* Number of times my name has appeared in the newspaper: Maybe twenty? Twenty-five? Marriage announcement, Offspring’s birth announcement, play reviews…
* Number of scars on my body: Big Scars – one on my right arm where I had a basal cell carcinoma cut off, one on my left knee where I cut my leg open to the bone, and my right thumb, which was cut off in a car accident when I was 12. Lots of small ones....

I love this! I've been sitting here reading a lot of it to Mr. MFBA.

I think I will read it again to make sure I didn't miss anything the first time.

Must "steal" this and put it on my blog.
