Friday's Feast, March 23

Appetizer
Who is your favorite news anchor/reporter? Why?
I really like Meredith Vieira, Steve Doocy, Harry Smith, and Lisa Ling. They all seem like people I could be friends with. :-) They all seem like genuine people with a good sense of humor and a family-type life like me.

Soup
Name 3 foods that are currently in your freezer.
(These are some I am happy to have in there.)
Blue Bell French Vanilla ice cream---best of the best!
chicken drumsticks
waffles

Salad
If you were to have the opportunity to name a new town or city, what would you call it?
I don't know about this! I guess I should name it after someone in the family. My daughter already has a town with her name (we passed through it two summers ago). After my son? We could name it after his online name: Ollie Ribbons. So how about Ollietown? Ribbonston? Ollieville? Ollie's Glen?

This is sort of like naming a new town: in our town, we are building a new high school (in addition to the super-5A we already have) and a new junior high (it'll be jr. high #4). The tradition in our district is to name schools after notable Texans. The name of the high school that I picked---Rudder High School---was the one they picked. It was a good, obvious choice, not just my preference. They also picked the mascot name I wanted---the Rangers. But the school colors I wanted---yellow and black---were not picked. All the schools here from elementary to high school have blue in them (I didn't know that!), so they'll be blue and green. I was interested in this because I knew we'd be zoned for the new high school. James Earl Rudder was a WWII D-Day hero, and he led a division of men called "Rudder's Rangers," with an emblem they wore that was yellow and black.

Main Course
What will most likely be the next book you read?
On my nightstand, fresh from the library, is Building Literacy with Love: A Guide for Teachers and Caregivers of Children From Birth Through Age 5. This is work related read! I have a list in my wallet for the next library trip:
To Kill a Mockingbird
Angela's Ashes (McCourt)
Like Water for Chocolate (Esquivel)
It will depend on which ones are available in the library, I guess! Any suggestions?

Dessert
What's the first thing you notice about the opposite gender?
I guess how tall they are---I am not looking at the opposite gender for dates anymore, so I just notice the obvious! ;-)
