songbird's crazy world

  Accidentally in Love 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, and here is today's questions! Saturday 9: Accidentally in Love (2004) Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it  here . 1) In the video for this song, a young man dances alone in the kitchen while making breakfast for his lady love. When no one's looking, do you often bust a move? Dance like no one is watching! 2) "Accidentally in Love" was featured in the animated movie  Shrek 2.   In this video, a plushie from the movie is shown on their bed. Do you have any plush toys in your bedroom?   Y...

 So Shadow decided to sneak up behind Duchess and bop her on the rear …but was absolutely shocked when Duchess raised a paw and tried to hit her … They have the same new place to sit …but not at the same time, of course. All hail the mighty hunter Moon Shadow But what is she hunting? In the morning she hunts birds at the feeder.  But at night? Yes, it came right up to the back window … And Duchess went hunting too …

 I subtitled this blog “life in and around New York City is insane”. Usually that is an exaggeration. But not last night. I’m not much of a basketball fan. But living in New York I am affected by the current basketball situation last night. Drew was watching game four of the Knicks versus the Spurs. He was not a happy camper, the Knicks were losing. I went upstairs. I was doing other things. And then I heard shout from all over the neighborhood. Happy shouts.  Even fireworks! It seems the Knicks won game 4. It seems that when an unwelcome president shows up at the Garden, things do not go well. But when a popular singer shows up  (Taylor Swift was there last night) it’s much better. Now they head to Texas, up 3-1, a single victory away from winning  the championship. And I know quite well the insanity that will ensue if they win the championship. I’ve been to many victory celebrations. I remember the parade when the Mets won the World Series in1986. I remember the pa...

  Saturday night in Central Islip.  A capacity crowd at the ballpark.  The Long Island Ducks versus the Staten Island Ferryhawks — and yes, there are Ferryhawks fans in the stands. We like to sit in the upper deck, behind home plate.  That gives us access to the Duck Club, much better food than is sold on the main level (they even have a gluten free menu!) It’s fireworks night, so we get a small preview during the national anthem.  There’s a burst of fireworks each time a Ducks player hits a home run (three home runs that night!) and during the 7th inning stretch, And then … Bottom of the 7th inning.  The score is 7-3 Ducks.  The inning ends.  And the skies open up. A decision is made to present the fireworks during the rain delay. Most of the crowd leaves.  We stay, thinking the game might continue. The umpires call the game 30 minutes into the rain delay. Still a fun night.

 And the theme? June boasts the most daylight hours. Share music about long sunny days. Express yourself in song however this prompt moves you!  That’s an easy one.

 Late afternoon, the shadow is so long it stretches past the fence.
