Welcome to the pond

Wednesday already? Wow! Here's a Mind Hump to get you through the week:

1. Have you ever received a gift that was so horrible you couldn't wait to return it?

If I have, I certainly can't remember it. I have received some odd gifts over the years, but haven't really returned any. I think the last one was a little toolkit that's similar to one I already had.

2. What's the last book you finished? Was it any good? How long did it take you to read it?

I read "East Of Eden" by John Steinbeck last, and I thought it was pretty good even if it was long. It actually took me a few months to finish it (at least August to mid-November!) because I kept stopping and not reading it for a while.

3. If you could go on a vacation right now, where would you choose to go?

Right now I'd love to go back to Maui. My usual answer would be either Maui, Norway or Ireland, but Norway and Ireland are pretty cold this time of year. I don't do cold.

4. Do you call it soda, or do you call it pop?

I'm a west coast boy, so I call it pop! Or soda pop. Mostly, I just call it delicious.
