    What are your best and worst features?

    We all have features that we like and those we are not so fond of.How would you describe yours? I think that my nose is probably one of my best features.  It is small but not too tiny, suits my face.  I do have trouble keeping up a pair of glasses depending on the frame and do better with metal frames that have the little pads to help them stay put.  My worst feature and one that I have struggled with all my life, is the texture of my hair.   Coarse and frizzy, not conducive to a blow dry and go.  For years, I used to tame it with a…

    Who do you most resemble in your family?

    They say when couples live together, they start to resemble each other.  But today’s question has to do with the family genes – who in yours do you most resemble? Without a doubt – I resemble my dad.  In 2010, I shaved my head to raise money for children’s cancer research with an organization called St. Baldricks.  The shaving took place in a room in front of a group of family and friends.  What was not present was a mirror.  After we were done, I made my way to the bathroom and when I first saw myself it was as if my Dad was looking back at me.  Uncanny but…
