Ramblings
I am by no means a stereotypical Jewish mother … but I do bear a resemblance to one when it comes to feeding guests. If you leave my house hungry, it’s your own fault, This is what I put out in the coffee table before dinner Saturday . It was devoured … But I still have a refrigerator full of leftovers. We made too much food. No one went home hungry. It’s time to take down the Thanksgiving decorations. I’ll put everything away for next year. So Thanksgiving is in the rear view mirror … the holiday season has begun. We’ve got plans — a trip to Rockefeller Center, holiday lights at the Bronx Zoo and Jones Beach, one (maybe two) Christmas concert, and a few movies. Christmas Eve at The Melting Pot. The usual. And during Friendsgiving the gang decided to accept our invitation for New Year’s Eve. We used to go out for New Year’s celebrations, spend a lot of money and not really enjoy ourselves.

We love to answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions! Saturday 9: Thank You Girl (1964) Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here . 1) Who were you talking to the last time you said, "thank you?" I say “thank you” all the time, can’t pinpoint the last time I said it. 2) Paul McCartney recalls that "Thank You Girl" was inspired by all the female fans who had written them fan letters, pledging undying love.
