Ok, going with Al Kwarizmi father of algebra and Eratosthenes, who measured of the circumference of the earth.

Based on the questionnaire (other than that question) I think I would make an excellent juror for this case and am unlikely to be selected. We shall see.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

How about Abigail Adams?

I am waiting for our new couch and loveseat to arrive. We went with a black leather set that was DEEPLY on sale--boring, but should stand up to our animals.

Oh, she's a very bad role model for me in so many ways, Matt!

Ada Lovelace is good, thanks! ETA Abigail Adams also good but I really only know her from 1776 and HBO

The pink gingham group?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It finally came to me, who I was trying to think of when I said anarchists! Sacco and Vanzetti!!

Not that you should put them down.

Do the historical people have to be dead? Because I want to go with Jimmy Carter. There are some queens of medieval Sudan who might go well.

Safari is on my wish list, so I'm looking forward to living vicariously through you, Suela!

Sacco and Vanzetti are the only anarchists I can think of off the top of my head, but I know there are others and probably some I do admire! But I went with mathy answers.

I will certainly think of the pink group as the pink gingham group! I think it's just that the instructions to call in on Thursday were printed on a pink sheet of paper. For whatever reason. SO I was dismissed for the day and hightailed it to work because I'm not actually sure how my time gets accounted for for that, and this is my afternoon at reception. No normality for me today, all new things!
