I love memes. They’re the lazy blogger’s salvation, because they give you the opportunity to post without actually having to think much. Which is exactly what my heat-numbed brain needs.

My A-Z. Meme courtesy of Lauree on MySpace.

Mandolin, not very well but better than guitar, which I play badly, and piano, which I used to play well but don’t get much chance to play anymore.

[O is for overnight hospital stays]
None so far, I’m happy to say.
