Friday Five time.

What was...

1. ...your first grade teacher's name?

I can't remember my daughter's first-grade teacher's name. You expect me to remember mine?

2. ...your favorite Saturday morning cartoon?

Easily the Warner Bros. cartoons -- Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Road Runner, etc.

3. ...the name of your very first best friend?

I'd probably say Christian, this kid who lived down the street from me when Mom and I lived in Seattle. We did the whole sleepover thing and stuff.

4. ...your favorite breakfast cereal?

I'd run the gamut from Count Chocula to Alpen, which was this variation on museli, depending on my mood. Nowadays I'm lactose intolerant so I avoid cereal unless I'm looking for digestive problems later in the day.

5. ...your favorite thing to do after school?

Depended on the weather. During the winter months I'd just as soon play in my room or over the houses of my friends, but once it was warm we'd ride bikes or play at the local parks and so on.
