Saturday 9: Stuck on You (2012)
Unfamiliar with this week’s tune? Hear it here.
1) This upbeat song is from a CD called The Bright Side. What is brightening your world this fine Saturday? I’m hoping for some naked neighborhood women’s choir to show up. My wife won’t mind unless I invite them in. I was in a car accident yesterday. No one was hurt, but it was a long day. I crashed (as in sleeping) at 7:30 and slept 13 hours. I’m never up till ten on a Saturday. Wait, I hear the doorbell. I hope it’s the choir!!! brb
2) Our featured artist Meiko sings, “You are the one I can see having fun with …”. When is the last time you laughed hard? Who were you with? Kathy and I laugh hard a lot. We had a fire the other night and I remember us laughing as we had cocktails. What we thought was funny is anyone’s guess. And whether it was actually funny or it was the cocktails, I don’t know.
3) She also sings, “I must confess when I wear this dress I feel like dancing …”. Does your mood have an impact on what you wear? No. Sometimes it impacts me on what I’m not wearing.
4) In this video, she accidentally drops one of her meatballs on the floor. Do you believe in “the five second rule,” which states that if food has been on the floor less than five seconds it’s still OK to eat? Or, after it hits the floor, is the next stop always the garbage? I’m a five second rule guy. NOT to be confused with a five second guy.
5) Despite her exotic-sounding name, Meiko was born in Atlanta, home of the Braves. Do you plan on going to the ballpark this season? Yes. Ben (my son) and I go to a Yankee game every year.

We record every other month. It’s down from doing it weekly in the 80-90s and almost daily in the 60-70s. But it beats the “now and then” we had been doing. In the pic from left: Billy, Johnnie, Bud & Rock. May 23rd is next.
6) Meiko recently posted a photo of herself in DisneyLand posing with Goofy. Who took the most recent photo of you? What were you doing? Kathy takes a quick WTIT photo shoot every time we record. Our picks cover a very long time. Kathy is big into photography and enjoys contributing to the 45 years of photos involving WTIT.
7) Are you stubborn? Only when I’m right and I always am.
8) Let’s visit your bathroom: What color is your toothbrush? This is the lamest invite to a bathroom that I’ve ever had.
9) Which would we find: bar soap or liquid soap? Bar. And come to think of it, I need a drink. There is never a fucking waitress around when you need one.
What a week. On Monday we were talking hospice for my dad because his kidneys shut down. And that was because we were told there was no shot. By yesterday his kidneys were working fine and went back to his assisted living home! 3 on Thursday launched. It’s a bit odd because of the way I got involved. I do hope it does well, but just 3 questions? It’s more of an appetizer than a meme. If I get his computer on I’ll share the link that Gal sent me to watch Wrigley’s 100. But why the Sammy snub? Even The Rocket was well received in Boston and put in their Hall of Fame. I liked the way the Sox did it at Fenway. Include EVERYBODY. We will be back stealing with Allison. Same time. Same blog. Peace & love…
I know no one was injured in your accident but still, that’s a drag. I hope your insurance company (or the other driver’s) does right by you.
The hand wringing over Sosa’s omission was started by … well … Sammy. To be honest, I didn’t even notice. I was too busy missing my beloved all time favorite Cub, Greg Maddux. I understand Ryne Sandberg not being there. But I would’ve liked to see Derrick Lee, Bill Buckner and Mark Grace. I think so many were omitted because they had to make room for the Ditka-Butkus-Sayers Bears, who are also so beloved here and also played at Wrigley.
It’s a roller coaster you’re on with your dad. I’m glad you have Kathy and your WTIT buddies (and us) all sending good thoughts your way.
You or “us” is very important. It is strange how close we get on the internet. There are times I feel that I can share stuff with you that I could not in a much more viewed public forum. I still think they could have “made room” for Sammy, Derrick Lee, Bill Buckner and Mark Grace. Not a great job…
Oh, Bud, I hope you didn’t injure your back in your accident. I’m with The Gal about your dad–sending good thoughts your way.
Thanks Allison. My back is not worse. I was lucky. Very lucky!! Thanks again…
We did the hospice thing for my parents too. It was actually my mom who went through all of the shutdowns. My dad just got the cancer(s) and it was just the best thing to do. Appreciate every moment.
Thanks for the bar idea. Makes total sense… said the person looking at 5:00 just around the corner…
You should never acknowledge work before happy hour…
…love your stubbornness answer. lol
I join the others is hoping your back stays out of your way, and in sending prayers for your father (and you and Kathy!). Old age just bites, there’s nothing else to say. Laugh with him as much as you can–great memories!
Glad the accident wasn’t serious, hope you have no residuals from it. And hope your dad continues doing well. Have a great week!
You DO make me laugh – number 4 answer in particular! I know you’re a busy man but if you can spare the bother or the time my answers to the meme (I’m a newby!) are here:

Good day! Do you know if they make any plugins to assist with SEO?
I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m
not seeing very good success. If you know of any please share.
Thanks!
