3. Nascar has started for another year... albeit in a wet way... are you a fan?  

4. Other than your blog, do you actively participate in social media? 

Our Responses

1. February 24th is National Tortilla Chip Day - do you like them?  What do you pair with Tortilla Chips?

W - No bueno - I occasionally will eat tortilla chips but if I am going to indulge I'd rather eat potato chips or if I am going to eat Mexican food, I want enchiladas 

H - I like layered dips and salsa with my tortilla chips!

2. February 26th is Carnival Day (and also Judy from Retired Not Tired's birthday- coincidence???)  What is your favorite carnival ride, game or food?

W - I am not a big fan of carnivals but I like anything with a lot of speed.

H - I am a huge fan of candy apples and cotton candy!  I also like the merry go round and any ride includes water!

3. Nascar has started for another year... albeit in a wet way... are you a fan?  

H - I love to nap to Nascar... I do follow the sport a little, but there is just something soothing about the sounds that puts me to sleep!

W - I am glad that Heather can get her fix in... it's the only sport she seems to follow

4. Other than your blog, do you actively participate in social media?

W - I only do facebook regularly, but I do have a linked-in account.  I tried twitter for 5 minutes but I couldn't see the appeal.  I've never gone to pinterest, instagram or any of the others... 

H - Facebook is tops, but I do check in on twitter and linked-in.  I have pinterest and instagram accounts but I don't use them as much as I should.

And here is our 5th Question:

At C of C where Wayne teaches, they are currently embroiled in a bit of a controversy about a book that was chosen as a Freshman Read (All freshmen are given a copy of one book and they discuss it throughout the year) This past year, it was Fun Home

In this groundbreaking, bestselling graphic memoir, Alison Bechdel charts her fraught relationship with her late father. In her hands, personal history becomes a work of amazing subtlety and power, written with controlled force and enlivened with humor, rich literary allusion, and heartbreaking detail.
Distant and exacting, Bruce Bechdel was an English teacher and director of the town funeral home, which Alison and her family referred to as the "Fun Home." It was not until college that Alison, who had recently come out as a lesbian, discovered that her father was also gay. A few weeks after this revelation, he was dead, leaving a legacy of mystery for his daughter to resolve.

Now that the school year is more than half over, the South Carolina Legislature has decided (in hindsight) not to fund the project because of the subject matter... here is more info in a newspaper article from the Post and Courier - What do you think?
