Saturday 9 time...

Thanks to Crazy Sam Winters for this week's Saturday 9! You can visit HERE and join in!

Where You Lead

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! 

Where You Lead (1971)

Unfamiliar with this week's song. Hear it here.

1) This is the theme of The Gilmore Girls, a TV show that ran from 2000 to 2007. It recently enjoyed renewed popularity as a reboot. Were you a fan? Nope. I've never seen that show.

2) The show is about thirtysomething Lorelai Gilmore, her teenage daughter Rory, and her parents, Richard and Emily. The four of them had dinner together every Friday night. Who did you have dinner with on Friday?  With Joe. What was on the menu?  Last night, we had home-made tortilla pizzas and a nice salad. Easy!!

3) Lorelai is outgoing and talkative. How about you? Are you seldom at a loss for words?  I put myself somewhere in-between. I can be outgoing and if I know someone can hold my own in a conversation but I am not comfortable in a crowd of people I don't know.  Not good at small talk, at all.

4) Rory dreamed of going to an Ivy League school and then becoming a broadcast journalist. When you were in high school, what were your ambitions?  Early in my teens, I wanted to own a horse ranch in Colorado. Then I thought I'd be a hair-dresser. Then an art teacher. Ended up an accountant and human resources manager. Jokes on me!!


5) Rory's grandfather (and Lorelai's dad) went to Yale and performed with the Whiffenpoofs, Yale's famous a cappella group. Have you ever sung in front of an audience?  Not solo. I sang alto in the high school chorus and have sung many times as part of a group. I even made all-county chorus one year.

6) Rory's grandmother (and Lorelai's mother) Emily was very active in civic organizations and worked hard on the Hartford Zoological Society's Annual Silent Auction. Have you ever attended an auction? I have attended quite a few silent auctions. The museum where I worked for 20+ years had one every year at their Gala fundraiser and I belonged to several civic organizations that also had silent auctions. They are fun.

7) Alexis Bledel, who played Rory, went on to appear in Mad Men and The Handmaid's Tale. Of these three shows -- Gilmore Girls, Mad Men andThe Handmaid's Tale -- which would you prefer to binge-watch?  I can't answer this since I have no idea what any of those shows are about. I've not seen one of them, even once.

8) Carole King originally wrote this week's song, "Where You Lead," for her Tapestry album. Do you have a favorite Carole King song?  I'm not a big Carole King fan though do like several of her songs.  I like "Far Away" and "I Feel the Earth Move".
 
9) Random question: If zoo animals could talk, which animal do you imagine would be the rudest?  The apes. Aren't they the ones that throw their poop at zoo visitors? Yuck!!  (I believe they are also closest to humans.)

Thanks for peeking in today!  Happy Saturday!

Peace & hugs!  God bless!!
