The Friday Fives

1. In an era of technology, what old-fashioned way of doing things do you refuse to give up?

Don’t know if it is a refuse to give up issue as much as a return to old-fashioned return but I am tough on watches and have ruined/broken/worn out about three smart watches (Motorola and two Fossils.) Recently I have returned to my analog Casio wristwatch – this thing is basically indestructible.

2. What is a good documentary that is not about serial killers?

I recently watched Grey Gardens (I think it is on Amazon) It is about a mother daughter eccentrics living in a run down mansion in the 70s – they are Bouvier’s and relatives of Jacki O. It is fascinating – you just stare and gape as the camera rolls.

3. What’s a song that makes your ears bleed?

I recently got into a bit of a social media kerfuffle when I declared my distaste for “The Doors.” I need not hear any more Doors music. I heard it all up to my ear holes between years living in dorms in college and the army and doing morning radio in college. I will leave the Doors for others to enjoy.

4. What is something that is always worth having in your medicine cabinet?

Nitroglycerine pills. I don’t need them much any more but when the angina hits you will want that shit close by.

5. What do you put in your salads, and what dressing do you use?

Bag of lettuce, cherry tomatoes and either Bleu Cheese or Caesar dressing.
