Wednesday Hodgepodge

(Link in meme-roll)

1. I included this quote (attributed to William H. Danforth) in my blog post yesterday... "The best cure for a sluggish mind is to disturb it's [sic] routine." When was the last time you 'disturbed your routine' and how'd you do it?

My 'routine' is pretty much NOT a routine so I think it is already plenty disturbed. And yet, yet...my mind remains sluggish.

2. What's your favorite fried food indulgence?

Ice cream. Don't get it very often. More likely: funnel cakes.

3. Did you have an allowance as a kid? What did you do with it? Do you give your own kids an allowance?

I did not. I pled with my mom to pay me to do chores, but that only lasted a short time. Mostly, if I needed money, I had to ask.

4. What's something you wish you knew more about?

I wish I could read ancient Greek. And I wish I could magically understand RDA so I'd be ready for next March when I have to start using it.

5. Is there anything you feel too old to do anymore? If so, what?

I'm too old to pretend I'm a teenager--though I often forget--and I've decided to let go of the stupid, dangerous things like hang-gliding, flying small planes, parachuting.

6. What's a song you think has a great first line?

Most of them do. I'll go with this one: "Just you wait, 'Enry 'Iggins, just you wait!"

7. Who are you writing to/for when you create a blog post? In other words...as you write, who is the audience in your head?

Myself, primarily. Followed by those people I know IRL who read my blogs. And third, I always have creepers in mind.

8. Insert your own random thought here.

I'll be attending a(nother) funeral this weekend, for a member of our church who died while on vacation in a flukey bicycle accident involving riding off the trail while goofing around, falling off the bike and hitting his head on a rock. He was a good man. Sigh.
