1. My husband is out of town so I am having my favorite dinner -- Cocoa Crispies (not to be confused with Cocoa Puffs, which I abhor).
2. I hate shoveling wet snow, but I do it because our snowblower has more controls than the space shuttle.
3. Edie is my first dog.
4. I almost named Edie "Dexter" after Dexter Gordon, the greatest tenor saxophonist who ever lived (IMHO).
5. I didn't do this (no. 4 above) because everyone would think she was a boy.
6. I play the tenor saxophone, but not as well as Dexter Gordon.
7. I lead an all-womens big band that is named after my dog: The Edith Jones Project. Check us out.

8. I am currently into the Yellowjackets. I listen to their "Mint Jam" CD constantly.
9. My boss is the most obnoxious man alive.
10. I am quitting my job as soon as this house sells and moving to Tucson, Arizona. Anyone looking for a lovely house with ocean views in Maine, please PM me.
11. I once found a perfectly good gouda cheese in the middle of the road while jogging.
12. I brought said gouda cheese home.
13. Since I did not like cheese at the time, my father ate it.
14. I like cheese now.
15. I am married to a very handsome man.
16. Fortunately, my husband is clueless when it comes to women, so he doesn't realize that women are always flirting with him.
17. My husband will listen to any music, as long as it is by the Stones or the Boss. Unfortunately, this means he doesn't come to many of my gigs.
18. I have had the same best friend since I was 7 years old.
19. I am now 47 years old.
20. I can't believe that no. 19 (above) is really true.
