1. Can you touch your nose with your tongue?
A. I had to give that a try to see, but no, I cannot do that.
2. What foreign language did you study in school? How much of it do you still remember?
A. I had three years of Spanish and one year of Latin. I remember very little of it. I keep thinking I should return to the Spanish so I can become fluent in it again. When you don't use things like that, they disappear.
3. What recipe did you most recently prepare? Where did you get the recipe and how did it turn out?
A. I hate to cook and I've had a shoulder impingement, so I've not really done much "recipe" cooking of late. I guess the last thing I made was a version of K&W's baked spaghetti. K&W was cafeteria chain, and we liked to eat there. Alas, it has gone out of business, taking its baked spaghetti with it. Their baked spaghetti did not have tomato sauce in it so I could eat it even with stomach ulcers. When we make it at home, we leave out the onions. The recipe makes a good 13" pan full of baked spaghetti and I have discovered it freezes well if you wrap it up in wax paper first.
4. What song have you listened to over and over and over again?
A. When I learn a song on the guitar, I tend to listen to it over and over again to try to get the chords and rhythm right. I don't recall the last song I did that with. It was easier before Amazon messed with Alexa so that now when you ask for a specific song, sometimes you get it, sometimes you don't. Before I could play a song continually until I had it in my head. The last song I really remember doing that with was Comfortably Numb, by Pink Floyd, which I've now since forgotten.
5. Are there currently any pets in your household? Are you considering adding another?
A. There are no pets in the house. There are about 40 cows and two bulls in the pasture fields, though. We also have a nice bit of wildlife that includes deer, bear, turkey, coyotes, and now a bobcat!
6. As an adult, have you ever performed with a drama group? (Student productions don't count.)
A. I have never performed with a drama group as an adult. I have, however, been involved in drama but that was not theater.
Thank you for playing! Please come back next week.

"I have, however, been involved in drama but that was not theater." THAT was very wryly funny
ReplyDelete#3 – Now you've got me thinking longingly of Geppetto's. It was a long-standing neighborhood restaurant near the train tracks. I frequently treated myself to an impromptu dinner there after a tough day at work – vodka/cran and baked spaghetti. The world looked better when I got home. They didn't survive covid. In the five years there's been a deli there and now a Cuban restaurant. Much as I enjoyed the deli, I still miss Geppetto's.
ReplyDeleteI love all of the wildlife you have around your house.
ReplyDeleteI am not a huge fan of cooking either. #6...isn't that the truth for most of us. Loved your answers! Have a great day.

I had 8 years of French studies but never use it, so I'm *very* rusty. You're right, though: use it or lose it!
ReplyDeleteI tried to reproduce "Just Can't Get Enough" by Depeche Mode on my synthesiser and I discovered that you can listen to it on You Tube and slow it down, something I needed because I can't really play a piano. It helped me a lot.
ReplyDelete:o)
