For Thursday 13 today, here are some questions I’d like to know about my readers, whether you’re new or a veteran. It’s good to know about the people who frequent me. These are things I typically find myself curious about. Feel free to answer some of them or all.
- What part of the country are you from? Big town or small?
- Do you have kids?
- What food would make you sad if you could not eat it for the rest of your life?
- How did you start blogging/get interested in the realm of blogging?
- Of all the places you have visited in the U.S., what city is your favorite?
- Name one place you’d rather be right now.
- Do you do most of your blog reading at work or at home?
- Do you have a PC or a laptop?
- Name one of your goals for this month.

As a writer, blogging seemed like the perfect canvas. It’s my writer’s filing cabinet and petrie dish at the same time. For #11 I’d answer: My son’s high school graduation.
Okay! I feel complimented 🙂 Thank you for asking about me, well, your readers 🙂
1. I am from the South. I live in a small town. Our internet goes out so much, along with other stuff, I often say we have a third-world infrastructure 🙂 There is not even a bookstore for about 30 miles away.
2. I have a son that will be 20 in November.
3. I think I would die without chocolate. It cures everything, you know.
4. I wanted to be able to connect with people beyond myself and here. I enjoy seeing life through other eyes and perspectives.
5. A few years ago, I would have said New Orleans was my favorite city to visit. But now, it is just not the same. I used to live in Chalmette. I would say now, perhaps San Francisco, but I am terrified of the earthquakes. Maybe Denver or Colorado Springs.
6. Right now, I’d rather be in Venice, having tea on the Grand Canale, surrounded by history and art 🙂
7. I do the blog reading at home.
8. I have a laptop, but often, as now, use my iPad.
9. One goal: To get at least 5 books read this month.
10. The last restaurant I ate at would be Colton’s Steakhouse.
11. Daddy died in 1989.
12. I found your blog through the Thursday Thirteen site. I liked it, so came back.
13. I will go from here back to the Thursday Thirteen site to see who is next on the list. I wonder who they will be and what they have chosen to think and write about.
It has been more fun than I anticipated sharing my answers with you. Thank you, again, for asking. I hope you have a nice rest of the week. If you’d like to, I’d like to know your answers to the questions too. Know you better too. You could even just email them to me if that would be easiest for you. Or you are always welcome at my blog. Ta 🙂
