I LOVE Prairie Home Companion. That voice just soothes me.

LOSTL! only the locals call it walkabout!

we still call it hitchhiking, but i dont think Mum will let me do it.

And is it a bad idea for a teenage girl?

I suppose there are some strange people around!

Otay…..i was going to leave a snappy comment but i think everyone beat me to it.

But I think I got a suggestion on how to improve the next interview.

I did this a couple of times and gots lots of chuckles: As the interviewer, try berating yourself. Be confrontational. Be aggressive. Be obnoxious.

This is even worse than the album question. How do I choose one day to relive out of all the beautiful ones I have had, and all the mistakes I’ve made?

I choose a summer day in 1991, when I lived on Early Street with a boyfriend and our friend Roger lived upstairs from us. Another friend owned the house and we all rented from him.

Roger and I were the only ones home and it was a hot, hot, summer day, but it threatened rain. When it finally decided to let loose, it was a terrific, torrential thunderstorm. We were so hot, we ran outside and danced around in the rain like kids. We giggled and hugged and fell down and it was one of the most beautiful memories I have.

We had both had kind of difficult times growing up, and were both trying to find a way to heal and lead healthy lives. We struggled with the same questions. Am I lovable? Am I worthy? And for just a minute we forgot all about that stuff. We just knew.

If you had one day that you could relive (either to enjoy or redo) – which would it be and why?

Yes, I know that the “and” makes that two questions – my students love that.

NDM, this question was harder to answer than I thought it might be. There aren’t all that many “fifth business” type gals in Disney movies. In fact, I’m not sure my gal could be considered “marginalized” but I’d have to say, after doing some research, that I am Wendy Darling, much to my dismay.

I don’t want to grow up, but having tried not to and finding the people around me to be immature or incapable of caring for themselves, I’ve resigned myself to take care of them. Every now and then, however, I take to my childish ways again. And I do tend to live in a fantasy world. And also, I love to fly through the air.

But I’m not down with pirates.

No, sadly I have never been west of the Rockies. Though I might take a little trip out to Seattle next month. Maybe. I’m not sure yet.

And brown mustard. Crunchy, like with whole mustard seeds still visible. And with beer in it. Or beside it, either way.

Don’t you fellows call it a walkabout? I thought I heard that once. I used to hitchhike, until I realized what a dreadfully bad idea it was for a teenage girl.
