26. In 1484 Aesops Fables were first printed in English by William Caxton. Do you recall any of the fables, such as The Tortoise and the Hare?
Yes. They were a common addition to our reading books in grade school. But contrary to popular opinion, despite my age, I do not have any personal memories of Aesop or William Caxton.
27. It’s World Theatre Day – when was the last time you went to the theatre?
I was going to say I'd never been, but then I remembered the days of dinner theaters. I believe I went twice, can't remember what either play was. It was long ago.
28. Have you ever been to a circus?
I answered this thoroughly in Shadowkat's reply section about a week ago. I'll just say here that by the time I was ten, I'd seen enough clowns, acrobats, animal trainers and high wire acts on TV. I never have felt the desire to go to a circus in person.
29. Have you ever made anything out of clay?
Yes, I made a little figure in first grade. It was supposed to look a little scary. It looked even scarier when part of it came off in the kiln. My mother kept, it so I still have it.
30. Are you allergic, or have an intolerance, to anything?
Yes. I have to watch out for foods with high sulfur content, especially sorghum, some highly processed cheeses, and eggs. Mostly I just need to have them in moderation or I'll get a sour stomach.
31. Do you regularly use your freezer? What do you store in there? Be honest – how often do you check what’s in there…?
Meat I buy in bulk, ice cream, ice, TV dinners... actually I look in there fairly regularly. (My mother was one of those people who bought things put them in her stand-alone freezer for another day, and forgot about them completely. Not good!)

1. Have you ever been fooled by an ‘April Fool’s Day’ joke?
Yes.
2. Do you prefer sweet things or savoury things to eat?
Right now it's sweet things. In a month or so it will be savory again.
3. Do other people shorten your given name? Do you shorten your own name?
Not really shorten it though they frequently use the standard nicknames. One of my college instructors I became friends with wanted to start calling me by my initials... I didn't like it and she quit.
