Maureen's Kind of Town
Chicago shoreline
As a way of helping you get to know me, I have adopted a clever questionnaire from Bernard Pivot:


What is your favorite word? Polysemic

What is your least favorite word? Nice--How bland and non-descript could you be?!

What turns you on? Genuine understanding

What turns you off? Ignorance, intolerance and injustice

What sound or noise do you love? Church bells

What sound or noise do you hate? Newborn baby cries

What is your favorite curse word? F**K!

What profession other than yours would you most like to attempt? Seeing as I am currently a student, one that pays!

What profession other than yours would you not like to participate in? Taxidermist--truly creeps me out!

If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? I know you tried--come on in; they're waiting for you.
