6. Name one fun thing you would bring to the island?

If I would have to choose something that was not dependent on electricity or any outside resource, I would have to say Scrabble--words--books--they all go together, eh?

7. Why are you interested in coming to the island?
DIK has always been a favorite blog since it was introduced to me by my daughter, Tracy. I have also liked the concept that we all have books, authors, characters that we would like to have with us no matter where we may be. I find that DIK just has a very interesting mix of attractions for interested bloggers/readers/internet literary junkies. It would be fun to be a part of it.
