Congrats, cturtle! A well deserved honor. Looking forward to your day.

A belated hip hip hooray to Pattifan2...

And a shout out to today's celebrity of honor, cturtle! Cheers!

My random question:
What is your typical order at Starbucks (if any!)?

Congrats Cturtle!

Btw, I finally got the Wicked Olympics clips you sent me to work, and I loved them.

I see that you’re not crazy about the question-answer portion of our show, but if you feel like answering some, here are a few questions for you. And, if not, no sweat.

What has given you the most pleasure in the last year?

If you could be anyone you wanted to be today, who would you be, and what would you do?

If your house were on fire, what would you grab on the way out?

If we asked an important person in your life to describe you, what would he or she say? How accurate would it be?

What’s something that you’ve never done, but have always wanted to try?

Good choices! Gordeeva and Grinkov and Torvill and Dean are my favorites too. I cried so much when Grinkov died--I cut out everything in newspapers and magazines I could find that talked about it. A memorial pastel that I drew promptly went up on my bulletin board.

And Torvill and Dean...just wow! My parents had taped a Great Performances special on PBS about them. I wish I still had that tape; it was just increadible!
