Just MeMe … And YouYou … Part 2 5:37 AM (1 minute ago)

from nobody asked... by Winston

That is how it appeared in my RSS reader this morning... so here goes.

10 Years ago I . . .

. . . bought a big old fat book entitled Slackware Linux and my computing life changed forever. Yesterday was spent loading Slackware v12 on this laptop that I am typing on now.

5 Things on today's To-Do list . . .

1. Finish mowing the lawn - rained out yesterday
2. Telephone a friend (Note to self: must find a friend.)
3. Finish this d*mned post.
4. haiku
   
5. Rehearsal - Cell (Mystery Writers Festival, Owensboro, KY)
   

What I would do as a billionaire . . .

After taking care of the usual things (bills, college x 3, bills, more bills, etc.) I would set up a trust to manage the rest of the money and I would HIDE. I would be the next guy in line at the grocery store buying milk and a loaf of bread. I would ride shotgun in a dependable beater with an equally nondescript person who would be my driver (My only real luxury - I really hate to drive.) The simply appointed (spartan) one-story ranch house would be set just far enough apart so the neighbors wouldn't need good fences. (Ironically, I would be able to hire someone to deal with all the worldly crap possessions I have now and can't get rid of.)

3 Bad habits . . . In addition to a multitude of your run-of-the-mill dietary, toxins, stresses, parenting bad habits...

1. I don't hesitate to lay on the horn when I think someone is driving stupid!
2. I have a bias against really obese people.
3. I never lie. Or, I always tell the truth. (Your choice.)
   

5 Places I have lived . . .

1. Kodiak Island, Alaska
2. East Lansing, Michigan
   
3. Guadalajara, Mexico
4. Kalamazoo, Michigan
5. Philpot, Kentucky
   

5 Jobs I have had . . .

1. Backyard Electrician - Circus Kirk, Harrisburg PA
   
2. Evening Announcer - WKLA AM & FM, Ludington MI
3. Set Designer/Tech Director, Freelance
4. Emergency Medical Technician, Instructor/Coordinator
5. Permanent Substitute Teacher, Lansing MI
