Jose Cuervo

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: Jose Cuervo (1983)

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

 

1) In this song, Shelly West sings that she woke up late on a sunny morning. How's the weather in your part of the world?  It is still hot and humid and rainy here in central Florida!

2) She wonders if she started any fights while under the influence. Who's the last person you quarreled with?  I truly don't remember.  Joe and I rarely quarreled and I tend to be a peacekeeper so quarreling is kind of off my radar.
 
3) OK, margaritas for everyone! Shelly sings that she likes hers with salt. What's your order? Classic or strawberry? Salt or sugar on the rim?  I do like a margarita now and then - classic with salt on the rim, please.

4) Jose Cuervo was a real person. He was one of the first to put tequila in bottles instead of barrels. Since bottles are easier to ship, it was a good decision. Tell us about a recent choice you're glad you made.  I am glad I went out to eat with two friends from my church small group, Livia and Wilma.  Our group is still meeting on zoom and I really miss socializing with my church friends. It was great fun and was my third dinner out this week. I can't do that every week but it has been nice.

5) This week's featured artist, Shelly West, decided upon a career in music while still very young. She went on the road and sang backup for her mom, country music legend Dottie West when she was still in her teens. When Sam was in her teens, she really didn't give her professional future that much thought. How about you? Did you already have career ambitions when you were in your teens?  In high school, I thought I would be an art teacher.

 
6) In 1983, the year this song was popular, Sally Ride became the first American woman in space. Do you ever fantasize about being an astronaut?  Not even for a minute.

7) Also in 1983, quarterback Aaron Rodgers was born. The NFL season is just kicking off. Do you have high hopes for your team this year?  Not paying a bit of attention to the NFL this year (or last).

8) In 1983, Motorola introduced the first cell phone. Do you have an easy time adapting to new technology?  Yes, I think I do.  I have been using computers since they were all DOS.  I even did some programming in DOS back in the day.

9) Think of the last potato chip you had. Was it plain, sea salt, barbecue, sour cream, and onion ...?  Plain with ridges!  Having some as I type this!

Peace & hugs!

Jesus loves us!
