late morning

A meme about me, me, me - such a surprise on a blog about me

1. ONE OF YOUR SCARS, HOW DID YOU GET IT? What looks like railroad tracks on my lower back - microdiscectomy, almost three years ago. 2. WHAT IS ON THE WALLS IN YOUR ROOM? Two cat calendars, one starring Yoshi (urbanbeast.ca), and one starring random kittens, and Andrew Wyeth’s “Dog in Master Bedroom” print over the bed.  The rest of the walls have tall bookcases against them. 3. DO YOU SNORE, GRIND YOUR TEETH, OR TALK IN YOUR SLEEP? Mumble sometimes (talking is giving me too much credit), snore sometimes, and I don’t think I ever grind my teeth. 4.
