Love the Zinfandel post - I'm a big lover of this wine and everyone scoffs at me like it's just not as good as Chardonney or Merlot - tough I love it and loved your post!

I'm not always good at it. The A to Z challenge has been pretty random for me too although I did try to theme it around things about me. Some of the letters were hard to come up with something about.

I do like to keep my fridge and cupboards relatively well stocked, though, but I do run out of milk at times. :) This A-Z challenge was pretty random for me.. one letter at a time and often I wouldn't know what the word would be until the day before, and sometimes even THE day of. But I managed to finish. Nice blog you have! I like to think that I am well prepared for anything, but to be honest, I’m not.

She was very scientifically driven but didn't pursue the arts as well. Look at the things da Vinci was known for: painter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist, and writer whose genius, perhaps more than that of any other figure, epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal. While Curie did study physics and chemistry, there's not the artistic depth to her that Da Vinci has.

I have tshirts collected for a tshirt quilt and may just have to bite the bullet and learn a new skill. I've always wanted to learn to make my own skirts--so I can use cool cat prints (ahem). Seriously Paula if you get any more creative you are going to have to make a clone to hold all those skills and talents! I wish I could use a sewing machine!

Women didn't have enough freedom during that time to become a daVinci. I know Hildegard von Bingen (earlier) was a polymath and composer, philosopher and a rebel (as much as she could be) Julian of Norwich (sorry my expertise is more middle ages) was a gifted philosopher. Maybe much later with Madame Curie? That is an excellent question. Women didn’t have enough freedom during that time to become a daVinci.
