Saturday Six – Episode 100

Last Updated on January 6, 2019

Yes, it says “Episode 100!“

In celebration of the 100th edition of the Saturday Six, I’m running six new questions chosen by the readers. Be sure to visit their blogs, and enjoy the questions!

My friend Carly of “Ellipsis…Suddenly Carly” was first to play last week for the second week in a row! Congratulations, Carly!

Here are this week’s “Saturday Six” questions. Either answer the questions in a comment here, or put the answers in an entry on your journal…but either way, leave a link to your journal so that everyone else can visit! To be counted as “first to play,” you must be the first player to either answer the questions in a comment or to provide a complete link to the specific entry in your journal in which you answer the questions. A link to your journal in general cannot count. Enjoy!

1. READER’S CHOICE QUESTION #79 from Cat: If you could trade places with one person in your family for a week, who would you choose? And would you want to trade as they are now, or sometime in the past (or future)?

2. READER’S CHOICE QUESTION #80 from De: What were you doing 1 year ago this month, and are you more or less satisfied with your life today?

3. READER’S CHOICE QUESTION #81 from Lisa: Do you prefer watching television over surfing the internet?

4. READER’S CHOICE QUESTION #82 from Antonette: Outside of the U.S., where would you live and why?

5. READER’S CHOICE QUESTION #83 from Elton: When you leave your home, do you ever feel paranoid that you’ve left something behind?

6. READER’S CHOICE QUESTION #84 from Laura: What song or songs would you want played at your own funeral and why?

There are more Reader’s Choice questions that I’ll be asking in future editions, but if you have one you’d like to see asked (and answered), click the e-mail link in my Blogger profile and send it to me.

MY ANSWERS:

1. I think I would choose my younger cousin, during his senior high school year, when he seemed to be Mr. Popularity. I am curious to see what that would have been like — even though I suspect I wouldn’t particularly enjoy it.

2. One year ago this month, I was doing the same thing I am doing now: Working too much.

3. This is a tough question for me. I still prefer television over the internet, although the internet is a very close second.

4. London. I think it would be a fascinating place to live.

5. Generally, I’m more paranoid that I didn’t lock the door. I’m a little obsessive-compulsive about that.

6. Hmm. I like Debussy’s “Claire de lune” because it has always struck me as an uplifting tune. As for hymns, my favorite is “The Savior is Waiting.” And my favorite big band tune is one played during one of several montages during Johnny Carson’s final “Tonight Show” and is called “Memories of You.” (I honestly don’t know the words, but the melody is one I’m quite fond of; an instrumental would be fine with me.)
