Good Stuff

Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love to answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions!

Unfamiliar with this week's tune?   Hear it here.

1) This song begins with a guy realizing he's home alone. Do you enjoy being all by yourself?  I don't mind it.

2 He watches the sun throwing shadows on the floor. Which room in your home lets in the most sun?

All the rooms in the back of the house: kitchen, dining room, laundry room, bathroom, master bedroom.  These all face south and in winter when leaves are gone are super bright all day. In summer when the forest is greener they still get more light but filtered more.

3) He sings that he may write a letter to his ex. If you were inspired to send someone a handwritten message, do you have stationery or notecards on hand? What about first-class postage stamps?

Nope and No.

4) This week's band, Better Than Ezra, got their start in Baton Rouge. All the members attended LSU and played their first gig at Murphy's, a bar near campus. When you were in your early 20's, where did you and your friends go to socialize? 

I was married soI socialized at home and we entertained friends in our home.

5) While the band refuses to disclose the origin of their name, many assume the "Ezra" they refer to is poet Ezra Pound. Do you often read poetry?  Yes, I like Haiku and read it very often. I also read Edna St Vincent Millay and Dorothy Parker.  

 6) In 1995, when this song was popular, Michael Jordan "unretired" and returned to the Chicago Bulls. Tell us about a decision you wish you could undo.  There are several things I would undo 

7) Also in 1995, Phoebe Buffay first performed "Smelly Cat." Do you recall what show she sang on?

I never heard of Phoebe Buffay. Looking it up I see she was on Friends, a program I never watched.

8) Legendary New York Yankee Mickey Mantle died in 1995. How is your team doing so far this young baseball season?

If I was a fan it would be of the Yankees. I am mad at the Dodgers for leaving Brooklyn like rats off a sinking ship.  I don't know what either of them are doing.

9) Random question: What's in your garage, besides your car (lawn tools, holiday decorations, old paint cans, etc.)?  I don't have a garage so there is nothing in my make believe garage.
