I'm in the March issue of Orange Coast Magazine, a "real" local glossy mag (as opposed to scores of ad-zines) showcasing Orange County (California) people, places, and stories.

They have a monthly feature, "What would you pack in your earthquake kit?" where somewhat-known OC folks choose items that are not overly practical. The idea is for the reader to see another side of the public persona.

I was chosen because I'm the only Poet Laureate in Orange County.

I was interviewed in January but was not sure which month this would appear, although I was told "probably March." Then I got a bunch of emails from friends and colleagues saying Congratulations, so I figured I'd better buy my copy while it was still on the newsstand!

The "other person" in this house couldn't understand why I'd want to pay $5 for a magazine when I've already been in a bunch of newspapers.

The frying pan wasn't even dented.

Congrats, Meredith! That's way cool that you were chosen. And hey, that would be a fun topic around here.... what would you want to have with you if you were stranded on an island?

Are you sure it was dented? Was his head?

Congrats. And I know what you mean about the rags with all the ads. We have lots of them around here.

Stranded island, hmmm; hubby, suntan lotion, books

Congrats Meredith. You are so funny. I guess you'd pack that frying pan for the stranded Island?

Ah Men! Their endless stupidity buggles the mind...

Maybe you should have used that frying pan the way Hannible Lector would have, frying up 'his' liver with some fava beans, slurp, slurp. LOL!!!!

Oops, almost forgot Meredith, CONGRATULATIONS!

Chatty, you know I don't eat meat!

I wanted to take my e-drive, but the editors didn't think that was interesting enough!

I just loved it, Meredith. It shows such insight by you, it's art in and of itself.

Go on with yourself, gurl.
