Saturday:9 Meme....




Working My Way Back to You

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 memes, however, and here is today's meme!

Saturday 9: Working My Way Back to You (1966)

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

1) We're celebrating the last holiday of summer with The Four Seasons. Which season is your favorite?  Winter in Florida.

2) Before they settled on The Four Seasons, they called themselves The Four Lovers, The Romans and The Village Voices. If you were/are in a band, please share the name. Or just make up a cool name for your pretend band.  Kitten Kadiddles....

3) Lead singer Frankie Valli has occasionally fudged the year of his birth. Have you ever lied about your age?  Nope.

4) Frankie Valli, Frank Sinatra, Jon Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen ... New Jersey has given us many music superstars. What is your state known for?   Jim Morrison, Pat Boone, Enrique Iglesias, Gloria Estefan, for music; Zora Neale Hurston for literature.

5) In 1965, Frankie was arrested in Columbus, Ohio. But it wasn't his fault! The bandmate he trusted to pay the group's hotel bill neglected to do so. Tell us about a time when your trusting nature got you in trouble.  I tend to be too trusting, but thankfully it hasn't gotten me in trouble (that I know of, anyway).

6) Clint Eastwood directed the movie version of the Four Seasons biography, Jersey Boys. What's your favorite Clint Eastwood movie?  I love Jersey Boys, but we also loved Gran Torino. 


Since Labor Day is the holiday established to celebrate the American worker … 

7) According to the U.S. Census, more and more Americans are working from home. Are you one of them?  No, I go to the office every day. But don't all women work at home?!

8) Of those of us who work outside the home, 75% travel to work alone. 15% take public transportation and the remaining 10% carpool. How do you get to your job?  I travel to work alone now, but when we lived in the metro DC area, I carpooled.

9) Do you have any big plans for this holiday weekend?  We had plans to go to St. Augustine with our son and daughter-in-law, but got a call last night that Darlene is not feeling well. We called the trip off.  But, it is also Joe's birthday today so we will go see a movie and find some fun!

Thanks to Crazy Sam for another Saturday:9.  These questions are always fun to answer.  Thanks for your visit!! Peace & hugs!
