songbird's crazy world

  The Men in My Little Girl's Life 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: The Men in My Little Girl's Life (1965)     Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it  here . Chosen for Father's Day. 1) In this song, a father shares the story of his daughter's life through first the boys, then the men, she brought home. The first is Rod, a little kid who wants to play in the backyard. Who were your playmates when you were young? Did you find it more fun to have them over to your home, or to go to theirs? I have three younger sisters,I th...

Just hanging out.  

 So yeah, Knicks in 5.  The parade will be Thursday.  Chaos in lower Manhattan. I will not be there.  And yeah, I’m really enjoying our patio; nice place to hang out for a couple of hours. But there’s absolutely no shade on the patio, so we’re going to need a canopy  if we’re having a barbecue. And we are planning one for July 4.  So we ordered a canopy, one that comes with mosquito netting.   The New York political primaries are June 23.  Early voting has started.  Drew and I voted yesterday, in the same building where they’re handing out community pool passes.  The pools open Friday.  I can’t wait! Meanwhile I a still  obsessing over yoga.  I’ve found several yoga channels on YouTube that I am really liking. Namaste.

 Your choice again... ...so today I choose Fleetwood Mac. The Rumours album was one of my favorites.  Released in 1977, the music evokes memories of my junior and senior years of high school. I must have played that album until the vinyl wore out.   I finally got to see Fleetwood Mac in concert in 2013, at Jones Beach.  Great show.   So here are some of my favorites from Fleetwood Mac. And my absolute favorite -- how can you resist Stevie Nicks singing about a breakup with her lover while said lover accompanies her on the guitar?  

 So with temperatures in the 90’s and the humidity level reminiscent of Florida,I decided that I should take a walk early Friday morning, when it was still relatively cool. I  saw a lot of birds, some squirrels, and three bunnies.  And it occurred to me that I haven’t seen our backyard bunny in several days.  I miss the little critter. I hope he’s ok.

 I am really enjoying our patio.  A lounge chair, an umbrella for shade, my iPad, a cold drink, and I’m all set.  I look a long walk Saturday morning then vegged on the patio most of the afternoon. Sunday promises to be more of the same. Saturday night we saw Disclosure Day. A mature Spielberg explores the same themes as in earlier works, like Close Encounters and E.T. Government conspiracies and alien entanglements.  Emily  Blunt is amazing.   Afterwards, we grabbed a bite to eat at the diner, and listened to the Knicks game as we drove home.  Got home in time to see the last five minutes of the game.  Final score 94 - 90, Knicks won and became the champions!    Some of our neighbors shot off fireworks to celebrate. On to the victory parade! Now we move on to FIFA, the World Cup games being played at MetLife …er, NY/NJ Stadium. I’m not a soccer fan, I don’t anticipate getting caught up in the excitement. Sad news about one of our f...
