I keep forgetting to title these 365 day Prompt entries... Late April

I don't know why Bernadette Devlin McAliskey (my profile pic); I just love her.

--------

18. Are you close with any of your cousins?

I care about my cousins and if we lived closer, I'd probably spend time with my cousin Sara, and maybe with Pete, too. He has married interestingly (and belatedly) and I think Marilyn is cool (she's related to Chicago Black royalty, which is to say former Panther Bobby Rush) and her sons also seem cool. It's a trip to think of my cousin Pete as a stepfather.

19. What is your favorite flower?

I love a lot of flowers, and naming one would be hard. However -- three favorites are carnations, lilacs, and freesia.

20. Is there a particular age you'd stay forever if you could?

No

21. Do you ever get called a shorter version of your name?

No

22. What's the last thing someone bought you?

My brother-in-law picked up a prescription for me and didn't ask me for the copay? But maybe there wasn't a copay? I dunno. Before that... Christmas presents, I guess.

23. Have you ever been tubing down a river?

Yes. And I nearly drowned. Age 10, in the Colorado River with my family and some friends of my dad's. His friend Eric pulled me out. That guy was like a towering Viking. I also tubed as a Girl Scout at Girl Scout camp in Wisconsin, which was super fun, except that I got a sunburn that I could still feel THROUGH MY JEANS three days later.

Pro-lilac. I don't know why people have a problem with them. The guy who did my backyard complained about all the lilacs.

I am such a fan of your mom, despite never having met her.
