The Friday Five is on hiatus this week, so I’ll run you through last Saturday’s …<\/p>\n
Because he seems to be one of the few out there who has fun with his fame.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Because, damn, that looked like fun.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Because there’s some neat stuff there I want to see again, and some neat stuff I want to see for the first time. Wales rocks.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Because my life has never been better. Good family, good friends, good job, good fun. The reality is, no age is perfect. I’d like to visit <\/i>some ages past, but I wouldn’t want to stay there. (Well, I wouldn’t mind a 25-year-old body, but not necessarily my 25-year-old life.)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Because that would seriously rock. Teleportation, super-strength, and super-speed come in behind that.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Because I’m deeply curious as to what life is like from her perspective. I think it would be interesting. Plus, y’know, there’s that whole being-in-a-woman’s-body thang.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Because I tend to blank those sorts of things out shortly after uttering them. Mercifully, there aren’t a lot of hurtful words I’ve said that have come back to haunt me for very long. I try to avoid them.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Because, frankly, as much as folks criticize the polution, crowding, and social problems of our era, I’ll stack them up against life at any other time — and I’ll throw in modern medicine, modern technology, modern media (the good <\/i>stuff) in the bargain. We don’t necessarily live in ideal times (in fact, we certainly don’t). But I think I live better than 99-and-five-9s of the people who have ever <\/i>lived.\n<\/ol><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
