Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) Rod Stewart sings that the words "I love you" roll off his tongue. When did you most recently say, "I love you?"
A. Last night. My husband and I say it all the time.
2) In "Rhythm of My Heart," he recalls running down the alley with his lady love. Does your neighborhood have alleys?
A. My neighborhood has farm trails. No alleys.
3) Rod is well known for his coif. Are you having a good hair day today?
A. Lots of humidity and high heat today, so no.
4) Rod was the youngest of 5. He remembers that, as a family, they enjoyed singing with Al Jolson records. Did your family have singalongs?
A. Not exactly.
5) He is proud of his luxury car collection, which includes a Rolls Royce, a Ferrari and the one rumored to be his favorite: a classic mid-70s Lamborghini Countach LP400 Periscopio. Looking back on years as a driver and a car owner, which vehicle is your all-time favorite?
A. I had 1989 Ford Taurus that was a very good car. I drove it for 10 years. I also liked my 2003 Toyota Camry, which I also drove for 10 years. Both performed well and required little maintenance.
6) Rod turned 80 this year and he's still touring. Once known for his hard partying, he takes better care of himself now and rides a stationary bike every day. What steps do you take to keep fit?
A. I walk on the treadmill.
7) In 1991, when this song was popular, Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry died. Do you have a favorite Star Trek character?
A. From the original series, my favorite would have been Dr. McCoy aka Bones. My favorite from the series overall would be Captain Kathryn Janeway.
8) Also in 1991, Seinfeld was a big deal on network television. Today the entire series is available to stream and on DVD. When you binge a show, are you more likely to pop in a disc or turn to a streaming service?
A. We have DVDs of many shows, so I guess that, although I also stream some shows now that we have Internet that actually works.
9) Random question: Have you ever cared for a hamster or a gerbil? (Extra non-existent Saturday 9 points for its name.)
A. I have never had a hamster or a gerbil.

I think it's sweet and romantic that you two say, "I love you" all the time.
ReplyDeleteI have several series on DVD but couldn't tell you the last time I watched from DVD. I'm much more likely to stream.
ReplyDeleteI use a treadmill also, but haven't in a while. We mostly stream shows too. Loved your answers. Have a great weekend.

I really like Janeway. I was so happy to see a woman as captain
ReplyDeleteI like Bones too. I need to see if that older series is showing somewhere. I wish I had a treadmill because it is to hot to be walking outside and I don't feel like going to a crowded gym. Do you listen to music while on the treadmill?
ReplyDeleteI watch TV. I need for my eyes to be occupied. I tried reading while I walk but I can't do that.
