Yah! It’s time to ask Eric five questions. But since it is Joanne’s (Eric’s mom) birthday, I gave her the honor of asking the questions. We took her and Bruce (Eric’s step-dad) to an Indian restaurant in Concord, NH and I brought my Power Puff Girls notebook and pencil to write everything down.
Mom: What is your favorite basket to make?
Eric: How can I favor one basket over the other? I do have a few baskets that I dislike weaving. Or rather, I do not look forward to weaving. But I’ll leave that for another week. So, I would say that the first basket of a new design is my favorite to weave since I cannot wait to see it finished.
Mom: What is your favorite ethnic food to eat?
Eric: Since Lynne’s favorite is Thai food, I will have to say that. But Indian food comes in a close second.
Mom: What was your favorite place to visit?
Eric: While teaching classes?
Mom: Yes.
Eric: Well, there are so many places I look forward to going. I don’t think I can narrow it.
Mom: What’s your favorite city you’ve been to?
Eric: Again, there are numerous cities I really like. But if I had to pick one, I would say Chicago, because we get to visit Lynne’s sister and spend time with the nephews and then we take the “el” into the city and have a great time. Me drinking the local beers and Lynne enjoying the martinis.
(editor’s note: of course the nephews are in bed! They’re not out bar hopping with us!)
Mom: What is the best vacation destination you like the best?
Eric: I don’t really have a regular location. We like to mix it up. But what I enjoy the most is camping with Lynne. It’s so peaceful and we get to “unplug” from everything and just enjoy our time being outside and doing whatever we want like hiking, checking out other people’s sites, stoking the fire or napping!
Thanks Joanne! Great questions!
Hey Anonymous, is that the way you should be talking to your brother-in-law and co-Champion of the 2012 Lime Grove Invitational Shuffleboard Tournament. I don’t make up the questions. Just for that Tripp, I mean Anonymous – I’m going to ask Lynne one more time if she will write a post about my Championship victory to rub it in. “Yuuuup!”
"Eric, what is your favorite color?" "Oh, I don't know, I have alot of favorite colors it's so hard to choose"
"Eric, what's your favorite day of the week?" "Wow, another tough question… I'd have to say anyone that ends in day."
Way to go out on a limb and answer some questions from your Mom… not!
P.S. Happy Birthday Joanne 🙂
