Unfamiliar with this song? Hear it here.
1) In this song, Johnnie Ray assures us we’ll feel better if we cry. Do you agree? I think I’ll quote Bud’s Law 41: It takes a big man to cry. It takes a bigger man to laugh at him. 
dream, believing it was real. Has that ever happened to you? Yes. And those dreams stay with you. I still remember one from my childhood where I could fly. Too many DC comics is my best guess…
3) Because this record was such a massive hit, Johnnie Ray was nicknamed “The Prince of Wails.” Without looking it up, do you know who is currently the Prince of Wales? Chas. Or is he the Prince of Camilla?
4) To cash in on the success of this single, 20th Century Fox cast Johnnie Ray in a big-budget musical, “There’s No Business Like Show Business.” Today it’s best remembered as a Marilyn Monroe movie. Have you seen many of Marilyn’s films? I think all of them. You won’t believe it, but I had a crush on her from about 8 years-old.5) After graduating from high school, Johnnie worked at low-paying jobs, including bus boy and soda jerk. He found he made better tips when he began playing piano in restaurants. Have you ever worked for tips? I would have starved.
9) Random question — Congratulations! You won a free three night/two day weekend for two in Las Vegas! The weather is predicted to be sunny and 65º each day you’re there. It’s 12:00 noon on your first day. Are we most likely to find you: a) gambling in the casino or b) having breakfast in bed or c) outside, enjoying the sun and the sights? I have a problem with the premise. What is a 3 night 2 day vacation. Do you arrive at midnight for the first night? It does not take much to confuse me. I mean I’ve been home for a year with nothing to do but spend time with the French twins. W’always me…
Have a good thought for the folks in Texas. Ted Cruz is a piece of work. He should have stayed in Mexico. See you next time. Same time. Same blog.

Love your answer to #1. You should be like Gibbs on NCIS and publish all your “rules.”
You get extra points for including a Marilyn gif from the exact movie mentioned. If only there was somewhere to redeem those vaunted Saturday 9 points.
A 3-night/2-day weekend vacation means you arrive after 3:00 PM on Friday and leave before 11:00 AM on Monday. You get a discount booking this way because it makes life so much easier for the hotel or Airbnb.
Do the twins know about a floral arrangement that arrived for Valentine’s Day at The Castle? (You’re a secret sweetie, aren’t you?)
You mean a 3 day 2 night. Thanks for the points. When they’re worth something, I’m ready! No, the twins don’t like me cheating…
NO. You arrive Friday after 3:00 PM and leave Monday before 11:00. FRIDAY NIGHT (1). SATURDAY NIGHT (2). SUNDAY NIGHT (3). Promise you’ll check with me before you book another flight/hotel package. I don’t want you to end up sleeping in your rental car Sunday night. The backseat really wouldn’t comfortable for you and the twins.
I was going to suggest you publish your rules, too!
I will…
Clothes would be a good thing for attending a wedding!
Maybe…
Marilyn was beautiful. Great crush to have!
You are so right about those “seemingly real” dreams staying with you. I dreamed Josh had died when he was little. It was so upsetting and I remember exactly how I felt at the time. Loved your answers! Have a nice weekend.
