In preparation for the movement of Holy Week, Mother Laura from RevGals gives us... a Friday Five about time and transitions....

1. If you could travel to any historical time period, which would it be, and why?

I always wanted to be Laura Ingalls, and live on the prairie. It's a time when people lived a simple life. Not an easy one, but simpler. On the other hand, there is part of me drawn to the elaborate nature of the Tudor court around the time of Elizabeth I, and I'd visit that time if I was rich enough to wear a gorgeous dress and eat well in the castle. Contradictory? I guess.

2. What futuristic/science fiction development would you most like to see?

Teleporting. And holodecks. And the ability to teleport OUT of the holodeck if you start to get eaten by lions. (Flashback to "The Veldt"...anyone?)

3. Which do you enjoy more: remembering the past, or dreaming for the future?

I am most certainly a dreaming of the future person. But I sincerely hope to be able to appreciate the past, the older I get.

4. What do you find most memorable about this year's Lent?

I am enjoying reading "Bread and Wine".

5. How will you spend your time during this upcoming Holy Week? What part do you look forward to most?

I look forward to the Stations of the Cross on Friday at Mr. Incredible's church. I have no responsibility for it, and can simple move through it.
