Saturday 9

 

Morning Train

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! 

Morning Train (1981) 

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

1) In this song, Sheena Easton sings about her lover, who takes a train to and from work each day. When is the last time you took public transportation? Where did you go?

We took the Long Island Railroad into Manhattan, we met up with my daughter and her then-fiance (now husband) and his parents for brunch.

2) His workday begins at 9 and ends at 5. Do your days stick to a predictable schedule?  Definitely 

3) In the evening she sings that they may go to a movie, a restaurant or slow dancing ... whatever she wants. Which of those would you choose? 

We go out to eat at least once a week.  Movies less often.  We haven’t gone dancing in years.  

4) As a little girl, Sheena Easton performed at family gatherings, not just because she was talented but because she could be a bit of a ham. When you were a kid, were more often shy or outgoing?

Shy in social situations but I could really ham it up on stage.

5) In the late 1980s she was the spokeswoman for Bally's health clubs. Do you have a gym membership?

Yeah … but I haven’t gone in ages.  I have to either cancel the membership or start using it again,

6) In 1987 she played Sonny Crockett's love interest on Miami Vice. Were you a fan of the show?

No.

7) This weekend is a good reason to have a picnic or barbecue. The best-selling barbecue sauce flavors are sweet, spicy, and smoky. What's your favorite? 

Sweet, of course.

8) Labor Day weekend may offer a golden opportunity for napping and sleeping in. Do you snore? 

I am told that I do.

9) Labor Day traditionally marks the beginning of the fall. Will you be adding any new fall clothes to your wardrobe? 

Definitely.  I’ve lost a good deal of weight, I’ve dropped 105 pounds, had to get rid of most of my wardrobe because it no longer fits.  

Thanks so much for joining us again at Saturday: 9. As always, feel free to come back, see who has participated and comment on their posts. In fact sometimes, if you want to read & comment on everyone's responses, you might want to check back again tomorrow. But it is not a rule. We haven’t any rules here. Join us on next Saturday for another version of Saturday: 9, "Just A Silly Meme on a Saturday!" Enjoy your weekend!
