the 3s

1. Three things that scare me: loud noises, war, where education is going as far as the national trends.

2. Three people who make me laugh: my colleague-AM, my students, and people who are stuck with 80s hair--not just mullets, but that stand-up-bang thing.

3. Three things I love: hugs, a sense of belonging, my family.

4. Three things I hate: angry, raised voices; blueberries, birds as pets.

5. Three things I don't understand: why gay people "scare" straight people, how phones work, how the current administration dodges truth.

6. Three things on my desk: various pens & markers, torn off sheets from my page-a-day calendar that I want to keep for some weird reason, iced coffee.

7. Three things I'm doing right now: itching, squinting, pondering.

8. Three things I want to do before I die: skydive, fall in love, be well.

9. Three things I can do: focus, navigate, travel.

10. Three things I can't do: fancy dance, play a musical instrument, knit/sew.

11. Three things you should listen to: your gut/heart, parents/older people, nature.

12. Three things you should never listen to: angry people with an axe to grind, too much media, kids gossiping.

13. Three things I'd like to learn: to snowshoe, stop obsessing about stupid stuff, and how to walk in high heeled shoes without wobbling.

14. Three favorite foods: french fries, mashed potatoes, and pizza.

15. Three beverages I drink regularly: Diet Coke, iced coffee, and water.

16. Three shows I watched as a kid: The Brady Bunch, The Partridge Family, The Monkees, and Fat Albert.
