Friday Five is on hiatus this week (they’re changing hosts — hopefully they don’t have their domain registered through Verisign). So here are my fresh answers to the original Friday Five, written all the way back last 21 September.
1. Where were you born (city or state or just country)?
I was born at the Stanford Medical Center in Palo Alto, Calif. That happens to be where my brother-in-law was born a year-and-a-half later. More remarkably, Margie and my brother were both born within a week of each other at another nearby hospital (though neither mother knew of the future connection, or of each other for that matter).
2. What is your favorite number?
Between 1 and 10? 4. Unlimited selection? 47.
3. Vanilla or chocolate?
A strong, beany, rich vanilla. Oh, yeah, baby.
4. What section of a bookstore would I find you in?
Look in the sf/fantasy section. Then in the mysteries.
Of course, 90% of my bookstore time these days is actually on Amazon.com …
5. What kind of mattress do you have on your bed? soft? firm? water?
Firm and king-sized, courtesy of Denver Mattress Co.
[Unofficial] 6. What are you doing this weekend?
Friday: Financial Frolics, Oriental Adventures.
Saturday: Sleeping Soundly, Ordination Attendance, Finanicial Frolics Part Dieux
Sunday: Off to church, off to brunch, then who knows what?
