I haven't posted anything in a while, because I've had my lovely girlfriend around all week on her Spring Break to keep my attention occupied on more interesting things. More on that later, but for nore here's a quick Friday Five from smattering.org just to keep things from getting stale.

1. What is your favorite time of year? Usually Winter, until the dry air gets to me and I can't wait for the April showers. Summer and Fall can just hurry on up and get out of the way. Of course, keep in mind that the Winters are relatively mild here in Maryland, kind of like a Milwaukee Fall.

2. What is it about your favorite season that, well, makes it your favorite season? Winter clothes have lots of padding and pockets so I can walk around with all my accessories without looking like a freak or having to throw on a backpack to carry everything.

3. What is your least favorite time of year? Summer. This will be my first year ever in a bedroom with a window-mounted air-conditioner at 2600, so maybe it'll be different. I just hate the heat sometimes.

4. Do you do anything to celebrate or recognize the changing of seasons? If every change of the season celebration brings as much happiness and love into my life as the last Winter Solstice, absolutely! I can feel a lot better about celebrating the sacred geometry of planetary alignment than the arbitrary birthday of a deity.

5. What's your favorite thing to do outside? Photography hikes, naturally. Preferrably with a lovely partner.

I can't figure out from the smattering.org site whether this is supposed to be a ladies-only thing or not. The website seems to be decidedly female-blog oriented. Oh well, it's a free 'net and, dammit, I have opinions too.
