Happy valentine’s day! I don’t like this holiday and never have. Did enjoy a lovely valentine breakfast at CES and have been getting all kinds of emails from people with adorable pictures of their children. That’s a valentine tradition I can embrace.
Now. As we all know everyone loves lists and most people love minutiae. I sure do. Vanity Fair has two recurring pieces I love – the back questionnaire (thought-provoking) and the “My Stuff” column (minutiae). I’d love to know all the following about all of you (whoever you are). Still feeling a little gloomy, I think it’s a case of the Februaries, but I’m going to distract myself with this questionnaire … how solipsistic to imagine anyone will care. But, I’d love to have these answers for anyone who wants to send them to me!
