Happy Friday!
.

It could be Somewhere Over The Rainbow.
Or perhaps I Gotta Be Me.
But the first thing I thought of when I saw the picture?

Freddie at Live Aid.
Aaaaayyy-o! Aaaayyy-o!
❤️
Now you.
What song do you think the hippo is singing?

Warning – you will be required to count. If that’s too much math early in the morning, please return later this afternoon.
Today’s exercise will prove how old you are.
Out of the 20 things listed, how many have you personally experienced?
.

.
Clearly I’m old as dirt because I’m 19 for 20… and the only reason it isn’t 20? I never owned a Walkman. Though the husband did and used it when jogging.
Talk about cumbersome tech!
.

.
How about you?
What’s your outdated, no longer in existence number…
.
.
And this time… bring your appetite.
.

.
Would you choose a rich and creamy clam chowder?
.

.
A traditional lobster roll?
(Chilled with mayonnaise or warm with butter on a grilled hot dog bun are the only acceptable choices. No celery, no lettuce, and god forbid no garlic aioli. It’s simple and delicious the way it is, don’t mess with perfection.)
.

.
A full lobster dinner with drawn butter, corn and steamed clams?
(Beer optional, but highly recommended)
.

.
A scrumptious slice of wild blueberry pie?
.

.
Or a perfectly decadent homemade Whoopie pie?
.

.
What’s first on your list?
.
.
It’s not required, by why else would you be here on a Friday ?
.

.
My knee is throbbing with pain, Lord Dudley Mountcatten just raced off the linoleum to vomit on the carpet and I tried to have a bowl of cereal this morning but the milk had turned.
Number 9 for me.
It’s going to be one of those days.
How about you?
Pick a Lucille.
.
.
Please answer this often asked question… what’s in your wallet?
.

.
My total is $120, but I can’t say I’m that ashamed.
How full is your wallet?
.
.
Because it’s Friday and I’m a creature of habit.
.

.
I’ll start…
“Four peanuts Karen.
I only asked for four peanuts!”
.
Now you.
Caption this photo.
.
.
All it requires is a little counting.
.

.
My husband constantly complains I’m a picky eater but I don’t think I am.
My number is 9.
What’s yours?
.
.
Because there’s at least one of you who looks forward to these.

This is the story of my life.
For 23 years we’ve lived in the country and loved it…. but we never had high speed internet. No streaming, lots of buffering, too many dropped connections. But this year? A miracle.
Fidium was hooked up and I can finally watch what everyone else does on something other than a 5 inch cell phone screen.
Yay!
So naturally now that I can stream? Maine is going to tax it.
The rat bastards.
Apple TV, Amazon Prime, Paramount Plus, HBO Max and Netflix. So my answer is 5… though the Amazon is free with my Prime shipping membership and the HBO comes with our Direct TV subscription.
Do you stream?
And if so, how much.
.
.
It’s quick and painless. And you can’t say that about much else these days.
.

.
I’m a white wine drinker all the way.
And it’s not just a slight preference, because for some bizarre reason the taste of red literally makes me gag. I absolutely can’t stand it, never could.
How about you?
Red or white.
.

.
.
You may have to think, but hopefully that won’t hurt.

A friend of mine just saw Stevie Nicks in concert at TD Garden in Boston. 77 years old and from the videos she showed me, Stevie still brings it.
Older, yes. Slower, no doubt. But the spirit is still strong.
.

.
My goosebumps song is Crystal .
And thanks to WordPress’s annoying new feature of not being able to embed videos, here’s a link.

If you like Stevie, what song does it for you?
