The Me Meme

As you may have noticed, I haven't blogged much lately... I just can't seem to find the time.  Hopefully, that will end soon.  In the interim, I have decided that I am going to totally steal a few memes... like this one that I gopt from.... well, someone that I don't know.  Anyway, please to enjoy.

1. You’re building your dream house. What’s the one thing that this house absolutely, positively MUST HAVE? (other than the obvious basics of course)

I don't really think much about cars, to tell the truth.  There are cars that I would enjoy, but you know... eh.

3. What is your favorite website that isn’t a blog?
Huffington Post!

Droid (I crave a smart phone of any sort, but as much as I love Apple products, I believe in widening the pool of availability, hence my choice of Droid)

Scrapple.

Mrs Ruth Deusinger.  She was my 12th grade history teacher.  She was the most wonderful teacher that I have ever known, and had a profound effect on my already deep love of history.  That woman was a scholar, and an old-school teacher.  She was the best.
