Remembrance of Things Right Now...Part Two
Tuesday, May 12, 2009 at 8:00PM Mrs. G. 
Mrs. G. isn't throwing out the Proust questionnaire because she has writer's block or is too busy washing her hair. There is a method to her madness, so if you have time, please reveal yourselves in the next seven questions. You'll see the results next week. Don't you just hate when people do that? It's interesting that the predominant fear of most of you is something happening to your children. Jenn and Mrs. G. are the only ones who fear plunging to their deaths in vehicles. No road trips with you, Jenn.
