Your browser’s address bar, beginning right now, is finally displaying the little lock icon on this site. For this, a personal website, the security certificate was free through my web host, and registering it was a matter of clicking a couple of buttons. I haven’t done it because I’ve been running an outdated version of PHP and I’ve been too lazy to bring it current, even though this is also quite easy.

It made me think of one of my favorite Latin phrases, for some reason.

1. What would you like to whine about today?
2. How do you feel about wine?
3. How do you feel about grapes?
4. Perhaps it is true that in wine, there is truth, but where else is truth?
5. Do you have a favorite drinking glass or cup?

Thanks for participating, and have a red, juicy, astringent, intoxicating, sweet, bold, uncorked, safe weekend with body, legs, and a loooooong, looooooooong finish!

This week’s 5 is inspired by the party game Scattergories, in which players have to think of items, all beginning with the same letter, in several categories. For example, if the die is rolled and shows the letter L, players might have to name a fruit, a bird, a river, and a movie star, all beginning with L. Valid answers might be loquat, lovebird, Loire, and Lauren Bacall.

First, go to this nifty online random-letter generator. Set the “number of random letter sequences to generate” to 1. Set the “length of each random letter sequence” to 1. Leave the “letters to choose from” how it is and click the button. You’ll get a rather non-dramatic one letter. Use this letter to begin all your answers to the 5 questions below. If you’d like to avoid difficult letters, feel free to change the “letters to choose from” list. I’ll only judge you a little bit.  

🙃

Alternately, if you find this boring, you could set the “length of each random letter sequence” to 5, thereby giving you five letters, a different one for each question.

This is our fifteenth year doing this! If you find this particularly fun (I do!) and haven’t done this before, here are the questions for parts 11, 12, 13, and 14. Go crazy and do those too.

Please answer these questions with an answer whose initial is the letter you rolled!

1. What’s a great summer food?
2. What item not usually bequeathed in a will, would you like to pass along to someone when you die?
3. What’s an admirable quality in a book but not in a person?
4. What’s a good food to add to other foods?
5. What could make your day better right now?

Thanks for participating, and have a CBUQG* weekend!
