Several days ago Andrea tagged me in a challenge to write 7 random or weird facts about myself.

I wear my sox inside out so the seam ridge doesn't bother my toes.

For years I have bought most of my clothes at thrift stores except for unmentionables and shoes.

For years I have not watched TV news. Too much blood, gore and mayhem which repeats itself in one form or another year after year with different names. I feel much better for not watching. I listen now and again to NPR (National Public Radio) so as not to be a total ignoramus.

I prefer to walk rather than drive. Best place to live for me is a little village where I can walk to the grocery, video store, post office and suchlike. After 10 years my last car had 30,000 miles on it.

My favorite author is Cora Sandel, a Norwegian writer who lived in Paris in the 1920's. The last two novels of her Alberta Trilogy are set in Paris. I have read them many times, have recorded myself reading part of one book and have marked out Alberta's "haunts" hoping someday to seek them out in person.

I nearly died when I was 5ish from a hemmorage after a tonsillectomy but other than to give birth to my son I have never been in a hospital since.

I am brainwashed by Svaroopa yoga. I truly believe, now, about keeping my spine open, as they say. Lots of things close the spine from physical stress to emotions. I can feel it when my spine starts to close. The marvelous, free solution? DO MORE YOGA.

I pass this challenge to list 7 random or weird things about yourself to anyone who wishes to do so.
