The Friday Fives

1. When did you last get lost
I currently have a new job and I feel lost most everyday. It has been two weeks and I don’t seem to have my bearings yet.

2. Have you ever been flying
In a plane, yes. Have I flown a plane. No. I think we all know that would probably not turn out well. I don’t have that kind of prolonged concentration needed to fly a plane. I am trying, through MS Flight Simulator, to tackle take offs and landings. And even with a virtual plane, I owe Boeing about 7 million in crashed airplanes.

3. What do you always listen to
I can always listen to some banjo pickin’ blue grass

4. When does the day feel long
at 3:30 in the afternoon. The high energy tasks are done, the rest of the day is admin and paperwork and time comes to a standstill.

5. Tell me about your day
Yesterday? Glad you asked. Suspended a kid for working out a drug transaction via email at work. Wrote eight people for attendance and performance went to see a special theatrical version of This American Life at a movie theater then mossied down the road to meet Grace Slick at an Art Gallery. A bad day turned into a great day. Great work, Lono!

1, What does your body tell you when you get out of bed in the morning?
Time to Pee! That and a caffeine addicted alarm clock goes off as well.

2. How well do you treat your body? Do you feed and exercise it well? Go for regular check-ups? I treat my body terribly, at least of the excercise front. I do have regular doctor check ups, taking meds for high bp and cholesterol (My doctor calls it the American Diet cocktail.) I take a huge amount of vitamins and minerals and herbal stuff. I virtually never get a cold or headaches or any kind of sickness – so I must be doing something right. However a treadmill and few sit ups are in my future.

3. What part of your body feels strongest?
Upper thighs and calves. They are beefy muscular appendages.

4. Which is the weakest?
Forearms. I have wimpy forearms. Even in my push up frenzy army days, my forearms were pretty weak.

5. If you had to live without the use of one body part for the rest of your life, which would it be? Why?
My right arm. I am very left handed and only really use the right hand/arm to help carry in some groceries and move a move on the computer. I can relearn and transfer those skills easily enough.

Thanks, Love.

1. If you had the ability to legally change your name, would you? To what?
Probably not. I kind oflike my unique name. However if I changed it let’s go with Tex McCord. Side note: I collect the names of the addresses that Spam my email There are always some winners on that list, names worthy of a trip to court to change the name. One example from this week’s pile of mail: Rigoberto Hobson.

2. What do you with with change that you receive from banks/purchases/find on the ground? It sits in a bank on my bookshelf or in my ashtray of my car. It gets used occassionally. And about once or twice a year I drag it to the bank, have it counted and deposit it.

3. If you could travel back in time to change the course of one historical event, what event would it be?
I am gong to go with recent history and roll back time to prior 9/11 – and then use the change to ensure the towers don’t go down. The last seven years have been ugly and life would be very different without that event.

4. Would you rather live a safe, stable, moderately interesting life or one where every day was dangerous, volatile, and different?
i want dagerous change by day and quite stable by evening – that is why I am going to take a job at 7/11.

5. What do you think you’ll be remembered for when you die and, if you could, would you change it to something else?
I will be remembered for my wacky sense of humor and being a generally nice guy. I can life with that.
