YMF child who is not your child.
I used to be one of them.
My cousin’s grandson, Max
YMF grandparent?
My mother’s mother. But my father’s father is a close second. And my aunt-by-marriage’s parents were auxiliary grandparents to me, and I was very close to her mother.
YMF place to be alone.
On the porch of a ramshackle beach house in Nags Head, N.C., a good book in my hands and a very cold drink on the wooden plank floor beside me, as the pelicans skim low over the waves just offshore.
YMF beach reading?
Gothic Horror novels or short stories, they bring shadows and a quiet foreboding moodiness to the bright, intense cacophony of a summer day at the beach.

I’ll tell you mine, it’s adorable! hummingbird moth
Praying mantises. They’re awesome.
YMF carnivore.

Horse.
Most favorite salty snack?
Peanut butter filled pretzels.
YMF thing that begins with the letter Q
Quetzales. Beautiful long-tailed birds, but also money in Guatemala, which is handy, too
Fav thing that ends with P
Bibimbap. Charlie Kang’s in East Lansing made an excellent dish.
YMF historic period to read about?
Byzantium in late antiquity.
YMF genre of literature?
That’s tough.
If I’m in the mood for something affecting and challenging, women’s autobiography; immersing, but a little lighter, popular science, like Stephen Jay Gould; really light, and a little cozy, like, I’m sick in bed, paperback mysteries.
YMF mystery writer.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. More recently, Robert B. Parker (the Spenser series).
YMF weekend plans.
NOTHING!
YMF excuse to do nothing.
A workaholic will do it.
Favorite un-named lead singer in a rock group
I think I understand what you mean. The answer is probably “John Fogerty,” (albeit, Debbie Harry is a very close second, but I’m giving the edge to JF for being a singer/songwriter) because CCR isn’t called “The John Fogerty Band,” but maybe it’s not what you mean-- maybe you are referring to someone obscure, or only well-known in specialized circles, in which case the answer is Gretchen Phillips of 2 Nice Girls (which was a 4 member band).
YMF band that has/had members of both genders.
Fleetwood Mac.
YMF scientist
