Let’s play.

.

Because it’s Friday and that’s what we do here.

.

.

Okay, I’ll date myself.

.

.

Anyone else remember Barnabas Collins?

.

.

An obscure short lived British comedy from the mid ‘70’s.

.

.

What can I say? I was obsessed with dinosaurs when I was young. Even as a child I knew it was stupid… but it had Stegosaurs and Triceratops. Claymation et al, I was hooked.

So.

What long defunct television show did you watch way back when ?

.

Let’s play.

.

Because it’s Friday and it shouldn’t tax your brain.

The first song that popped into my head was from my (extremely misspent) youth.

.

.

I remember being in high school art class when our teacher announced the new assignment… draw an album cover. I chose this New Riders of the Purple Sage record and got an A. Though Mrs. O’Neill erased the joint in his hand which made him look somewhat Italian. 😉

Fun fact? I still have my original vinyl.

The other song that rattled around my brain?

.

.

Little Red Corvette by Prince.

.

.

Musical genius, taken too soon.

Now you…

Name a song with red in the title.

.

Let’s play.

A simple question about preferences today.

.

.

Years ago, in my younger pre-menopausal days, I’m sure I would have said 100 degrees. We lived down south where summer lasted 8 months and I was breaking out the bikini for sunbathing in February.

Those days are long gone (as are my bikinis) and now? I’ll take the crisp cold 0 temps of winter over a sweltering sauna all day long. I can put on extra clothes to stay warm, but can’t strip down far enough to cool off in that suffocating high heat.

I’m sure I’m the outlier here, but does anyone else prefer the cold?

.

Let’s play.

If you’ve never read a Stephen King book or watched a Stephen king movie?

Never mind.

.

.

I’ve never been on a cruise, and have no desire to board a floating Petri dish of noro virus contagion… but if forced?

I’d bring John Coffey from The Green Mile, the only Stephen King book that literally made me weep. If you don’t think the master of horror and weirdness can pen a heartfelt and beautiful story? You need to read The Green Mile. I dare you not to choke up when John cures the warden’s wife.

That poor man is in dire need of a vacation.

And if John can’t come, because.. you know, he’s dead?

I’d pick Andy Dufresne and Red, from The Shawshank Redemption. The other King masterpiece that proves he can really write if he wants to.

Andy, Red and me at the bar…. raising a glass to Rita Hayworth, second chances and friendship.

Yeah, I can see that.

How about you…

What Stephen King character are you taking on a cruise?

.

Let’s play.

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…
