On Saturdays I take a break from the heavy stuff and have some fun…
BANNER
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here. Chosen for Father's Day.
1) In this song, a father shares the story of his daughter's life through first the boys, then the men, she brought home. The first is Rod, a little kid who wants to play in the backyard. Who were your playmates when you were young? Did you find it more fun to have them over to your home, or to go to theirs?
They don't call up "Baby Boomers" for nothing. We all hung around together until we got the keys to Daddy's car.
We terrorized each other's home equally... from one basement to another on a rainy summer day.
2) Then his daughter asked if Lee could carry her books on the walk to/from school. During your junior high years, how did you travel to school (bus, bicycle, car pool, shoe leather)?
By bike
We lived at the end of a dead-end street, this get out you had to peddle up a 150Ft hill. Then it was all downhill from there, a mile and half. But that meant it was a mile and half pumping up hill back the the house. End is a breath taking coast down the hill and in to the driveway.
3) Throughout this song, the father recalls that his daughter alternately called him "Daddy," "Dad," "Popsie," "Pop" and "Father." How did/do you address your father?
Dad.
4) The song ends with the daughter asking her father to babysit. When did you last look after someone else's child?
Um… um… you should asked “Have you ever…”
5) This record was a Top 10 hit in the US and it made the Top 20 in Canada. Much of its success was attributed to Mike Douglas' TV popularity. From 1965 to 1981, he hosted a daytime talk show. Do you watch much daytime TV?
Sad to say but over the winter I watched a lot of TV… western reruns.
6) Mike Douglas was a father himself. He had three daughters, including twins. Are there twins in your family?
Nope.
Now about Father's Day ...
7) Retail chains like O'Reilly Auto Parts, Auto Zone and Jiffy Lube are all promoting gift cards and car-related gifts for Father's Day. If you got a gift card from one of those stores, how would you upgrade your ride?
Detailed the inside of the car.
8) Dick's Sporting Goods also enjoys a spike in gift card sales around Father's Day. Have you more recently given or received a gift card?
Once again… Um… I never received a gift card. I given some but never received one.
9) In days gone by, ties were the #1 Father's Day gift. But as today's workplace has become more casual, fragrance has taken over the top spot. Dove Men+Care offers gift sets with shampoo/conditioner, body wash and antiperspirant. Think about your shower routine. Are your shampoo, body wash and antiperspirant all the same brand or the same scent?
Well first off, you only need shampoo if you have hair. Scented body wash.
Today I am down in central New Jersey today and my niece's for the last of the current crop grand-nieces of college graduates. Down and back in one day... dinner at a restaurant at 1, and back to my niece's house. I plan on leaving around 5 or 6, it should be around 3 hour drive back.
