[Breakfast: half of a croissant and half of an oatmeal/golden raisin muffin with a latte]

More than a few of you have tagged me for MeMeMe's. Yes, I was aware and have ignored them. I don't want to sound ungracious, because I am flattered that you care about finding out my answers. It's always nice to get some blog publicity as well. The thing is that I write first for myself, so my blog is composed of content that I want to read. I don't want to read my own answers to MeMeMe's. But I've decided to answer a couple of questions from your MeMeMe's, because I hate to have bad manners.
