On this day theme...
1. On this day in 1908, Billy Murray hits the charts with his “Take Me Out to The Ball Game”. Did you watch the MLB playoffs, and are you watching the World Series?
No, I didn't watch the playoffs and no, I'm not watching the World Series. I might if the Cincinnati Reds were in it, but otherwise, no.
2. On this day in 1962, “The Manchurian Candidate”, directed by John Frankenheimer, starring Frank Sinatra and Laurence Harvey, was released. What is your favorite Frank Sinatra song?
"I Get a Kick Out of You" is a good one.
3. On this day in 1968, Mick Jagger and Marianne Faithful were busted for pot and released on £50 bail. Has your state approved the sale of medical marijuana? In a nutshell, what are your thoughts on the subject?
It has been approved in my state, however, the process and rules are all still being set up. My thoughts are rather mixed and I'll leave it at that.
4. On this day in 1979, the Guinness Book of Records presented Paul McCartney with a rhodium disc as the all-time best-selling singer-songwriter. What is your favorite song by Paul McCartney?
I've never been a Paul McCartney or Beetles fan, but I do like the song "Live and Let Die" from the James Bond movie of the same name.
5. On this day in 2017, Albert Einstein’s “Theory of Happiness” written on a note as a tip for a bellboy in 1922, sold for $1.6 million. His Theory of Happiness is: “A calm and modest life brings more happiness than the pursuit of success combined with constant restlessness.” Was Einstein right?
I agree. And the older I get, the more content I am with what I have.
6. Tell us something random about your week so far…
Nothing too random has occurred yet, but I'm doing a 5K this weekend and that's rather random for me. lol
Definitely having some font problems today. lol I Think I may have it fixed now. Let's see!
Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a great day!

So funny - I thought that first question said "Bill Murray" & I was like, WHAT? How did he write that so long ago? haha!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so with you on so many of your answers...and yes, you are definitely having font issues...it made the post quite fun to read though - HA!
ReplyDeleteI was having font problems too but after editing, deleting and editing some more, I got it fixed. I hate it when that happens! My husband love the Cincinnati Reds too!

I'm with you on feeling more content with things as I get older...though, maybe content isn't quite it since I often actually feel a lot of discontent with all the stuff I have. I'm already developing that urge to clear out the house and streamline. My biggest fantasy is starting to look a lot like putting a big dumpster in the driveway and tossing everything that isn't good enough to give away.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the 5K! That is so awesome and impressive!
