I don't do memes

But Delphi tagged me with one that I can do without any thought...so here goes...

No cheating by running upstairs to unearth your pink-highlighted college copy of The Critique of Pure Reason or the Prolegomena.

She said, every woman needs a little "from the hear" storytelling once in a while. I think it helps me relax and escape.
