Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love to answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions!
Fool (If You Think It's Over) (1978)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) Do you have any pranks planned for April Fool's Day?
No. I never do.
2) When Crazy Sam was a little girl, she once pranked her mother by putting bubble wrap under the bath mat so Mom heard a POP when she stepped on it. When you find bubble wrap, can you resist popping it?
Heck no!
3) This week's song is about a wise man counseling a heartbroken younger person. Chris Rea, who wrote and performs this song, says it was inspired by watching his kid sister endure her first breakup. Were you in love at 17? Do you remember the object of your affections?
I got my first boyfriend and was in love from age 13 to 17, when he entered the Jesuits. We still exchange Christmas cards.
4) She's dressed in black as she mourns the end of her romance. Does your wardrobe include a lot of black?
Yes, but mostly pants. Color for the top.
5) He offers to treat her to her first glass of good wine. Do you prefer white or red?
I rarely drink wine any more, but prefer white.
6) Chris' own teenage romance was highly successful. He met Joan Lesley while still in school and they have been married since 1968. Whose was the most recent wedding you have attended?
Wedding...wow, I can't remember! Maybe my cousin's daughter, for whom I made the cake...my cousin is now dead and her daughter has been divorced twice since then, so a very long time ago.
7) Chris Rea is a passionate race car fan and once worked as a pit mechanic for a Formula One race. Do you watch auto racing?
No.
8) In 1978, when this song was popular, Laverne and Shirley was America's #1 TV show. It's still available via cable and streaming today. Are/were you a fan?
Not a fan, though I watched it occasionally.
9) Random question: What are you grateful for this morning?

I think it's lovely that you and your old beau are still in touch. And yes, it's about time that system caught up to Donald Trump.
ReplyDeleteWe rarely go to weddings these days, as well. It seems like the young people just aren't tying the knot like they used to and if they do, there's no big wedding.
ReplyDelete#2 I think that it is something build into our DNA, we have to pop the bubbles when we see it.
ReplyDelete#5 I think the last bottle of wine I opened was from last summer and the open bottle is still in the refrigerator. That show how much of a wine drinker that I am.
I have too many medications that interact with wine for me to have it anymore. I liked the occasional glass of zinfandel.
ReplyDeleteI love your photo of the day
ReplyDeleteLove the photo of the day. I like to pop the bubble wrap, too.
