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?

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?

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What’s your outdated, no longer in existence number…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?

Please feel free to substitute iguana, wombat or naked mole rat for your pet of choice in today’s question.

.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten is a gentle soul.

.

.

Though he was found wandering the roads by the shelter from which he was adopted, I can’t imagine him ever being a true stray.

.

.

He hides under the bed when company comes.

He runs from the vacuum, my blow dryer and the blender.

Loud noises, the voice of a stranger and barking dogs put him on the edge of a heart attack.

He was even terrified of the Christmas tree.

.

.

But the strangest thing he’s frightened of…

The thing that sends him skidding down the hall in terror every time it’s deployed?

.

.

The white trash bag I pull from a box, shake to loosen and line the kitchen can with. He’ll be halfway across the house… hear that, and run for cover.

It’s bizarre.

So what crazy thing is your pet scared of?

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.

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.
