Hugo Fun Fact No. 1999 – I was a staff writer at CSLA
Scariest Things
Hugo Fun Fact 666: Clowns that don’t smile. Toilets that don’t flush at Open Houses. My children hovering over me when I awake from a nap. Uncorking a radiator cap from an overheating car. A rattle coming from an unknown source on a hike. Looking over the side of a tall bridge. A malfunctioning ATM card at the Grocery Store. Loosing line of sight of my youngest at the mall during the Holiday season. Not knowing where my phone is the morning after I’ve had too much wine. A near empty gas can on a long stretch of highway in Central CA late at night. Finding an odd bump on my person. Closed door meetings in the office. Earthquake weather. Clowns that smile.

When Snail Mail Counts
My parents were Catholic, Conservative and proper so we didn’t really talk about it. I had a lot of questions but it was better to stay clear. Was super interested in High School but outside of a few opportunities here and there I didn’t partake too much. College was different and I experimented. Maybe too much. My late 20s and 30s cemented a lot for me but there’s always wiggle room and who knows what changes my 40s and beyond will bring. Politics are my sport though and even at their grimiest I still seek the rush of Elections, debate and how Democracy evolves
Conchas
The closest thing my sisters and I had to Poptarts were Conchas. We had to beg my mom to buy them just like my kids ask us. Both a terrific treat in the morning but the likeliness that you’d get sugar-dust all over your sweater was certainly higher with the latter.
