Because it could be fun, that’s why.

.

.

Let’s check out some of the good answers.

I feel you Dean, it’s been a while for me as well. Though not that long thankfully.

.

.

I don’t think that qualifies as a band, but… wow.

.

.

I know who they are! And saw them quite a few times in my youth.

.

.

Now you’re talking!

As for me, the last concert I saw was James Taylor. I loved James back in the day, and still enjoy his music when I’m in a mellow mood. Seeing him in concert is like sitting in his living room… very laid back.

So Thanksgiving dinner with Sweet Baby James in the Berkshires? Count me in.

How about you?

Who are you feasting with…

Do you Wordle?

I didn’t, but now I do.

.

.

And damn, judging from my very first attempt?

I rock!

.

.

Considering I had no earthly idea what I was doing, I am proud of myself.

In case you don’t already know Wordle is the new game that’s taken over the internet. It’s web based, not an app… and you can only play once a day. So while I think it’s going to be addicting, there’s no danger of wasting countless hours staring at a screen.

The premise is simple. The daily puzzle is one 5 letter word and you have six chances to guess it. Everyone gets the same word so it’s become something of a world wide competition.

Sound simple? Trust me, it’s not.

.

.

While I lucked out on my first puzzle and guessed it in three, the next day I didn’t guess it all and was extremely frustrated. (I will henceforth hate the word knoll and it’s dastardly kn consonant combination.)

So Google “Wordle… A Daily Word Game” and give it a go.

And let us know how you did.

Admit it, you’ve got nothing else to do.

As a voracious reader, this is an easy one for me…

Books!

.

.

In our house there are numerous stacks (and bags and crates and shelves and closets and boxes, well you get the idea) filled with books and I have never… not once in my life, ever thought I had enough.

.

.

So how about you?

What can’t you stop buying…

It may be a new year, but some things aren’t changing.

.

.

The answers on Facebook were way funnier than what I came up with so here you go…

.

.

Alaska shrinkage is most assuredly a thing.

.

.

And that’s the type of wood you definitely don’t want to chop.

.

.

Ouch!!!

.

.

Thankful to be a woman for this one.

.

There’s casual… and then there’s casual.

.

Alcohol. It says everything is a good idea.

Out with the old and in with the new…

Our new pool table arrived… in pieces and parts.

.

.

I wasn’t here when assembly started so I missed the table being positioned, leveled, slated and beeswax sealed …

.

.

But arrived in time to see the fabric being laid. ( Upgraded professional fabric, as no mere felt would do for the man cave extraordinare)

If you’ve never had a pool table installed? Let me tell you… it’s a lot of work. These two were at it non stop for over 2 hours.

.

.

But the result was perfection.

.

.

Viola!

.

.

Now that’s a pool table. It was a dark rainy day so the lighting doesn’t do it justice, but the finish is lovely…

.

.

With the maple looking positively tiger like along the rails.

.

.

Before.

.

.

After.

.

.

Before.

.

.

After.

A table worthy of the Barn Mahal.

Please note the husband’s cue stick on the right in the last picture. He was playing as soon as the installation crew left and I had a hard time getting photos without his hovering presence.

I had to drag him out of there for dinner last night and he went right back to play after breakfast this morning. I don’t think I’m exaggerating in the least to say he loves it.

And if we were newly married?

I might be jealous.

Yes, we’re still doing these.

The easy answer is dust bunnies, but let’s actually take a look. I’ve been known to use the space under our bed for storage so there’s no telling what we’ll find.

.

.

As of today, there are two things. A box of extra dishes….

Because #1 – you can never have too many dishes. And #2 – when the current pattern you’re using hits the sale rack, you stock up.

.

.

The other item crammed under our bed is a turntable used to convert vinyl into MP3 files. The husband bought it for my birthday a while back because I have a massive album collection. He also bought me the iPod that holds 35,000 plus songs…. so I spent countless hours ( read days, weeks, months ) playing and converting the obscure music of my youth.

Moon Martin? Check!

.

.

The Flying Burrito Bothers? Sure.

And man, did I love me some Del Fuegos.

.

.

So fess up, what’s under your bed?
