It was brought to my attention that “Sweet Home Chicago” should have been “Sweet Home Alabama” which also has a memorable intro, but no. Here it is, totally different genre.

Are you utterly minimalistic in your lifestyle, an absolute clutterer hoarder, or just messy? Since I live by myself, I am organized and not messy. I am however, clumsy and do create a mess from time to time.

Do you prefer to sit on a chair, cushion, bench, floor or something else for comfort and which? When I moved into this new complex my daughter encouraged me to get a small recliner and it takes off pressure of legs always hanging down in a wheelchair.

What is the most challenging part of your writing process? Trying to keep it fresh.

Do you think you are an addictive or non-addictive personality? I have no doubts—I am an addictive personality. It used to be food and now it is audio books😂

Do you feel in any way, shape or form threatened by the arrival of AI [Artificial Intelligence] opportunities or welcome the progression into your life with ease? I do not welcome it. Especially our young people are already addicted to electronics, cel phones and video games. How can we hope to bring people together when each new interpretation of communication puts us all further apart?

What subjects or topics inspire you to create the most concerning your writing? All.

When was the last time you walked through a graveyard? I rolled through a graveyard in 2014 for Memorial Day in CO.

What are your top five favourite flowers? Roses, daffodils, violets, pansies, and honeysuckle.

What would you say would be your writing quirk? Being myself.

M for mermaid. In folklore, a mermaid is an aquatic creature with the head and upper body of a female human and the tail of a fish. Mermaids appear in the folklore of many cultures worldwide, including Europe, Asia, and Africa. Mermaids are sometimes associated with perilous events such as floods, storms, shipwrecks, and drownings. In Greek mythology, mermaids were often referred to as sirens. The beautiful creatures were sometimes depicted as being half bird also, but the ones that are most popular in myths were beautiful women with fish tails. As beautiful as these sirens were, they were not always the nicest creatures.

L for Ladon. In Greek mythology Ladon was the serpent-like dragon that twisted around the tree in the Garden of the Hesperides where there were nymphs of evening and golden lights of sunset, and guarded the golden apples. The golden apples granted immortality when eaten. Heracles killed Ladon with a bow and arrow and carried the apples away. In an alternate version of the myth, Ladon is never slain, and Heracles instead gets the Titan god Atlas to retrieve the apples. At the same time, Heracles takes Atlas’ place, holding up the sky.

Inspired by Paula Light’s post on Thursday:

A piece of string walks into a bar and asks for a Beer.

The barman says: “I’m sorry we don’t serve pieces of string”.

So the piece of string walks outside, ruffles himself up, walks back into the bar and says: “Can I have a Beer please”.

The barman replies: “Aren’t you that piece of string I just asked to leave”.

To which the piece of string replies: “No, I’m a frayed knot”.
