DELINQUENCY . . .

Here's last week's Five. Sorry for my tardiness -- I was busy enjoying the traffic on the Merritt Parkway:

1. What's one thing you've always wanted to do, but never have? Write a novel. A GOOD one.

2. When someone asks your opinion about a new haircut/outfit/etc., are you always honest? Yes . . . within reason.

3. Have you ever found out something about a friend and then wished you hadn't? What happened? Oh, all the time! But my brain is such that given a couple of weeks of inattention, it will forget most things. So nothing ever "happens," and that is why I'm such a good friend. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

4. If you could live in any fictional world (from a book/movie/game/etc.) which would it be and why? The world of "The Lord of the Rings," because that is where Legolas lives. Sigh. I'm a sucker for pointy ears and a pretty face.

5. What's one talent/skill you don't have but always wanted? The ability to do math and math-related things quickly and accurately . . . or at all. No, really. That, and to play baseball like a pro. But the math is probably more useful.
