Good

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 to answer the questions; however, here are today's questions!

Saturday 9: Good (1995)

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

1) This song begins with a guy realizing he's home alone. Do you enjoy being all by yourself?  I don't mind being alone, which is good since I'm alone now that my best friend and husband of 36 years died five years ago.  I'm comfortable with myself, but also love having company!

2) He watches the sun throwing shadows on the floor. Which room in your home lets in the most sun?  The rooms on the east side of my house get more sun.  The west side has the carport blocking the sun.

3) He sings that he may write a letter to his ex. If you were inspired to send someone a handwritten message, do you have stationery or notecards on hand? What about first-class postage stamps?  Yes, I do have stationery AND notecards on hand, as well as a roll of stamps ready to post!

4) This week's band, Better Than Ezra, got their start in Baton Rouge. All the members attended LSU and played their first gig at Murphy's, a bar near campus. When you were in your early 20's, where did you and your friends go to socialize?  I was an old married lady in my 20s (married at 19).  I call that part of my life "my other life".  We did not socialize, and I had no friends.  That's all I'll say about that.  I worked full-time.  Divorced at 29. My life got so much better!! 

5) While the band refuses to disclose the origin of their name, many assume the "Ezra" they refer to is poet Ezra Pound. Do you often read poetry?  Nope.  I have a great-nephew named Ezra, though!

6) In 1995, when this song was popular, Michael Jordan "unretired" and returned to the Chicago Bulls. Tell us about a decision you wish you could undo.  God is in control.  Every decision I have made has led me to where I am today, along the path God has put before me.  Hard things and mistakes have made me wiser and stronger.  It's all gonna be okay.  It is okay!!

7) Also in 1995, Phoebe Buffay first performed "Smelly Cat." Do you recall what show she sang on?  I loved "Friends" and watched it every week.

8) Legendary New York Yankee Mickey Mantle died in 1995. How is your team doing so far this young baseball season?  I've never been a baseball fan, but I followed the Phillies when Joe was alive.

9) Random question: What's in your garage, besides your car (lawn tools, holiday decorations, old paint cans, etc.)?  I don't have a garage at this house.  My carport has my trash cans, stackable lawn chairs, my grill, and my car.

Peace and Hugs!
