Tuesday Twosome

Who are the two people…

1. That annoy you the most? Why?

There are several people about whom I'm very conflicted with emotions ranging from guilt through joy through extreme annoyance. If we're talking about straight-out annoyance, however, that would be Complainer Tech at work and Nancy Talk-a-Lot. But even naming those two makes me feel conflicted.

2. That inspire you the most? Why?

Venus N. and Mr. Jimmy. Venus is who I want to be when I'm 75: kind, caring, strong, busy, involved, irrepressible. Mr. Jimmy has been through the mill the last couple of years, and he's still plugging away in D'Iberville.

3. That you would love to trade places with? Why?

I don't want to buy anyone else's trouble. What is visible on the surface is rarely what is actually going on.

4. That you talk to the most? Why?

Beast and Sparky, because I live with them.

5. That you think are great role models? Why?

Jimmy Carter and Nelson Mandela. They both embody intelligence, hard work, forgiveness, forward-thinking, and kindness along with a spirit of hope in the face of hopelessness.
