A LIST FOR ANNIE

Some time ago an old friend sent me an invitation to join her on Facebook. I wasn't crazy about the idea, but out of regard for her I went ahead and signed up. Shortly thereafter I was asked to share 25 things about myself. Apparently this is a common rite of passage on social pages.

Well, I have to say that I am not all that much into sharing to begin with and it just so happened that right about then Facebook was receiving a lot of bad press, so I put off filling out my little list.

Still, I felt bad about disappointing my friend, so somewhat belatedly I decided to go ahead and make my list. And to be honest, I have to say that it was kind of fun.

The 25 words and phrases below are listed in no particular order. Taken in their totality they pretty much cover the ground. Admittedly, some of these are a bit cryptic, but then again I never said it would be easy.

1. Ambergris.
2. Cold Fusion.
3. The Boston Red Sox.
4. Benton Street NW.
5. 05 Bravo.
6. The elevator in the Annex Building.
7. Ross McDonald.
8. Quan Loi, Vietnam.
9. Carlos Castenada.
10. Lamb Cake.
11. Moby Dick.
12. Nova Scotia.
13. Going My Way.
14. Fitzie and Albert.
15. The Grog and Tankard.

23. Coconut-filled jelly donuts.
24. Stop and Shop
