1. Has anyone ever made fun of your taste in music? Only my grandmother. I was about 12 when she said to me, “I don’t understand your music. It’s nothing but “Yeah, Yeah, Yeah”. The Beatles had just arrived, and she was referring to “She Loves You”
2. Do you have pop-tarts in your house right now? Nope. I really don’t eat a lot of sweets. Unless you’re talking about my neighbor’s college age daughter. On that I have no comment.
3. Does someone owe you over twenty dollars? Is $600 over $20?
4. When was the last time you burned any part of your body? On purpose or accidentally?
5. What kind of booze did you last take shots of? God, it has been so long. As Midnight Plowboy puts it, it might have been cough syrup or mouthwash (Jaggermeister or Goldschlager) but most likely was tequila.
6. If you could see any musician live, front row, who would you choose? I saw Rod Stewart from the front row. I stood up and we slapped 5. Front row isn’t as good as 10th, to me. I’ll go with Jimmy Buffett. He was FANTASTIC at Great Woods.
7. If I gave you ten dollars, what would you spend it on? A very cheap hooker.
8. Does / did either of your parents serve in the military? Nope. Dad was 4F for WW2.
9. Do you like sour candy? Somebody has a sweet tooth today, but it’s not me.
10. What do you do to stay awake when you’re tired? Sex usually works.
11. Do you wear your shoes around the house? Only on my ears.
12. Is there ever a time that you enjoy cold showers? Yes. Right after I burn myself intentionally.
13. Are you good at filling silence in awkward situations? Yes. At weddings, if I don’t know the table, I suggest electing a table captain. But first we decide what his or her job would be. It usually works if there’s alcohol involved.
14. Any TV shows you sit down weekly to watch? I like a few of those HGTV house flipping shows. As regular shows go, all mine are off for the summer. That is okay since I watch almost every inning of the Yankees. NCIS (still), Bull, The Good Doctor & The Resident are among my faves.
15. Are you one to sneak food into movie theaters? Nope. I just usually just have a very expensive Diet Coke.
The website is back up! It would never be without the help of our lady of the Peace Globes, Mimi Lenox. She figured it out, and now she’s gotta teach me. I can’t thank her enough. Bouncing Billy & I have tix for the Hartford Yard Goats tomorrow. The only problem is that we are expecting both a hurricane and tornado tomorrow. Oh, well. That’s baseball. I missed you guys. I should be back now. That means that we will do this again. Same time. Same blog.

You’re very welcome. I’m glad you like the website.
Did you order oatmeal? I’m going to need fortitude….
Too busy getting that TV you want…. 🙂
I agree that 5th row is better, generally, than 1st.
My father was 4F too,
My dad was still able to play basketball at UConn.
I would love to see Buffet in concert, but every time he comes here the concerts (he usually does 2) are sold out within minutes! I have yet to get lucky enough to get tickets.
Keep trying, Stacy. He’s worth it!
First of all, I could not be happier that you and Mimi are you and Mimi again. YAY!
Second, Sir Paul had Buffett play at his private party at the Hamptons. Since I was not on the guest list, I cannot say with certainty that they jammed, but you know in your heart they did. I know we’d both have loved to see that.
Third, I can’t get over how quick my darling Rizzo has become New York’s darling. It hasn’t even been a month yet (and he had covid for 10 days). I’m thrilled, of course. The Cubs treated him like shit this year and he deserves all the love that’s coming his way. If the Yankees sign him, I’m sure he’ll spread his philanthropy to out there, too. Right now, fans just seem to love his glove. Wait till they see what a genuinely wonderful person he is. (And meet his dachshund Kevin, quite possibly the cutest badly-behaved dog ever.)
OK, I’ll stop now. This comment is almost as long as the post, isn’t it?
Rizzo is a class act! Just love him. I hope they sign him. It’s complicated now that our regular guy is back and playing out of his mind. He’s not got Rizzo’s glove nor his class…
I enjoy watching The Good Doctor too. I am glad to see you back! Loved your answers! Have a great day!

You too, Lori!
I had to chuckle at #1 because I told my students the other day that I don’t like “woo woo” music (90s R&B).
But what do you think of rap & hip hop?
I would rather not be in the front row at a concert. But maybe the 5th row.
Or the 15th?
