A: Anthea likes Shut Your Eyes by Snow Patrol/Lawson rocks out to the White
Stripes
Q: What is your favorite Classic TV Show?
A: Bewitched. That Samantha knew a thing or two/MacGyver (does that count as

A: The Simpsons/They still have TV? (answered by an internet guy, obviously!)
Q: Tell us about your favorite pair of shoes?
A: Anthea has a new pair of Frye harness boots she is loving/Leather loafers,
two nearly identical pairs that almost never get mixed up…
Q: What is the worst job you ever had?
A: Cleaning hotel rooms/Rakish Duke. Wait, that was the best job! Or maybe
it was taking insulation out of walls. Achoo!
Q: What is the best job you ever had?
A: Writing, playing in a band/See above.
I write because….The work of creating a book is intensely satisfying, and
the stories won’t let go/The work of creating a book is intensely frustrating,
but the stories won’t let go.

Anthea~
That’s one job I never did, cleaning hotel rooms. I have guesses, but what did you hate about it?
Major congrats on your Rita(R) final. You and Kimberly rock!
