Self Portrait and Six Things
So I need to tell you six more
little known things about me.
2. I got to attend a film makers' breakfast
hosted by Robert Redford a few years ago.
(and his Levi's were 30/30s if I remember right
and yes, ladies,
he had a great tush).
3. I have an addiction to books
and should never be let loose at
Amazon.com or Powell's Books in Portland.
4. I made my living writing for six years,
though at the time I considered it "practicing law."
I did legal analysis and wrote decisions and orders
for the Department of Energy's Office of Hearings and Appeals
in Washington, D.C.
(No clients, except pro bono ones, and
possibly the world's most boring set of legal regs.)
5. Right now I have two malfunctioning HP printers.
6. I was really bummed when Dreyer's
discontinued Ultimate Caramel Cup ice cream.
7. I sometimes dream of things before they happen.

kt - it's disconcerting to have dreams before something happens. The last really big event I dreamed in advance was that nightclub fire in Rhode Island. I could see signs that said Warwick, Rhode Island (it was West Warwick, but close enough) and I don't think I've ever seen location signs in my dream. The dream was about four nights before the event and when I turned on the news the morning after, I couldn't figure out why they were talking about something that had happened four nights before. Then I realized what had happened. You just never know whether they're "preview" dreams or overactive dream life until the event unfolds.
Jennifer - when I had someone to cook for, I was fairly serious about it. My ex had pretty high standards for his diet and demanded great variety when he was home, since he traveled and ate in restaurants a lot. Now that it's usually just me, I rarely cook unless someone else is in the house. And as for Robert, I actually spoke to him and can tell you that he appears to really focus on each person he talks with. I really admire his efforts on the environment and filmmaking.
