Or alternately you may have to use a boolean "fIsInitialized" flag
and your own "initialize" method as lazy initialization doesn't work out so
well for primitives, especially Booleans. Is fLoggedIn false becase we
haven't initialized yet, or false because we aren't logged in :)?

PS There's always static initializer blocks for statics, or you an
initialize right on the declaration in a lots of cases e.g.
private string fName = DEFAULT_VALUE;
