This week's questions on thefridayfive are all about the good ol' days and the things we don't do so much anymore.

1. When was the last time you wrote a check at a store? I can't remember. I basically write about 15 checks a year. Most of them to my gardner. I keep hoping he'll start taking PayPal.

2. When was the last time you looked up something in a book? A few weeks ago, I was writing a historical A/U and checked out something in The Timetables of History. Books are still my friends, although I don't have so many of them anymore. Like real life friends, come to think of it.

3. When was the last time you used a dial phone? I can't remember. My household went to touchtone in the early 1980s, and I may have taken a rotary phone with me when I had my first apartment, but that's a long, long time ago.

4. When was the last time you played cards with actual paper cards? A few months ago, with a friend - we played gin. I actually enjoy playing real cards with real people. I love the who act of shuffling and dealing. Back in the Dark Ages, when I was in college, I carried a deck of cards with me and played gin with friends between classes.

5. When was the last time you talked to a stranger? This morning. The repairman who came to fix the stalled burner on my range.
