I may be absent for a few days, going to a wedding in NJ, and may not take my laptop, and am not really fluent in posting on either iPad or phone, although I have both charging now. I have fabulous clothes for the wedding, as does Bigdog. It is formal attire.

Ooh, these are a very good set, Mamie, especially the nursery rhyme one. If I were playing team trivia, I would write the answer I am going to give tonight on my paper and pass it to our team captain, and then every single member of the team would swivel their head at me wondering if I had lost my mind, and I would reply I am pretty sure that is the answer.
Guesses for new set:
81. my thane, whatever that is - one for my master, one for my thane, and one for the ?little boy? who lives down the lane.
82. 7
83. And this is also a good one - I am currently moving my head both up and down and side to side, and doing circles with my chin, so ruling out honey bees and dragonflies and grasshoppers - will go with praying mantis.
84. I think of it as the top of the trunk of a tree where all of the upper branches begin.
85. Venice, I think
86. Regina
87. absorption of water through the skin, no idea
88. Toto
89. Calliope
90. No idea, but will go with Mediterranean Sea
