The Sacred Robin

I was reading The World According to Me, Kathy B’s blog yesterday and she had already done this and it was so funny of course I had to do it too. Kathy B. says she got the idea from Inktopia for you to put your name into The Mechanical Contrivium that then pops out trivia about you. It makes no sense but is just hilarious. These are the 10 top trivial things (more information than you probably wanted to know) about me, robin.
