1. Which of the following do you trust more: a politician, a televangelist, a lawyer, a reporter, or a doctor?
by process of elimination, a reporter; I have no use for the other 4, but might trust a lawyer marginally more than a politician, televangelist or doctor.
2. What's the last song you liked enough that you actually took the time to look up the lyrics?
"Two of Us," Beatles
3. Which deceased relative would you most like to spend one more afternoon with?
Oh no, I'm not going there.
4. What is your preferred brand for:
a) toothpaste: Mentadent with peroxide
b) soap: Oil of Olay
c) shampoo: whatever's on sale
d) laundry detergent: Tide with bleach alternative
5. What is your favorite poem?
Probably e.e. cummings' "somewhere i have never traveled"
somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyond
any experience,your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which I cannot touch because they are too near
your slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully,mysteriously) her first rose
or if your wish be to close me,i and
my life will shut very beautifully,suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;
nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility: whose texture
compels me with colour of its countries, rendering
death and forever with each breathing
(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens;only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes isdeeper than all roses)
nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands
6. READER'S CHOICE QUESTION#25 from Tara: How did your parents select your first name? Were you named after aparticular friend/relative/fictional character or did they just likethe name?
I was almost Bonnie, which I would have preferred when I was very young, but decided I actually liked my given name when I imagined that I was named after the silent Film Actress, Heather Angel. Actually, it was just a very Scottish name. 'Fraid I don't use it much.

The Beatles brought joy in our youth and remind us of that feeling when we play their songs.

Mumsy, my Sis, who was also a poet and teacher [ and newspaper woman ] had the same choice in poets. Sitting near me is collected works, which she gave me 12 years ago.
