Elspeth asked to be interviewed. As I spent a lovely morning with the Wry Punster‘s blog, here you go….
1. So, are you a comedy, history or tragedy kind of girl? What’s your dream role, Shakespeare or otherwise? Do you puke before you go onstage? If not, do you have any weird pre-stage habits?
2. Sour, dill, kosher, bread & butter? Whole, spears, slices, gherkins? What’s your preference?
3. Were you hazed? Can you talk about it? What’s the secret handshake? Ever been part of a panty raid?
4. What’s the best class you’ve taken that you had to take that completely surprised you? For instance, I had to take an art history class to graduate. I waited until my last semester to take Modern Art (what I thought was my favorite) because it was only offered once a year and always filled up. As a senior I had priority. It just so happened that this class conflicted with a Philosophy of Religion seminar I wanted to take (my majors were religious studies and philosophy), so I had to take Renaissance Art instead. It was literally my favorite class in college. I dragged my husband all over Venice to find that one damn Tintoretto. So, what was your surprise?
5. What will you be doing in Cairo this summer?
And the bonus question:
Money’s no option, skill level’s no option – what’s your dream knitting project?
It was a lot of fun visiting with Elspeth. She’s a year younger than my baby sister and having fun in school. (Yesterday was my sister’s 23rd birthday – Happy Birthday Samara! – I left her a million messages, but it seems our nephew Max was the only one who actually got to talk to her – he sang her happy birthday as a wake up call. Then she turned the phone off!) I loved college, absolutely loved it and I miss my sister – so I got to visit both, just a little bit, through Elspeth! Thank you!
