I had to google Ephesus but wasn't shocked 'cause you like old crumbling down cities with gobs of character and history. I thought the sax was for Billy C. Thursday just plain stumped me.
I loved this - loved just nodding my head & thinking, yes, yes, of course she would be, and I only know you through blogging. :) I believe you are already a hurricane!
This is so cool and very interesting. I might have to steal this idea from you :)
I love lists, especially yours :)
I love how smart and engaging you are. I'm gonna have to write Shokoofeh a letter thanking her for suggesting your blog. It really is wonderful! Along with your other blogs, your Tumblr and your Flickr pages too.
Thank you so much for the thoughts on Blogger and the Wordpress tip you left on my blog. I think I'll have to move over there. :( I couldn't get into my blogs again this morning...and I really do miss you guys when that happens.
if i were a door i'd be unlocked. not open, as in open to the world, but unlocked, as in open to friends. loved all of it, you are so good at giving us who you are, and keeping us coming back for more...
oooo, must do too! and straight off you know we're the same kind of shoes. and I love your song, one of my all time fav's too. paul simon was one of the first international artists to appear live in SA after the change - we went to see his Born at the Right Time tour in 1992 and wept through most of it, we were completely over-emotional over-joyed teenagers - good memories...

The fun part of it was that my husband participated and had immediate ideas on almost all of them and most I agreed with.

This is a wonderful post. I'm thinking I'll have to do this on a day when I'm out of ideas for what to post. Will spur new insiration, I think.

not open, as in open to the world, but unlocked, as in open to friends.

What a fun exercise! I'll have to think about these.
March 27, 2010 at 6:31 PM
Quite the lovely list! Worth mulling over indeed.
March 28, 2010 at 3:29 AM
Gosh, this was fun!
I had an answer immediately for each one!
March 28, 2010 at 5:50 AM
Did this yesterday on my blog - it is a pretty eye-opening thing, and tougher than it first appears.
Very cool!!

I've played along via emmatree, linking back to you. Moscow and the unlocked door and the handmade gift caught my eye!

I am stealing this list!
