Saturday 9

 
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 memes, however, and here is today's meme! 

Morning Train (1981) 

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) In this song, Sheena Easton sings about her lover, who takes a train to and from work each day. When is the last time you took public transportation? Where did you go?
A couple of years ago, when I was still volunteering at the used book store.  Walt usually picked me up after work, but when he wasn't able to, I took the local bus home.

2) His workday begins at 9 and ends at 5. Do your days stick to a predictable schedule?
For someone who is retired, my days are surprisingly predictable, ending with dinner at exactly 6 p.m. (the time Ned serves dinner) followed by an evening watching TV and then sleep between 9 and 10.

3) In the evening she sings that they may go to a movie, a restaurant or slow dancing ... whatever she wants. Which of those would you choose?
Probably a restaurant.  We almost never go to restaurants, but did yesterday and it was great!

4) As a little girl, Sheena Easton performed at family gatherings, not just because she was talented but because she could be a bit of a ham. When you were a kid, were more often shy or outgoing?
Always shy.

5) In the late 1980s she was the spokeswoman for Bally's health clubs. Do you have a gym membership?
I believe we do.  We did many years ago and I think Walt still pays into it, but neither of us has been to the gym in many years.

6) In 1987 she played Sonny Crockett's love interest on Miami Vice. Were you a fan of the show?
Never saw it.

7) This weekend is a good reason to have a picnic or barbecue. The best-selling barbecue sauce flavors are sweet, spicy, and smoky. What's your favorite?
Sweet Baby Ray's.

8) Labor Day weekend may offer a golden opportunity for napping and sleeping in. Do you snore?
I don't know.  I sleep alone and nobody has ever told me I snore...but I might.

9) Labor Day traditionally marks the beginning of the fall. Will you be adding any new fall clothes to your wardrobe? 
I just ordered a Kamala Harris t-shirt.
