\nRecently answered<\/a><\/p>\n

Seven Things I Cannot Do<\/strong>:
\n1. Do that really loud whistle with your fingers in your mouth. (hat tip Doyce)
\n2. Get and stay mad at someone I know between face to face encounters. Even if they deserve it.
\n3. Get over Imposter Syndrome<\/a> thang.
\n4. Dance, except as comic relief or slow dancing with Margie (which isn’t really dancing, just a very nice mobile hug).
\n5. Focus on a given project for more than a week or so without very rigid goals and schedules, externally imposed and\/or committed to.
\n6. Figure out electrical wiring. Just looking at the diagrams on the back of the packages from Home Depot makes my eyes cross.

Seven Books (or Series) I Love<\/strong>:
\n[see, these are the questions I hate here, because without an actual gander at my bookshelf, I just know I’m going to forget something] [and I’m going to dfine “love” here as “read repeatedly,” which is not necessarily the same thing] [and I’m going to do series, mostly.] <\/em>

\n2. The Honor Harrington <\/em>series, by David Weber

Seven Places I’d Rather Be<\/strong>:
\nRecently answered<\/a>, though “with Margie” is always a solid answer.<\/p>\n

Seven Favorite Comic Book Series<\/strong>:
\n[which is tough, because some particular writer\/artist runs of ongoing series would probably get listed here, but the way it’s couched, it comes out as either ongoing series <\/em>in toto or else miniseries …] [these are consistent “bottom of the stack” titles

\n1. Usagi Yojimbo<\/em> (Sakai)
