Saturday 9:

On Saturdays I take a break from the heavy stuff and have some fun… 


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

1) As you answer these questions, are you wearing leather, lace, or both?
Neither.

2) This song is a duet between members of two superstar groups – Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac and Don Henley of The Eagles. Which band do you listen to more often, Fleetwood Mac or The Eagles?
The Eagles!

3) In this duet, "lace" tells us she is stronger than we know and "leather" admits that sometimes he's vulnerable. Do either side of this lyrical equation apply to you? Do you think you're either tougher than people realize, or more sensitive than they know?
I more sensitive. When friends were saying that I should get my MSW, I said no way I would be crying along with my patients (That’s why my concentration is in Community Organizing).
 
4) Both Stevie and Don are born Westerners. Stevie spent her early childhood in Arizona and Don was born in Texas and stayed there through college. Today Stevie has two homes – one in Pacific Palisades and another in Phoenix – while Don has a beautiful home in Dallas. Do you feel rooted where you are? Or can you see yourself moving to another city or state in the future?
Ha!
I lived in the same town since the early 50s. 

5) Stevie and Don were romantically involved in the 1970s, but after they broke up they remained friendly. Not only did they record this song in 1981, they went on tour together in 2005. Have you recently heard from an ex?
Don’t have one.

6) Stevie admits a lifelong passion for Animal Crackers, those little cookies shaped like tigers, bears and elephants. Is your go-to snack sweet, like Stevie's, or is it salty?
A chocolate milkshake, since I learned you can make them with an immersion blender, I’ve gone overboard with them.

7) Don likes Velveeta on his burgers. Describe your ideal cheeseburger.
On a hard roll:
Burger,
Pepper Jack cheese,
Onion,
Tomato,
Pickles,
and Russian dressing.

8) In 1981, when this song was popular, both Maserati and Mercedes Benz introduced luxury convertibles. Have you ever owned a convertible? Would a convertible be practical for your lifestyle?
I used to on a convertible back in the 60s, and they were hot in summer and cold in winter. The worst was getting stuck in traffic and baking.
 
9) Random question: What are you most looking forward to this week?
Sitting out on the deck (In the shade) and chilling out!



In the “When it rains it pours” department… I was just diagnosed with Basal cell carcinoma. I see the mole doc on the 20th.

If there is a silver lining, that it is the slowest spreading cancer, "Basal cell carcinoma can spread, but this is rare. Most basal cell carcinomas do not spread."
