Little known facts about Nance November 17, 2005

Posted by spacemom in : Nance , trackback

As my files are converting to JPEG format for tomorrow’s presentation, here’s a few little know facts about me.

  1. I really do have a master’s degree in astronomy. I almost did a Ph.D. I was accepted at Ohio State and I turned them down to stay with Dr. Jay. We knew that our relationship would not last the distance, so I chose him over astronomy.
  2. I am the tallest person in my immediate family. I am 5′3". Dad and I are the same height.(by contrast, Dr. Jay is 6′1")
  3. I love country music. Something in the pure soul of it gets to me. But really, honky-tonk does it for me. Fortunately for Dr. Jay, I don’t listen to it in the house.
  4. I love to paint, but I haven’t had much time since the girls were born. I am working on a painting for my brother in law.
  5. Mystery novels and murders are my favorites. I know many ways to murder, and have good ideas of how to get away with it… Of course, I would never try it, but it is interesting when I run across a real case in the news

Thanks for “just-the-facts”, Ma’am. However, why would you have to say “really do have a Masters”? Seems to me, it’s a given?

But…the honky-tonk. Now, that, you have to convince me of.

What happens when you play a country song backwards? You get your dog back, your girlfriend back, and your job back.

Johnny- People at work think I have a BS only. I sometimes have to defend my MS.
And can you say “Brooks and Dunn”? Man, I need more honky-tonk and less Laurie Berkner!

Wow, you have some seriously interesting facts! What kind of a painting are you working on? Can you post pictures or is it secret until your brother sees it?

I remember seeing one of your self-portraits. You are very talented! I’d love to see what you’re working on now. I used to oil paint, but had to give it up due to lack of space in the appartment (and the therebentine (spelling?) really stank up the place!). Maybe in the new house…
