What's the most embarrassing thing ...

As I confessed in my Tuesday column, I'm a clumsy hooker.

But I'm also nosy, as I want to hear about YOUR most embarrassing ...

Is it really vandalism when it's a sticker with the words "nipple clamps"?

Aside from enjoying humorous ones spied on others' automobiles, I'm not a fan of bumper stickers.

I blame my father, ...

Where is the oddest place you've ever taken cover during bad weather?

During last week's bad weather, when a tornado siren sounded around midnight, I was caught at a midtown QuikTrip.

One of my favorite weekends of the year is an annual trip to Oklahoma City.

I go for two main reasons: Sushi Neko at 4318 N. Western Ave. and the Oklahoma City Museum of Art.

Much as I love the new exhibits that come through, I've never tired of looking at glass magician Dale Chihuly's work -- from the 55-foot Eleanor Blake Kirkpatrick Memorial Tower in the museum's atrium to the individual pieces in the permanent exhibit.

Now, I'm looking forward to a weekend excursion to Dallas -- again, for two reasons: Smoke at 901 Fort Worth Ave. (best bacon in the world!) and the Dallas Arboretum, which I wrote about in Sunday's Tulsa World.

In case you've wondered how Chihuly and his team create a piece, check out this video from the arboretum's web site:



If you decide to go to Smoke while you're in Big D checking out the arboretum, let me know what you think about the bacon -- and kindly consider an omelet with goat cheese and collard greens. It washes down quite nicely with strawberry-infused vodka. Just FYI.

Peace, love and magical glass ... XOXO
