Saturday Six #30 - Reconciliation




Every weekend, Patrick asks a half dozen questions. Every weekend, I answer them. There seems to be a pattern, but I'm unable to discern it. Do you suppose I am too close to the events to see clearly?

1. If you could invent your own cable channel, what would it be called and what type of programming would it show?
  It'd be called OFC - Old Fogey's Channel. And it would be geared to the sensibilities of the over 60-crowd. Depends, Ensure and Polident commercials, the major soaps, Lawrence Welk, Golden Girls and Murder She Wrote reruns ... you get the picture. It's an untapped market.

2.  What is your typical Thanksgiving dinner menu?
Roast Turkey, Stuffing, Smashed Potatoes, Candied Yams, Green Bean Casserole, mashed Squash or a Maple Syrup baked Acorn Squash instead of Yams, Apple and Pumpkin Pies for dessert.

3. What was your first job?  Was it within the career path you ultimately intended to pursue?
Mowing lawns & nope - not even close. Then again, I never did have a clear career path. Life would have been simpler if I did.

4. You're at home by yourself:  do you prefer to wear shoes, slippers, socks only or go barefooted?
While I'd prefer to be barefoot, the only option most of the year is heavily insulated booties. This house is over 150 years old, was poorly made to start with and has had little or no maintenance.
5.What's your favorite restaurant appetizer?
Broiled, stuffed mushrooms or crab rangoons, depending on where I eat out.

6. READER'S CHOICE QUESTION #30 from Carly: Do you have a single comment that was ever left that you really enjoyed to the point you still remember it?

Sadly (and this speaks to my own faults and deficiencies, not those of my commenters), no.

Get a copy of the questions for yourself over to Patrick's Place and leave a link to your answers to this week's questions in the comments over there.
