Trivia answers

1. d. all of the above

2. d. all of the above

3. c.  2, 4, 8, 6, 2 again, 3 and now 5...this is the order of my teaching as well!

4. c.  Mayfield's Dairy Farms

5. b.  a rabbit named Inky...he's now six years old! 

6. d.  Practice makes perfect...I actually do say, "Practice makes performance".  This is because perfection, while a nice cliche, is not an attainable goal.  One's performance is directly related to the practice involved prior to the performance, I have found.

1. d...I toured Austria and Germany in college with the Middle Tennessee State University Chamber Choir in 1989, back when I had hair!  When I was thirteen, I began working for my Jr. High shop teacher, Mr. Clariday, making wooden toys.  He was a big help to me in getting over my parents' divorce.  In 2002, I was playing semi-professionally with a rock band known as Kenny Howes and the Yeah!.  We had a gig over the winter holiday break at Phillips Arena, and our music was piped over the P.A. during an Atlanta Thrashers game.  We didn't play in the main room, but instead were on one of the tier levels being broadcast into "the rink."

2. d....I met Louis Sachar and Robert Newton Peck at a Young Writer's Weekend in McMinn County, Tennessee, 1998.  I met Kurt Vonnegut a few years later at the University of Tennessee where he was giving a speech.  I really like Ms. Paterson's work, but have never had the fortune of meeting her.
