Here are some interesting facts I found about ice-cream. They came from the book called "Dates with the Greats" by Susan Ohanian. May 13, 1777 was the first public advertisement of ice cream. Confectioner Philip Lenzi announces in the New York Gazette that his ice cream "may be had almost every day." During the summer of 1790 George Washington runs up an ice cream bill of about $200 - very roughly the equivalent of about $6000 in today's money. Thomas Jefferson also likes ice cream a lot. He creates his own 18-step recipe for making it. Dolley Madison is the first First Lady to serve ice cream at White House state dinners. That leads us to today's questions: What is your favorite kind of ice cream?

I have gone through flavor stages but consistently prefer chocolate flavors or ice creams with chocolate in them like: Neapolitan, fudge ripple, Oreo cookies & cream, Snickers, and my current favorite, chocolate peanut butter

What's the best amusement park ride you've ever been on?

When I was a kid, we went to an amusement park somewhere in Baltimore. Maybe it was near Gwyns Falls but I’m not sure. Anyway, there was a roller coaster called The Wild Mouse and I have never forgotten it. I was so darn scared I avoided roller coasters for years. Now, that might seem an odd ride to choose but I remember being thrilled as well as being scared. As an adult, the best ride was Spiderman at Universal Studios. It was a simulated roller coaster with images popping out at me. It was great fun and I felt safe, not scared.

Are you and artist? What is your medium of choice?

Are writers artists? If so, then I am and my media of choice would by my computer. I always find it easier to write on the computer than on paper. I think that’s because my fingers can keep up with my racing brain.

What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?

I love most types of music, from classical to classic rock. My favorite composers are Bach, Handel, Mozart and Beethoven. I enjoy listening to folk music when I’m feeling mellow. I especially enjoy listening to Peter, Paul & Mary or Arlo Guthrie. Sometimes nothing will do but some pagan Celtic music. As for classic rock, there are so many artists I enjoy it would take up too much room to list them all!

Do you belong to any clubs or organizations? On the web? In person?

I belong to a lot of online “clubs”. Actually, they are email lists but they are called “clubs”. I am on a variety of lists: cat lovers, Dark Shadows, journaling, other types of writing, Survivor and That 70s Show.
