The rules:
1. Post the rules of the game at the beginning.
2. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
3. At the end of the post, the player then tags five people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read the player’s blog.
4. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.
I was tagged by Wendy from Zoom Times.
What were you doing five years ago?
Five years ago I was finishing up my work at two different jobs (public policy research and teaching high school government) in preparation for getting married and moving across the country. DOB was across the country, trying to start a financial planning business. We didn't get to talk very much. It's nice to have him handier now--at least we can collapse in exhaustion together, even though we still don't get to talk very much.
What are five things on your to-do list for today?

5. Nap.
What are five snacks you enjoy?
1. Popcorn, air popped with butter and salt

What are five things you would do if you were a billionaire?

4. Buy a second home on the Puget Sound and spend the summer out there every year.
5. Write books with DOB.
What are five of your bad habits?
1. Procrastination

3. Reading or surfing the internet while I eat.
4. Ignoring everything around me.
5. Nit-picking the grammar and logic of perfectly nice and sincere people. (Not to their faces, of course.)

Time to return to item number 5 on my to-do list, so I'll skip the tagging for now. Feel free to take it!

The two more recent moves of your life broke the thing with "Os" and Ws" you had going there. But at least you still are doing OK on living in places with Os. Does Northwestern Mutual have a branch in Ontario or Onalaska?

I have given the official Ducal endorsement to the Quintillion project. See blog for further details.
The secret to having a bookmark handy is to have about a hundred of them, scattered around the house.
That's just the formal bookmarks; any scrap of paper or other flat material will do in a pinch.
