I love this meme. It's pulling at me. I'll probably have to try it. It's so much fun to read people's responses!
Wow Dru! You've done a lot and visited so many awesome places! Thanks for sharing in the meme.
The whole "taking a cruise, but I'm afraid of water" thing still amazes me...
And, I really do need to get to NYC -- I'm really not THAT far away. **sigh**
Cool, Dru. This is what I'm doing for my blog tomorrow. I got it from Marianne, too.
I think I'll do this meme today, too, in addition to my regularly scheduled blog. :)
I love this one. :)
What was Nixon like?? ;)
