This is how it works: Comment on this entry and I will give you a letter. Write ten words beginning with that letter in your journal, including an explanation what the word means to you and why, and then pass out letters to those who want to play along.

empressvesica assigned me the letter R.

1. Ronald Reagan – A personal hero. I am still inspired by his optimism and his strength.

2. Reese Witherspoon – She is just too cute, and she has the potential to be a great actor.

3. Red Rock Canyon - One of my favorite parts of my honeymoon, Daniel and I rented a viper and drove through it.

4. Ripley's Believe It or Not - I still remember watching this when I was young, it came on Wednesday nights before Dynasty.

5. Remington Steele - Young, mysterious Pierce Brosnan. Hot! Need I say more?

6. Raccoons - I love them, think they are simply adorable even if they do get into al sorts of trash and stuff. Growing up we raised two of them, a female named Bingo and a couple of years later a male named Rascal.

7. Richmond - Where I live now. For the most part, I like it here.

8. Ripped jeans - There's a fad I never got... why ruin a perfectly good pair of jeans?

9. Rome - November of 2004. I loved it! St. Peter's Square was enormous. I will never forget that trip.

10. Rick - My dad's name, although my grandmother still calls him Ricky.
