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 questions, however, and here are today's questions!
On Saturdays I take a break from the heavy stuff and have some fun…
1) When did you most recently take a train?
 |
View up Seventh Avenue |
I was a consultant to a non-profit developing a program for senior center and we took the train to NYC
2) The lyrics promise "coffee-flavored kisses and a bit of conversation." Have you more recently had coffee, a kiss, or a chat?
Coffee, when I go to and come from the Cape I have a 32oz coffee.
3) The record opens with a guitar riff inspired by The Beatles' "Day Tripper." Can you play guitar?
Nope. I tried to learn to play a trumpet. I believe my family was glad that I gave it up.
4) The lead vocals are performed by Micky Dolenz. He is the only surviving member of the Monkees. Without looking it up, can you name his bandmates?
I had to look it up, Pete Tork lived in Connecticut and had been know to get up on the stage during the band break.
5) The Monkees starred in an award-winning sitcom for two seasons. In Season 2, Micky surprised fans by appearing with a curly perm. Do you curl, straighten or color your hair?
My hair looks like I stuck my fingers in an outlet.
6) Micky also did a stint at WCBS radio in New York. He spun the oldies every morning and helped his listeners get ready for work. Do you turn on the radio or TV when you first wake up?
Yes. I watch the morning news.
7) Micky's daughter, Ami, followed her father into show business, appearing in several movies and a recurring role in General Hospital. If you followed your father into his profession, what would you have done for a living?
Well it depends upon when in his life. He was a civil engineer (I was an electrical engineer.), then a teacher he taught math and blue print drawling, high school principal, and head of a college system.
8) In 1966, when this song topped the charts, miniskirts took the fashion world by storm. What have you recently added to your wardrobe?
Slippers.
9) Random question -- You order chicken noodle soup and a packet of saltines arrives with the bowl. Do you: 1) break the crackers into pieces and stir them into your soup or 2) squeeze them in your hand and sprinkle the crumbles into your soup or 3) leave them untouched?
#1 I very daintily break them up.
Thanks so much for joining us again at Saturday: 9. As always, feel free to come back, see who has participated and comment on their posts. In fact sometimes, if you want to read & comment on everyone's responses, you might want to check back again tomorrow. But it is not a rule. We haven’t any rules here. Join us on next Saturday for another version of Saturday: 9, "Just A Silly Meme on a Saturday!" Enjoy your weekend!
Where I’m heading on Turkey Day?
Where should I go on Thanksgiving?
- To a friend’s house 46%
- To my brother’s family in New Jersey 31%
- To my cousin’s a couple of towns over 23%
And the winner is…
To my brother’s family in New Jersey!
As you know that I didn’t want to drive over in the dark to the motel, well the “kids” will drive me over and back to the motel.
So you're being "chauffeured" to and from Thanksgiving! Well la-de-dah!
