Curious as a Cat

(Link in blogroll)

1) If you spoke English with an accent other than the one you currently have, how would you chose to sound?
I'd love to have a faint Italian or Russian accent. Don't ask me why....
2) Be honest: how do you feel about people who smoke?
I don't understand how you can start smoking nowadays, knowing all the health problems smoking causes. It confuses me. I give older people a bit of a pass since I do understand how difficult it is to stop. Generally, I just wish people wouldn't do it since it makes it hard for me (and ultimately them) to breathe. I guess I mostly feel sorry for smokers, except for those who leave their butts all over the place. Yuck!
3) Whose death touched your own sense of mortality the most?
My sister's. She was way too young and vital to die when she did. And I was old enough to 'get it.'
4) What has been the most difficult promise you have ever kept? Why?
"To love, honor, and cherish...as long as we both shall live." There are days when those are the last things I want to do.
5) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one.

This was taken last summer in our front yard. The tree is a newly-planted pear tree, and those critters are cicadas. We were inundated; they are truly hideous-looking creatures that somehow also manage to be fascinating. Their wings are amazingly complex.
I like this photo, beyond the obvious weirdness factor, because of how green everything looks. It gives me hope that spring (and summer) will come again. Eventually.


Speaking of green: Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!!
