Allison, sounds like we’re the same age. So I get the “old” stuff, LOL. And I LOVED Donny and Marie. I even had the Barbie Dolls of them…with their purple socks, of course!

Elizabeth, the Wibter Solstice music is really worth listening to. I throw my vote in that you search it out – I think you’ll like it.

Elizabeth – no, I didn’t regift the candles, I just gave them to my family.

Kate, the horseback riding afternoon sounds great! Generally speaking I’d prefer an experience over a thing any day.

Eek, on the candles, Dru. Not fun. Did you regift them?

Nikki, nice to know I had a kindred spirit with Shaun Cassidy. LOL.

No comment on high school crushes, Chris? Hmmm. And as for Aerosmith and AC/DC…good stuff!!! So much of what I remember listening to as a kid was because of my siblings who were a few years older.

Joe, retweeting counts. For sure. I don’t think I’ve ever heard Winter Solstice… Now I’m curious.

1) Your favorite childhood book? War and Peace. Okay, actually, that was the theme of our summer vacations, when my siblings and I were home alone. Probably…Bears in the Night when I was a wee bairn. I love what the illustrator did with light. And then the Danny Dunn adventures as I got a little older. But I do love Lynn’s pick as well, and I LOVED the Three Investigators. If memory serves, Hitchcock wrote those.

2) The first poster you hung in your room? Either a map of Southeast Asia that I picked up for a dime at a Ben Franklin store, or an awesome shot of a solar car racing through the Australian Outback. The latter, my dad brought home from work. I still have both.

3) Do you remember the name of the first girl you had a crush on as a kid? And did it ever pan out? Tina. She had an awesome voice, that girl. Sort of scratchy, like she had a cold. She was trouble. Probably for the best that my family moved away.

4) The first record (or CD if you’re younger than me) you ever bought? Hm…either….Billy Joel, Huey Lewis or Asia for a cassette. Album: Winter Solstice by Windham Hill. Bought the CD years later. Awesome writing music, that.

5) Worst gift you ever got? Not sure. But I bet it was lemon-yellow.

6) Best gift you ever got? Either my old leather bomber jacket, my Jesse Barnes print of ‘Distant Lights,’ my Bible, or my Pentax K1000 35mm. All of which came from my wife.

7) Have you ever re-gifted? Depends. Does retweeting count?

Hi Elizabeth,

Sounds like fun:

1) Your favorite childhood book? – The Three Investigators Series. Three boys who’s ‘fort’ was in a junkyard!

2) The first poster you hung in your room? – Either something from Star Wars or Christy McNichol. I remember having both.

3) Do you remember the name of the first boy/girl you had a crush on as a kid? And did it ever pan out? – Not sure who was ‘first’ but many of my crushes as a kid moved before high school. In High school, let’s not go there.

4) The first record (or CD if you’re younger than me) you ever bought?
Pretty sure it was an AC/DC album. Might have been Aerosmith.

5) Worst gift you ever got?
Pretty much anything from my grandmother as a kid. It was always clothes or underwear.

6) Best gift you ever got?
Lazy Boy.

7) Have you ever re-gifted?
Yes. Especially types of alcohol that we don’t drink.
