I Love Memes

My lovely wife tagged me with a meme:


5 things found in your bag:

1. A couple books (currently, this and this - the former about a tenth read, the latter about nine-tenths)

2. My thermos for tomorrow's coffee

3. My iPod, going back and forth to the office

4. A sketchpad

5. Breath mints


5 Favorite Things in Your Room

This is a tough one because "my room" is perhaps the least manly room, ever. Seriously. Apart from the two sets of pillows, you'd never look at the room and think a guy slept in it. And but so...

1. The stack of children's books under my bedstand - a sign that the girls hang out here every day, reading books on the bed

2. Stray toys - ditto

3. Some beaten-up magazines under Shannon's bedstand - ditto, but the girls love to look at the magazines even though, at this point, Julia's memorized every ad and photo

4. My "Shake Awake" alarm clock


5 Things You Have Always Wanted to Do

1. See my girls grow up to be happy women.

2. Ski the Vasaloppet in Sweden.

3. Bike the 21 switchbacks up l'Alpe d'Huez, the most famous climb in the Tour de France (le dopage optional).

4. Make an extended trip to Finland.

5. Write a science fiction novel.


5 Things You Are Currently Into

1. Genevieve

2. Julia

3. cross-country skiing

4. blogging and Web 2.0 foofaraw

5. work


She stole all my likely taggees, so I'm going to have to be the end of this particular chain. Sorry.

Forecast: Significant blowing and drifting, with the possibility of heavy accumulation in rural areas.
