It’s this week’s Friday Five<\/a> …<\/p>\n

1. Where are you right now? <\/b><\/p>\n

Sitting at my notebook computer, at my breakfast room table, getting ready for bed.<\/p>\n

2. What have you lost recently?<\/b> <\/p>\n

I lost some confidence the other day, but it seems to have wandered back. Hmmmm. I think it was the USB cable for Margie’s printer. Kitten wandered off with it, and it hasn’t been seen since.<\/p>\n

3. What was the first CD you ever purchased? <\/b><\/p>\n

The first one I am pretty certain I purchased was Frente, Labor of Love<\/i>. John Barry’s Moveola <\/i>and Eurythmics’ Greatest Hits <\/i>were right in that first batch, too.<\/p>\n

I first got a CD player as a boom box (which still have) whilst on an extended job assignment in Martinez, Calif. I desperately needed some music for the late-night programming stints I was doing. <\/p>\n

4. What is your favorite kind of writing pen?<\/b> Well, I don’t buy good pens, because I lose them. Yup. Can’t keep a given pen, if I’m using it, for love or money. <\/p>\n

What I prefer to write with these days are the cheap little UniBall roller-ball pens. Good flow, good construction, reasonably attractive, and an endless supply in the company supply cabinet.<\/p>\n

When given a choice, though, I prefer a good fountain pen. I love the feel as I draw it across the paper.<\/p>\n

5. What is your favorite ice cream flavor? <\/b> Haagen-Dazs Rum Raisin. Heavenly. Though Reeds Ginger Ice Cream is damn fine. And anything from the Boulder Ice Cream Co. is just tasty as all get-out (their coconut and cinnamon flavors are excellent).<\/p>\n

For ordinary run-of-the-mill, I like Pecan Praline, Mint Chip, Oreo, Cookie Dough, or a really strong Vanilla.<\/p>\n

I like ice cream.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
