Today, in honor of my dual personality’s birthday, I will share

“5 Things You May Not Know About My Dual Personality”*

1. She has a Ph.D from Yale University in Near Eastern Language and Literature. This is somewhat ironic, considering that most of her teachers growing up treated her as if she was a little slow. Typical.

2. She has been on archaeological digs in Jordan and Israel and Wales (and probably several places in between) and feels quite at home in a pith helmet.

3. She spent the day once with Gregory Peck’s son Stephen and she has met Viggo Mortensen. Who says the life of a college professor is dull?

4. She is an elder in her Presbyterian Church.

5. She took piano lessons as an adult and can now play the piano and read music!

Here’s hoping she receives presents today that delight her as much as this one! What was it I wonder?

P.S. That sweater vest with camel motif is really styling, man.

P.P.S. I spy with my little eye: a “bluenote” Blue’s hockey pin on her turtleneck. She was a diehard fan back in the day.
