The Sunday Five - Five Things It Would Be Fun To Know About You


  1. What is your favorite time of the day? Any special reason? 
  2. Joe or Kamela in 2024? 
  3. What was the last thing you photographed? 
  4. When do you think you will be able to get a COVID vaccine? 
  5. Reading anything interesting? 
My answers:

  1. What is your favorite time of the day? Any special reason?  I am a morning person, just after sunrise, if only it wasn't so early in the morning.  The dawn gives me a clean slate to start over fresh each day, I love the early morning light. 
  2. Joe or Kamela in 2024? Kamela, time for new voices. 
  3. What was the last thing you photographed? Trees with sunlight casting highlights and shadows. 
  4. When do you think you will be able to get a COVID vaccine? I think it is going to be summer for me.  
  5. Reading anything interesting? "The Problem of Alzheimer's" by Dr. Jason Karlawish. It is due to be released in February, I know the author and have an advance copy.  It is EXCELLENT, a history of the illness and the politics of Alzheimer's in Europe and the USA.  Very effective storytelling (yes I am writing a review of it.)
Please share your answers in the comments.

    1. Wine o'clock
    2. Kamela I expect, but I will reserve judgement until I see more of her in action
    3. A building. Not unusual for me.
    4. No idea. The vaccination roll out won't begin here until next month and should conclude in October. There isn't the urgency here.
    5. I've printed out a few pages explaining short selling on the share market in relation to what has and is happening to GameStop. I will continue to reread it until it sinks into my skull.

  8. 1. I still like morning when it's just the cat, dog and me. All cuddled on the sofa together.

    2. I'm a realist, as Joe is 78. I voted bottom of the ticket, because, actuarily, the chances of 8 more full years of Joe is slim.

    3. The dog. What else?

    4. I get dose #2 on Thursday.

    5. No. I'm looking for something good though.
