I’m still subscribing to a couple “Friday Five” style feeds. I’ll fill one out every so often, when the questions are at all interesting.

What's the last item you mailed?

On Wednesday I purchased two industrial strength foot corn files at a beauty store and immediately shipped them Priority Mail to Pittsburgh.
 

Who has made you smile recently?

I dunno about who, but two things made me smile yesterday.
 
First, I got two signoff forms back from clients for technical specs that I’ve written. One’s been in the works for a month, and the other for two months.
 
The other: last night one of my friends hosted a scotch whisky tasting. Admiring the dozen bottles of single malts on the table, I grinned broadly and exclaimed, “It’s just like Christmas!”
 

What's the weather like outside?

Crap. It’s been raining virtually constantly since Friday October 7th, the day that my new bike arrived at the shop.
 
New bike? If that’s news to you, you haven’t been reading ornoth_cycling, now, have you?
 
In fact, in the past 22 days we’ve had sun for exactly two half-days. Not two-and-a-half days; two half-days. I did manage to get in two good rides on the new bike, but that’s all I’ve swung in the past three weeks. Very frustrating!
 

Do you consider youself (sic) a good judge of character?

Doesn’t everyone consider themselves such? I would say I’m probably not an ideal judge of character. In some cases I judge too harshly, and in others I’m far too patient.
 

What's your favorite photograph?

I’m not sure I have a favorite photograph. There are a couple images of myself that I like, and then there’s favorite shots that I’ve taken. There’s several shots of former friends and romances that I treasure highly. Then there are just images that I think are aesthetically pleasing, whether they’re landscapes, art photography, erotica, or whatever. I enjoy photography immensely, and I have a very broad appreciation for the images I come across each day. And I’m looking forward to picking up a new DSLR soon, although the new laptop has to come first.
