh Corner. It's a CD with lullabyes that he did for his son. Some are tradtional some he wrote. I currently play it every night to go to sleep
2. Garth Brooks: Live. Gotta have my Garth!

3. Ygdrassil the world tree: It's my meditation CD

4. Crazy frogs!! They are so fun and can get me up dancing every time

5.The Beatles: Seargeant Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band. Gotta have the Beatles!

2. You might also want some reading material. What would be your five Desert Island books? Why?
The Sagas and Eddas. These are Norse stories that tell how the world began and how man came to be.
Celtic Wisdom. Lots of good thoughts in this.
Wuthering Heights. Everyone needs a little Heathcliff
a book on edible plants and one on suvival techniques.


3. What else would you like to have with you to occupy your time and your mind? My dog Pea Diddle, if he couldn't keep me occupied, nothing can

4. You'll also need food. If you could have only two or three foods and nothing else, what would you choose? Why?
beans and rice and spinach. The beans and rice because together they make a complete protien and are nutritious and the spinach for the iron and vitamin c

5. If you could have one human companion, who would that be? Why?
The love of my life George. It just wouldn't be the same without him, though I'd try to sneak my oldest daughter too, she's so funny and so much a part of our lives that the world would be empty without her.

This one is not part of the theme:

6. If you came into a large sum of money -- an unexpected inheritance, a winning, whatever, but "set-you-up-for-life" big -- what would be the first four things you would do?
Pay off my student loans, buy a house on acreage so I could become a cat lady, help my family pay off thier debts and go on a cruise around the world!

I think the beaches would be great to go for a "honeymoon". Very relaxing and romantic.

Dare I ask how Pea Diddle got his name?

This was a case of it just stuck
He started out as Biscuit, because of his coloring, then it went to Bandit, because he'd swipe the toys right out of the kitties mouths, but Pea Diddle stuck because he was soooooo little, he was a pip squeak, then a p-squeak, then a pea diddle, all this happened before he'd been here two weeks
