Excerpt from 100 things about me

26. I try to do too many things, too often getting sidetracked from what I need to be doing.
27. My love of fried okra helps define who I am.
28. My mother's fried okra was the best ever, in my opinion.
29. The best fried okra in town, now that mother is gone, is the extra-crispy okra at Shuford's BBQ on Signal Mountain Road; this has become my favorite restaurant.
30. My second-favorite restaurant is The Acropolis near Hamilton Place; I love their Greek salads.
31. My third-favorite restaurant is Golden Corral on Hixson Pike at Hamill Road, where I can eat large portions of favorite foods or sample tiny tastes of lots of different things, without wasting food.
31. I don't like to waste food.
32. I don't like to waste anything, maybe because I know what it's like not to have money for everything I want or need.
33. I am a pack rat who is learning to get rid of things.
34. I want to be down to a modest handful of things by the time I die.





Did I mention that I love fried okra?

Yes, thrice, see #27, #28, and #29.



35. I love to learn.
