Liberated from Kwizgiver
1. Political show: Morning Joe on MSNBC. They always have a variety of opinions represented, and even when the guests disagree, they do it with civility and fun.
2. Picnic food: Potato chips.
3. Mixed drink: I spent my time in Key West enjoying pomegranitinis, and they were very good.
4. U.S. President: Of all time? Lincoln. FDR would be second. My lifetime? Kennedy. All three of them inspired us to rise to the occasion and try to be all we can be as a nation. I have high hopes for Obama (even though I'm old and cynical, I want to believe what we can do if we listen to "our better angels").
5. Kind of student to teach: I'm still learnng myself.
6. Hobby you do or wish you still did: I'd like to learn another language.
7. Sports commentator: Pat and Ron (Pat Hughes and Ron Santo, the Cubs radio team)
8. Sport to watch on TV: Cubs baseball
9. Animal to have as a pet: I'm a feline aficionado
10. Halloween costume you have worn: Harpo Marx
11. Kind of dessert: Right now I'd like a slice of strawberry rhubarb pie
12. Comic strip: I read Apartment 3G when I was in high school. Does it still exist?
13. Ice cream flavor: Mint chocolate chip
14. News source: I'm a news junkie. I read the Chicago Tribune every Mon-Fri, Time and Newsweek, and I watch MSNBC and CNN.
15. Vacation spot: Chateau Elan, a winery and spa in Atlanta. If I'm still employed, I want to go back this March. (That's a photo of the spa above)
16. Wine: Since I'm thinking of Chateau Elan, I'll go with their muscadine wines. Light and sweet and with a kick that creeps up on you.
17. Way to waste time instead of working: blogging, Pogo, email, watching TV (my answers are suspiciously like Kwizgiver's)
18. Reality show: American Idol, especially after the auditions. (This IS Kwizgiver's)
19. Children’s movie: Mary Poppins (Likewise, Kwiz and I are on the same page)
20. Celebrity you wish would retire: Madonna and her, "Oh, look! I'm outrageous" act. To paraphrase Cabaret, "You're about as shocking as an afterdinner mint."
What a lovely compound for the spa. Your answers are great, too!
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree more about Madonna.
ReplyDeleteRhubarb anything - yuk.
Strawberries - yes.
Blogging a waste of time? Oh come on. You know it's now become a staple of life....just sayin'...
I just opened my last jar of strawberry rhubarb jam(no I did't make it) and it is the BEST! Wish you were here so we could share a fresh baked scone with jam....YUM!
ReplyDeleteGreat bunch of favorites. McDonna's still around?
