1. Are any of your friendships on a fine line? No, I’m lucky to have life long friends. My last marriage ended with “Can we still be friends?” I responded, “I have lots of friends. I did not marry you to become your friend in less than three years.”
2. Have you ever witnessed a birth? Just four. I was there for each of my kids births. I also was there my first grandchild’s birth. But I waited outside during the birth.
3.Where’s your favorite place to be when you feel depressed? Near a Smirnoff bottle.
4. Are you currently looking forward to tomorrow? Yes. My son Ben’s coming over to watch football. Go Pats!
5. When was the last time you held someone’s hand? I held my Aunt Helen’s hand as she passed from this world.
6. Have you ever faked sick? No. Have you faked an orgasm? Your turn.
7. Are you currently wearing jeans? Nope. I haven’t even showered yet.
8. Have you gone to a coffee shop within the past week? [i.e. Starbucks] I go to Dunkin Donuts a lot. But it’s for a donut. I don’t usually 
drink coffee. I did have a coffee drink last night. I love it with Baileys & Grand Marnier. I learned that one from my second wife. And yes I will hand out scorecards so you guys can keep the three exes straight.
9. Would you like to be able to read thoughts? My instinct is to say “yes”. But upon further review, probably not. Who wants their feelings hurt?
10. Do certain swear words just roll off your tongue? Fuck no.
11.Are you often the last one to understand a joke? No. Or “fuck no” if you prefer.
12.Can experience be gained just by reading? I only read newspaper and the internet. I vastly prefer TV.
13. Does playing the guitar make a person more attractive? No. Another sexist question, unless you mean Joan Jett. But the answer remains the same. No.
14. Have you ever slept in a tent, indoors or out? No. My idea of camping is a room at the Marriot.
15. What does your hair look like at the moment? A total disaster. But as I said, I haven’t showered yet.
16. Are you mad right now? I’m still a tad angry with my wife for not telling me earlier that she decided to leave. That said, I would never go back. How could you trust someone like that? Besides I’m just looking forward to New Year’s.
17. Who did you spend your summer with last year? The last wife.
18. Did you eat a cookie today? Nope.
Have a great week! See you next weekend. Same time. Same blog.
As a female guitar player, I must list others – Nancy Wilson, Sheryl Crow, Melissa Etheridge, etc. But I don’t think playing the guitar naturally makes one sexy. And Bud, I do hope that things begin to turn around for you. Now, and not after the New Year.
That’s kind. I have no idea why I thought of Joan Jett. Your examples are much better…
Wow. You were there for both the beginning and end of life. That’s intense. You do have a book in you, Bud. You just have to harness your energy/attention!
I know what you mean about New Year’s. Someone (Tennessee Williams?) said, “We’re all virgins in the morning.” That’s how I feel about 12:01 AM on 1/1. The big restart button is hit and we all get to start over.
I keep saying that I’ll work on the book on my next vacation. Last vacation I just put all the chapters so far, together. Then I stared at it. The shit does not write itself…
I’m chiming in with The Gal–go write your book already!
Next vay-kay I will attempt to proceed…
I’m quite amused that everyone’s using the same swear word.
And yes, please use it in your book. 😉
Fuck yea.
“Can we still be friends?” is female code for “can I still call you if I need to borrow some money, need you to fix my toilet, or want you to help me move some furniture?” fyi.
You nailed it.
On guitar players we agree…though I gave male examples. 😉
Not really a “hot” item…
