So if you end up doing the '90s for next year's A to Z Challenge, I'd be quite curious to see your interpretation of those years.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00912167351889969855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148510738485459197.post-65814685808875536442012-11-15T18:14:34.155+00:002012-11-15T18:14:34.155+00:00Great interview!

I may not write anything big, but still when I die, my kids might be able to understand what my mind was like and if they listen to what I had to say they might contribute something good to the society.
